All Sessions: We collaborate by doing live reviews during the session so you can see which expressions and angles are working best, plus you have the opportunity to review your hair and clothing. By collaborating this way, you let me know what you like in the images as we progress so we’re sure to highlight your best features. When you leave the session you come away knowing exactly what will be delivered. Make-up is a great option for women, but not mandatory. When you opt for make-up, plan to arrive between 1-1/2 and 2 hours prior to your session time. All these detail are confirmed when you book. You have the option of purchasing as many files as you like, it’s explained in the Investment section. Most of all, we have a great time. Headshot sessions are by appointment only at my Lake Alice Studio in Fall City, Washington. Call Mike at 425.260.4033 or email mike@mikenakamuraphotography.com

Update your LinkedIn profile to match your professionalism, confidence, and approachability.
A modern, compelling, and current headshot makes a great first impression.
Today's headshot reality Your professional brand depends on it. In less than a second, someone visiting your LinkedIn page or company website forms an opinion. Remember, people do business with people and while you've worked hard to make sure every detail of your company presentation matches your market, put the finishing touches on it by including a polished personal appearance. Having your headshot current demonstrates you are investing in your career, your business is serious, and increases your credibility. You're building the trust of customers by showing them you, not just your company. A confident and friendly headshot is more than just a portrait of you, it's a marketing partner for your brand. Elevate your message by engaging customers personally - in person with your headshot. There are different opinions about the subtleties of what makes a great headshot; however, all agree that you want to stand out in a positive way and when you do meet you customer, you look like your photograph.

Tips and FAQ Rest up the evening before you come in for your session and be prepared just as you would be for any other business meeting. Regarding makeup, we're going for the business you, not a glamour shot. We'll take care of blemishes and other issues. For hair, don't tie it back to avoid any creases. We may have you pull it back during the session and want to start with you hair in its natural form. Have a selection of clothes so we can work together to find the best outfit for you. This all about you, so anything that takes eyes off of you is to be avoided. Big jewelry, busy patterns, frilly necklines, heavy makeup, and flat collars are some of the things to avoid. Few people look good in skin-tone clothing. Generally, solid colors or light tone on tone patterns work well. Mid-tone to darker colors are usually best. Long selves gives the greatest posing flexibility. When possible, bring you clothes in a hanger bag to keep it as fresh as possible.
Tips and FAQ continued Glasses: If you have several sets, bring them. If you can, have the lenses removed on at least one favorite pair. We work with and around glasses so we’ll still get it done; however, we have more options with the lenses removed. Retouching or digital airbrushing is done on images unless you purchase the "All selected high resolution jpgs from session (not retouched)" option. Don't worry; you'll look like yourself after retouching. We are showcasing the real you and, yes we do offer a bit of help, no one will wonder if you had work done. Hey, what about the top of my head? We capture the top of your head; however we usually crop it off. Remember the saying, "The top of your head is the window into the soul." I don't either; however, I do like a compelling look into your eyes. Especially in our "thumbnail" world where your profile photograph is about an inch tall, we suggest a tight crop. We do everything needed to make you look as beautiful, cool, confident, fun, approachable and as charming as you truly are!
