Makeup and photoshoot in Tartu
Makeup and photoshoot in Tartu — the full package for €120
One booking, two specialists and finished images: I do the makeup, Anna shoots. The package is €120, the makeup takes 75 minutes, and the shoot follows immediately at Sära Fotostuudio in the same building on Kastani 42. No hunting for a makeup artist and a photographer separately, and no travel across town in between.
What the package includes
The package is for someone who wants proper portraits without doing the project management. The whole chain — makeup, light, frame and retouching — sits under one roof and inside one price.
We start with makeup. It is a full photo makeup, not a quick version: the camera reads skin differently from the eye, so I build the base in layers and check separately how it behaves under studio light. We move straight into the shoot while the makeup is fresh.
During the shoot Anna directs the poses and watches the expression. If something shifts — lip colour, a strand of hair, shine on the nose — I am there to fix it between frames, so no shot is wasted.
- Photo makeup, 75 minutes
- Studio session at Sära Fotostuudio
- The makeup artist stays for the whole shoot
- Retouched images by an agreed deadline
- Outfit changes during the session are possible
Who books it
People book it for LinkedIn and website portraits, press photos for actors and musicians, refreshing a modelling portfolio, milestone birthday images and as a gift. Couples and mother-and-daughter pairs often book it too, when they want a coherent set of images in a single day.
If you have a specific goal — a CV photo, an album cover, social content — say so in advance. It changes both how strong the makeup should be and how many vertical frames Anna shoots.
How the day runs
Before we meet we agree the date, the time and the style. Bring two or three outfits: one simple and neutral, one with more character. Soft mid-tones photograph better in the studio than pure black and white.
On the day we begin with makeup: skin prep, base, brows, eyes and lips, 75 minutes in total. Along the way we check the look through a phone camera, because the screen shows immediately whether the sculpting is too heavy.
Then we move to the set. We start with calm portraits so you have time to settle in front of the lens, and only then go for bolder frames. At the end we review the images together and choose the ones that go into retouching.
Makeup only, or the whole package?
If you already have a photographer, you do not need the package — book photoshoot makeup on its own for €45 and 75 minutes and arrive at your shoot camera-ready.
The package makes sense when you want someone else to handle the logistics. Bought separately, makeup and a studio session cost more and require two agreements, two locations and the travel time in between, during which the makeup loses its freshness.
Price and duration
Makeup and photoshoot together — €120. The makeup takes 75 minutes, followed by the shoot in the same building. If you also want hair, add €30 and the booking extends by 60 minutes; the calendar accounts for the longer slot automatically. Photoshoot makeup without the session is €45 for 75 minutes.
Where we are
Everything happens at Kastani 42, Aparaaditehas, Tartu. The makeup space and Sära Fotostuudio share the building, so the gap between the last touch-up and the first frame is a minute, not half an hour on a bus.
The building is easy to reach by car, with parking in the yard. If you are travelling from further away, arrive a little early so you can settle before the shoot — it shows in the pictures.

Frequently asked questions
- How many retouched images do I get?
- We agree the number before the shoot and pick the strongest frames together at the end.
- Do I need to know how to pose?
- No. Anna directs you throughout, and we begin with the simplest frames.
- Can I change outfits?
- Yes, there is space for it in the studio. Bring two or three sets.
- Does the package suit men?
- It does. For men we even out the tone and control shine, which does not read as makeup on camera.
- Can the package be given as a gift?
- Yes. We issue a gift card for the value of the package and the recipient picks the date.
If you need images where you look like yourself on a good day, this is the simplest route. Send a date that works and we will organise the rest. If the shoot is already booked, photoshoot makeup alone is enough; for a wedding see bridal makeup. To learn makeup yourself, join a makeup course.
