Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a typical session? 
Headshot sessions for individuals usually take less than an hour to complete, but we'll identify if we think more time is needed during our consultation.

Personal Branding sessions are available as half-day (up to 4hr) and full day (8hr) sessions.
How many images will I receive?
Headshot sessions include one image in the session fee, with additional images and retouching available for purchase individually after your shoot if you fall in love with more of them!

Each Personal Brand package includes a set number of images with additional images and retouching available after your shoot.
What's the difference between the retouching tiers?
We offer three tiers of retouching for our images: 

Basic
- simple exposure, colour and fundamental corrections are made, but a completely natural look is maintained.

Standard
- everything from the basic level, with the additional of subtle skin smoothing and blemish removal.

Portrait
- everything from the standard level, while also utilizing high-end fashion and portraiture retouching techniques for an editorial or glamourous look.
What should I wear for my session? 
The most important thing is to wear clothes that make you feel comfortable and confident. Solid colours tend to work best, and it's probably a good idea to avoid bold patterns or logos and graphics.

We'll discuss your ideas and work together to find outfits that will photograph best during the pre-shoot consultation.
How long will it take to receive my images? 
Our standard turnaround time is within one week of your photoshoot for individual headshots, but expedited turnaround can be arranged if you have specific requirements.

For Groups and Team sessions, we'll discuss your needs and agree on a timeline that works for your business requirements during our consultation.
Where are you located / do you have a studio / do you travel? 
We're based in the charming village of Richmond in the west end of Ottawa and offer on-location photoshoots in your own office or home for your convenience.

We don't maintain a physical studio at this time, but if you don't have a suitable space in your home or office we work with several in the area and can work with you in the consult to find a spot.

We're happy to travel anywhere in the Ottawa Valley and beyond to work with you, and regularly visit clients in Perth, Almonte, Kingston, Montreal and more.

Drop us a line if you want to work with us and want to see if we can make it to you!
