Time to update your headshot? The local conservatory has you covered. The following photographers will be participating in this year’s headshot event. Each appointment is $135 for a 30-minute one-shot session, resulting in one final retouched headshot. Any additional looks you wish to purchase can be discussed with the photographer. Each headshot session will take place at the photographer’s studio
Most photographers have a makeup artist for $50 per session. Use of the professional makeup artist is encouraged, if available. Once you make your appointment, you will need to make payment to confirm your reservation.
To schedule an appointment, please email jess.jones@sagaftra.org with the name of photographer and approximate time you would like to schedule your appointment.
