Professional Headshots in Oakville
That Actually Feel Like You!

The cost of a headshot in Oakville can vary significantly based on the photographer's skill and experience. Beginner photographers may charge as little as $50 to $150 for a session. However, for professional quality and expertise, the minimum spend at our Oakville studio is $275. This investment ensures you receive a high-quality headshot that accurately represents your professional image. With experienced photographers, you can expect superior lighting, expert posing guidance, and advanced retouching to enhance your final images.

The outfits we choose for your professional headshot will depend mostly on usage and industry. Seasonality can also impact your outfit styling as well.

I always recommend that my clients bring all of their favourite pieces to the studio so we can have that conversation and style you on the spot.

It's impossible to overpack, but some things that people often forget to bring are:

Basic Tops: Plain, solid colour tees, tanks, fitted sweaters, camisoles etc. These can transform any look into something more casual and relaxed.

Prescription Glasses: One of my favourite style accessories! If you wear glasses and have options, bring them all. It's nice to play with different frames but it's also nice to have backup options if we are contending with difficult reflections.

Jewelry: For head and shoulder headshots, I advise against jewelry as it can be distracting. However, for portraits, it's all fair game!

Additionally, if it's in the budget, I work with some great professional stylists from Burlington, Oakville and Hamilton who I can refer.

You get to select and purchase as many images as you like at your session.

I shoot all portraits and headshots tethered. That’s just a fancy way of saying the shots in my camera go straight to my laptop so you can see them on a larger screen, in real time.

As we shoot, I mark the best photos so we can talk about what we see and what needs to be fixed before we continue taking photos.

After your session, we go through the list together to narrow down only the images you want to purchase

As much as I’d like to think I have the eye to find your best side, YOU are the one who gets the final say. But I an 100% there for you for recommendations and advice!

One of the things that I believe sets this studio apart from other photographers in Burlington and Oakville is that professional retouching is included with every image purchase. This is done by hand, not using filters, so I have the ultimate control and ability to fine tune how drastic the retouch turns out.

While I believe less is more when it comes to retouching, if certain things stand out in your headshot that you wish to have adjusted, we can discuss them during your session.

3-5 business days.

If you require a faster turnaround, let me know in your session notes at booking or at your session.

Images are delivered through an online gallery and sent to the email you booked your session with.

Headshots are a very specific type of photography that even a lot of photographers misname.

All professional headshots are portraits, but not all portraits are headshots.

A professional headshot should be taken close up so the focus is on the face and your expression, preferably taken in a studio on a plain background.

Within portrait photography, there are many other sub genres but the main distinction is that a portraits often, but not always pose the rest of the body. Some types of portraits may include:

• Branding Photos (Environmental Portraits)

• Business Portraits (Corporate Photography)

• Glamour Portraits

• Commercial Portraits

• Fashion Photography

• Beauty Photography

The list goes on! While I do offer portrait sessions along side headshot sessions, my philosophy is that while everyone may need a headshot, most people don't always need a portrait.

Most people hate having their pictures taken. I mean, they literally would do anything to avoid it. I get it. I'm one of them, which is why I got into photography in the first place….

It's hard to know what your face is doing when you can't see it. Truth is, the perfect shot exists in everyone and we WILL get yours. That's a promise.

Remember, your session length is flexible. I'm not here to rush you if we don't have to. We will shoot as much as we need for as long as we need and I guarantee we'll bring out an expression you didn't know you had.

I pride myself on offering a very specific and consistent style of headshot to my clients, but I also love colouring outside the lines. If you have a unique style of photography you love or need to match other headshots for your company or personal collection, send me some examples and I would be happy to accommodate your preference.

Absolutely. For some people, it makes the experience way more comfortable. But, you might want to warn them. I WILL try to take their picture!

Absolutely! Event headshots are not only a specialty of mine but also one of my favourite ways to assist vendors in generating valuable leads. If you'd like to dive deeper into how I approach this, give me a call!

As many as you need, no more and no less. Images are sold individually on-site after your session, and it is a guided process. That means you don’t need to spend a week sorting through 200 photos and feel overwhelmed making a choice, not knowing what to even look for. I will never sell you an image that I don’t think puts your best foot forward, and I won’t stop shooting until you get an image you are thrilled about.

This is a great option if you have a large team and something I offer for individuals and teams, large or small. If you are looking to have several people photographed in a single day, I do offer group sessions up to 12 people in studio with a reduced session rate or I can come to your location. Location fees apply.
