PortraitYOU Day / May 16, 2024

Headshots in Houston!

Nervous about having your headshots done?

Houston, you’re not alone! And I can’t wait to meet you!

I’m moving to Houston in June, but before I officially arrive, I’ll be hosting another PortraitYOU Day in May!

There are so many things to think about, not to mention dealing with the knots that form in your stomach in front of a camera. PortraitYOU Days are for people like you who just want to show up, let a professional do their makeup, and then actually enjoy having a fresh portrait taken. If you’re looking to upgrade your LinkedIn profile picture, refresh your business website photo, or even take dating photos, this is your perfect opportunity to check that off your list. You’ll walk away from your session singing, “All I do is win, win, win!”

As a certified branding expert and small business owner of 19 years, I understand the value of building your brand's reputation at every touchpoint, including your headshot. Just like you search LinkedIn, social media, and other websites to learn more about the people you are interested in doing business with, people are doing the same search for you!

“Have had my headshots taken twice by Shala and I will go back. Working with her is fast, fun, and easy. And the shots are amazing. Her eye and style are perfect. I'm not always excited about getting my pics taken, but with Shala, it's a totally different experience. I always come out feeling seen by both her and the camera. Refer her all the time. I will be back!”

FAQs

Do I pay in full to reserve my session?

A non-refundable deposit of $200 is required to reserve your appointment. The balance will be charged on the day of the session.

When should I arrive?

Arrive 5 minutes early to ensure each session starts on time and you have time to park. Park on the lot off the street. You’ll see a big ART sculpture. Enter through the front entrance doors (to the right of Unbridaled).

Once in, walk all the way towards the back (past the bathrooms) until you see the SECOND staircase. Go up that one, and we’ll be the first door to your left, #235.

How long will my total session take?

Between makeup, the photo shoot, and image selection, block 90 minutes in your calendar.

What do I wear?
