Celebrate sweater weather with camera-ready hair, makeup, and portraits that glow. Our Fall Beauty Glow Special pairs Dorothy Shi Photography with Stacy Donnelly Beauty to create a timeless, natural look that photographs beautifully-available now through November 20 at our NYC studio.
Autumn light is magic. It softens skin tones, adds warmth to hair color, and gives images that cozy, editorial feel you see in magazines. Whether you're refreshing a LinkedIn headshot, planning branding portraits, updating an actor's portfolio, or creating holiday card photos, fall color and gentle light make this the most flattering season to step in front of the camera.
Dorothy is known for guiding posing and expression so you look confident, approachable, and authentically *you*. With years of experience photographing executives, creatives, and performers, she creates a calm studio vibe and lights you for that soft, luminous finish.
Stacy specializes in modern, camera-ready glam: radiant skin, soft curls or waves, and refined detail that reads beautifully in photos (and in person). The goal is simple-elevated, not overdone-so your features shine while your individuality stays front and center.
Natural glam that lasts the entire session, with skin prep for a smooth, healthy glow.
Multiple lighting set-ups and guided posing to find your most flattering angles.
We'll help you dial in expressions from warm and friendly to confident and powerful.
Select your favorites with expert guidance; optional retouching for a polished finish.
Extra looks, wardrobe consults, outdoor portraits near the studio, or team headshot days.
> Booking Window: Now through **November 20** (limited weekday and select weekend slots)
Bring 2-3 outfits in solid or subtle textures. Think seasonal tones-cream, camel, rust, forest, deep berry-that complement autumn palettes. Avoid busy patterns and neon. Steam or press items the night before.
Hydrate well, moisturize, and avoid new skincare right before your session. If you color your hair, aim for 5-7 days post-color for peak freshness.
Simple jewelry photographs elegantly. Bring lip balm and a favorite lipstick for quick touch-ups.
We'll guide everything-posing, chin, shoulders, hands, even breathing-so you can relax and enjoy. Music is welcome!
