Why Your Headshots Will Stand Out
-
Expression Coaching
Do you think a professional headshot will look forced, awkward and outdated? Think again.
Expression is everything! We work together in a unique way to create facial expressions that complement your true personality and align with your brand.
-
On Site Image Selection
Nothing is more frustrating than being left on your own with hundreds of images to choose from.
During your session, we will review all the images together so you only walk away with the best shots.
-
Retouching Included
Every image purchase includes free professional retouching.
All headshots are carefully hand-retouched in-house, giving you the highest-quality images with a fast turnaround.
You Deserve An Expression That Seems Effortless!
Do you know what your face is telling someone when they are talking to you? Can you tell by someone's face how they feel when you are talking to them?
Facial expressions signal to others that you are someone they should approach or someone they should avoid. So let’s make it a good one.

His knowledge as a Headshot photographer is incredible, and it shows in the results of the pictures. He has a great personality to work with, which allowed him to get the best out of me.
The results were phenomenal, and I am so happy that I chose Art as my photographer.

Ask All Your Headshot Questions
Have a question that I haven’t answered? Send me a text at 905-616-6316. You should feel 100% confident in your choice to work together and I’d be happy to talk to you about anything on your mind.
-
While other studios in Oakville, Burlington and Toronto offer different headshot packages and rates, I use a session fee + image fee model. The total cost of your session will depend on how many images you wish to purchase.
For more pricing information, visit my pricing and booking page!
-
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.
-
Standard delivery is typically within 3-5 business days of purchasing your images.
If you require a faster turnaround, rush delivery is available. 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.
