I specialize in quick and easy headshots, done in about 15 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 $150-$175 for a session and you'll receive a proof gallery and your choice of 2 images for retouching. (You can keep the others too.)
If you'd like a studio session, the studio space is in Langford, near Coscto.
If you'd like two different outfits, there is usually time for one wardrobe change. If you need more time and more final photos, we can do a double session and spend 30 minutes shooting!
I'd love to hear from you! Send me a message and tell me a little about yourself and what kind of headshot you need. 🙂
Outdoor sessions are done at Portage Park, in View Royal. Studio sessions are done at my studio in Langford, by Costco. If you have a group of people and would like me to come to your workplace or office, let me know the location and we will see what we can work out!
You will get your choice of 2 images, lightly retouched and edited as needed. Plus, you will get all the photos in your proof gallery, which is usually about 20, but these will be unedited.
Yes, additional photos (edits) can be purchased for $25 each.
Yes, I have a home-based studio in Langford where we can do the photos if you prefer.
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!
Studio sessions are about 15 minutes. Outdoor sessions are about 20 minutes because we will need walking time to and from the parking lot where we meet.
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 litle 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.
