Should You Book Hair and Makeup for Your Senior Photos?

I get asked frequently whether to book professional hair and makeup for senior sessions and my answer is.. maybe! I won’t make the blanket statement that going pro is always better because I think we all know someone who has had a bad makeup experience.. BUT! Booking hair and makeup through me is something I can confidently recommend!

While it’s certainly not required to look amazing, working with my trusted hair and makeup artist can elevate your experience and help your photos truly shine!

Why I Recommend My Hair and Makeup Artist

I’ve partnered with Sarah Spoon for almost 5 years now - she's an exceptional artist who has worked with celebrities (though she's way too humble to tell you that) and specializes in creating natural, camera-ready looks. My seniors often hire her again for prom or special events because of how much they love her work! Here’s why you'll love working with her:

  1. Natural, Glowy Results: I know seniors worry about looking overdone, especially if they’re not used to wearing makeup daily. Sarah specializes in enhancing your features subtly so you’ll still look like yourself—just with a little extra polish for the camera!

  2. Expert Communication: She knows the right questions to ask to understand exactly what you want, and she’s so approachable in case you’d like to tweak anything. My clients always feel heard and comfortable with Sarah!

  3. Stress-Free and Fun: Getting ready should feel exciting, not stressful, but I know it's easy to feel the pressure on important days! Sarah creates a relaxed and pampering experience, so you can enjoy every moment.

  4. Flawless for Photos: With her experience and knowledge, your hair and makeup will last the whole shoot and look stunning in every shot!

How I Make It Easy

When you choose to book hair/makeup with me, I handle all the scheduling and communication for you. This way, you can focus on having fun and enjoying your session and won't have to do all the back and forth.

What If I Want to Do It Myself?

Prefer to do your own hair and makeup? That’s totally fine! I support all my clients, whether they choose to book hair and make-up or go the DIY route. (Check out my DIY hair and makeup tips for guidance!)

Whether you book Sarah or stick with your own routine, my goal is to make sure you feel confident, comfortable, and radiant in your photos. Have a look at the photos below to see how Sarah customizes makeup to fit each of my seniors own personal style!
