Headshot Photography in Halifax
Quick, relaxed sessions in our Hammonds Plains studio - two photographers, supportive direction, and retouched files delivered fast.
Headshots for professionals, teams, and performers
Executives, entrepreneurs, media personalities, actors, musicians - if your face is your first impression, this session is for you.
Kate and Alex have photographed news anchors, politicians and executives across Halifax. We bring the same relaxed, supportive direction to every session - most people tell us they hate having their picture taken, then they see their proofs.
Perfect for LinkedIn, company websites, casting calls, and anywhere else you need to look like yourself on your best day.
LinkedIn and corporate headshots in Halifax
A business headshot usually has a few jobs at once - LinkedIn, the company website, an email signature, a speaker bio. For a standard business headshot we aim for the look most people need: confident and approachable. If your photo will sit beside your colleagues' on a team page, tell us when you book so we can match the lighting and background to the rest of the team. The standard session takes 15 minutes, so it fits into a workday, and your proofs are online within 24 hours.
Actor and performer headshots in Halifax
Actors, musicians and other performers need a headshot that looks like you walking into the room, not a heavily edited version of you. Our retouching cleans up blemishes and small imperfections without the excessive changes that make people look unrealistically photoshopped. Professional makeup is worth considering for acting headshots. The signature session gives you 45 minutes, unlimited backdrops and wardrobe changes, and different crops and expressions to choose from.
Realtor headshots in Halifax
Your headshot goes everywhere your listings do, so it needs to look like the person clients will meet at the door. We shoot for confident and approachable, and if your brokerage already has a team page, tell us when you book so your photo matches the others. A standard business headshot is a quick 15-minute session at our Hammonds Plains studio. If you want a few looks for your website, social posts and print, the signature session includes 5 retouched files. Tell us if your brokerage has background standards, or if the photo is headed for signs and print ads, and we'll shoot with that in mind.
Team headshots at our studio or your office
Need the whole team done? We always love having teams come to us at the studio, and we are just as happy to come to you - you always have both options. Either way, lighting and backgrounds match across everyone, so your team page looks consistent. Team days are priced by headcount - around $100 to $125 per person + HST for a small team, down to $49 per person + HST at forty or more - and each person gets one retouched image in 5 to 7 business days. Anyone who misses the day can book an individual session at the studio. See team headshot days on our corporate page.

I am not a person who enjoys having their picture taken... My boss also raved about how she loved the results; the variety of poses; quality of the images; how the proofs were so easy to review online; and how quick and easy the final files were received.
Davina Croucher
I had headshots taken for my new job and they turned out fantastic. Personable, professional, quick turnaround and simply a great experience all around. I don't often say that I love photos of myself but I do love these.
Shauna Selig
I was able to easily book an appointment on the website and was able to choose weekend or evening appointment, which was key to fitting into my busy schedule... I was impressed with the quick turnaround and quality of the photos.

Questions about headshots
How much does a headshot cost in Halifax?
A standard business headshot is $195 + HST - a 15-minute session, one outfit and backdrop, an online proofing gallery and one retouched file. The signature session is $395 + HST for 45 minutes with unlimited backdrops and wardrobe changes and five retouched files. Additional retouched images are $95 each + HST.
What should I wear for a headshot?
Darker solids are the safe bet. Avoid bold patterns and be careful with white unless it is under a jacket. Think of what you would wear to meet a new client. Our headshot guide covers hair, makeup and clothing in more detail.
Is retouching included?
Yes. Every image you order is retouched - shadows, blemishes and small imperfections removed, eyes and skin improved without making you look unrealistically photoshopped. Your proofs are online within 24 hours, and your retouched files are ready about 48 hours after you choose them.
Can you photograph our whole team?
Yes. We run headshot days at your office or at our studio, priced by headcount - from $49 per person + HST for larger teams - with matching lighting and backgrounds across everyone. See our corporate page for details.
Where is the studio?
19 Diana Drive in Hammonds Plains, about twenty minutes from downtown Halifax, with easy parking. Most standard headshots are done in 15 minutes, so they fit into a workday.
I hate having my picture taken. Is that a problem?
Not at all - we hear it on a regular basis. We give constant direction and feedback through the session, so you will not have time to feel awkward, and there are two of us to keep it relaxed.
How quickly will I get my headshots?
Usually within a few days. Your proofs are online within 24 hours of your session, and your retouched files are ready about 48 hours after you choose them. For team headshot days at your office, each person's retouched image is delivered in 5 to 7 business days.
Should I book the standard or the signature headshot session?
Book the standard session if you need one good business headshot - 15 minutes, one outfit, one backdrop and 1 retouched file for $195 + HST. Book the signature session, $395 + HST, if you want several looks: 45 minutes, unlimited backdrops and wardrobe changes, and 5 retouched files. Additional retouched images are $95 each + HST.
Do I need professional hair and makeup for a headshot?
Usually not. Makeup is recommended, but keep it as natural as possible - professional makeup is mainly worth it for acting or modelling headshots. Come in happy with your hair; for men, that usually means within the first week of a visit to the barber. Our retouching takes care of small blemishes.
Most headshots are done in 15 minutes at our Hammonds Plains studio. Need headshots for your whole team? We run photo days at your office or ours - pricing is on the corporate page.
