A headshot is your digital first impression. It’s a tool to show that you are serious about what you do, the equivalent of a good handshake in a digital world. Whether you are in an environment that values and rewards tradition, or you are an individual whose mission is to disrupt the current status quo, I can help you create the headshots and videos to help you start posting more or take your online presence to the next level.
Whether you are a solopreneur starting your first venture outside the corporate world, a technical expert in a saturated field looking for your next job, or a company that is trying to improve its lead generation to eventually gain more market share, building content online that allows your audience to know and trust you is the most accessible lever you have to access the opportunities that will impact your career and/or business.
My offerings include Corporate and Staff Headshots, Commercial videography and photography, Photo/Video Event Coverage, and more.
I have several offerings depending on your needs. Studio sessions for Individuals start at $275+gst, while on-location start at $325+gst. Personal Branding Sessions are designed for individuals that require a higher volume of images to populate their website, social media, marketing collateral (digital/print). The third Friday of each month I run a LinkedIn Headshot Marathon session for those that need to update their LinkedIn profile photo. For more information visit the service page.
Individuals Corporate Headshots sessions last 45-60 minutes. For Staff Headshots Sessions the shortest time to allocate per individual is 20 minutes. Tradeshow Floor Headshots Photo-booths last 5 minutes per individual.
Since December 2023 I’ve been lucky enough to have my own studio space a few steps away from Stephen Avenue, at the grain Exchange Building. However, for Staff Headshots Sessions, depending on the number of people to photograph, it makes more sense for me to come to your location and setup an on-location photo studio to be more efficient with your staff’s time.
Whether I’m photographing your staff at your office, creating new stock images for your website on your manufacturing location or you were able to convince your clients to allow you to film the work you’ve done for them, I am open to travel all across Canada.
After booking a session, whether is a Corporate Session or a Personal Branding Session, we’ll have a quick chat about what you should expect for the day of the shoot, part of it is: “What should I wear?”. For most Corporate Headshots sessions, one outfit is enough, I walk you through what to look for in an outfit for your session.
One of the key reasons why different outfits are required for the Personal Branding Session is the variety of background options available. Whether we want to take advantage of the old industrial aesthetic of the studio or the different seamless or hand-painted canvas backgrounds, the outfits you wear will have a huge impact on the final product.
Whether you want some variety for your content, want to incorporate your business location or you have to match an specific background color that aligns with your company’s brand guideline I can make it happen.
All studio and on-location shoots are tethered to an external monitor, allowing us to see the photos as they are being captured. This is immensely helpful in ensuring that we achieve the desired results and serves as a valuable tool for you during the shoot. I go the extra mile during the shoot because I believe that retouching should enhance what the camera captures, not correct mistakes made during the shoot.
The retouching process includes exposure and color correction, background cleanup, blemish removal, teeth whitening, dodge and burn, and color grading
I don’t have a hair and make-up artist on staff; however, I have worked with many over the 6 years that I’ve been in business, and I am happy to pass on their contact information for you to see their portfolio and check their availability. All of the people that I recommend meet the same standard of quality.
After booking your session, I will send a PDF (soon this will be replaced by a video tutorial) with some insight on what works best for each type of session. It provides examples and basic guidelines on what to wear for a great Corporate or Personal Branding Session.
Corporate Headshots are delivered within 3 business days after the shoot, Personal Branding usually take more time as the number of images to be delivered is higher, but usually they get delivered between 3-5 business days.
In the case that the images are required sooner, and express delivery service is available at an extra fee.
Both the Staff Headshots and Headshots Photo Booths services have significantly lower per person rate than the Corporate Headshot Session. The quality of the final result is the same, and in the case of Staff Headshots, the added benefit of being able to sent new hires into the studio at a discounted rate no matter if it’s only one person.
Life happens and sometimes you might not be able to make the session on time or at all on the date and time that was agreed upon. There is a re-scheduling fee of $100+gst if communicated at least 48 hours before the beginning of the session. If you cancel within the 48 hours prior to the non-refundable deposit will be taken and we will have to go through the booking process again.
For Personal Branding Session, I will encourage you to bring any props that will communicate your expertise to you audience. I’ve found that these photos become extremely useful specially when updating your website and creating social media content.

If I learned anything over the last 6 years is that replying to your emails as quick as possible goes a long way in the relationship. There are two reasons why I won’t reply to you within the hour: 1) I’m currently in the middle of a shoot 2) driving back to Calgary from an out of town shoot. Regardless You’ll hear from be before the next day tops.
