business portrait
Jana is always on the move with her husband which means she frequently searches for new jobs to pick up part time. It's definitely a hassle to keep applying, but she enjoys being able to live in different cities and have a well rounded perspective of American and Canadian life. Her favourite outfit was this crisp blue shirt, because did you know—blue is proven to be the friendliest colour!

Isha needed to come in for a quick loosely shot colour photo to submit as a high resolution JPEG to her company. The photo would be converted later into black and white by the graphic design team and would be cropped to a horizontal portrait. Normally we wouldn't suggest wearing this much colour and patterns, but since Isha's photo was being outputted as a black and white, the colours won't be as distracting.
We always encourage our customers to bring as many outfits changes as they like. Different clothes can suit different purposes so it's good to have options!
Linkedin headshot
Kunal is a recent hire as a senior business analyst for a management consulting firm. His company required that we shoot his portrait loosely, so that they can crop it to what ever size they need later. So, we shot his portrait with a vertical orientation that had his waist and arms in the frame. As you can see here, vertical photos can become a cozy horizontal portrait with just the right crop.
Business headshot
Ben is a managing director who wanted to retake his business headshot. The photographer who took his current headshot, overdid the retouching and he felt it didn't represent how he looked in real life. He didn't mind it when it was viewed as a thumbnail size, but it certainly wasn't the best choice for his company's website. This was our best shot from the session, capturing a natural smile that occurred when we busted out some jokes to make him laugh.
Domenic was looking to get a headshot for his website and to update his LinkedIn page.
He debated back and forth on whether or not he should add grooming services to his package. In the end, he decided against it after we mentioned that we would take care of blemishes in post production.
In Domenic's case, since he was only concerned about a couple problem spots, it was an easy fix in photoshop. Although it's true that we do retouching on every photo, which includes taking care of redness or acne on the skin, we can't deny that it is a useful upgrade that helps people feel confident and camera ready. Still can't decide? Just let us know the details and we'll point you in the right direction!
Rebecca came in the other day and needed a quick headshot to get done, by which we mean she needed it the next day! Luckily, we were able to fit in a rush order for 3 photos in 24 hour turn around time. Let us know if there's a certain date you need your photo(s) by and we'll do our best to accommodate your request. Please enquire about rates regarding our upgraded express options.
Business portrait
Tammy is the Executive Director of a corporate events company, and needed some updated headshots to post on her website and use for promotional content. She booked a hair and make up artist who stayed for the session to do touchups and comb through the hair, which often gets ruffled around due to the posing and tilting. Though she brought many outfit variations, in the end she opted for a warm toned colour palette against a mature grey background.
Veroljub needed a loosely cropped simple photo to submit to his marketing team. The graphic designer needed a full resolution, colour shot that would later be cropped to a shoulders up headshot, and converted into black and white. If your employer has certain specifications for your photo, please don't hesitate to forward us all the information necessary so that we can make sure to output the file as per the requirements.
