HELL YES!!!  And here’s WHY…….

1. Professionals are called “pros” for a reason.  They have been trained on how to properly apply and enhance your features to give you the best, most polished look possible.  They are able to contour and create a look that transfers through the camera so that you have highlights where you need them in your photographs.

2.  We use high quality makeup because it does its job by covering up blemishes and preventing shine when the lights are on you.  Pigments in regular makeup reflect the light, giving you a shine which can be difficult to fix in photoshop.

3.  Your makeup will STAY PUT during your session, you may be lying on a bed, covering up in sheets, posing with your hands on your face, etc.  You can rest assured that your makeup isn’t going anywhere.

4. When it comes to your hair, you’re going to need a style that will be resilient throughout the entire shoot.  And this is where experience WILL matter…the stylist can help you achieve the look you are going for whether its sultry, elegant, or girl next door.
