I specialize in quick and easy headshots, done in about 15 to 20 minutes.
I've been in front of the camera, as well as behind. I understand what it’s like to have a big lens pointed at your face – it can be quite intimidating! And, you probably don't do this often, so I’ll do my best to make you comfortable by getting the shots quickly and I'll never make you feel stiff by holding a pose for a long time!
The fee is $175-$350 for a session and you'll receive a proof gallery and your choice of 3 images for retouching. (Head & shoulders, three-quarter and full body shot.)
If you'd like a studio session, the studio space is in Langford, near Coscto. Studio sessions are available twice a month on certain dates.Â
If you'd like two different outfits, there is usually time for one wardrobe change. We can do a double session if you'd like more photos and/or more outfit changes.
PLEASE NOTE *** Due to the short nature of headshot sessions, I only set up the studio for them twice a month and book anyone interested during those dates. Outdoor sessions are more flexible with timing.
Yes, additional photos can be purchased for $25 each.Â
I have a home-based studio in Langford, near Florence Lake. If you aren't familiar with the area, that's about 5 minutes NE of Costco! Outdoor sessions are done in a park in View Royal.
If you have a group of people and would like me to come to your workplace or office, I can come to you! Special locations are considered for 3 people or more.
Clothing choice will depend on the look you are going for. If you want a business headshot, choose dressier clothes than for a casual lifestyle portraits. As for colors, I normally tell people to stay away from tones that look like their own skin color – as I’ve seen photos where people tend to look “naked”. Textures (like knitted sweaters) look great, but avoid large patterns/prints and big logos. It might be worthwhile to consider where this photo will end up… is it going on your website which is mostly blue? Then a blue shirt might match well, for example!
Because we don't need walking time to/from the location, and the lights and everything are all set up exactly how we need them when you arrive. Studio sessions are generally about 10 to 15 minutes. Outdoor sessions are about 15 to 20 minutes (we will walk to and from the meeting point together). That said, I'm not a hard stickler for the exact number of minutes; more important is that we get a photo that you love! If we can do this in a few minutes less time, I consider it a win! If we need a few extra minutes, that's ok too!
Yes! You might want to book the longer session if you want to do an outfit change, but generally even the short headshot session can suffice for acting or modeling headshots.
Yes! Please contact me with the number of people in your group, the location you wish to have your session and I'll provide a quote. 🙂
When you work with me, I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and relaxed. (It’s not your job to be a professional model!)
We will have fun, and you can totally be yourself. If you need a little direction because you don’t know what to do, I’ll offer posing suggestions, or give you something to do so you can focus on a task instead of the camera.
