We are officially Edmonton's headshot photographer

...or at least we feel like we are! We have been shooting head shots for corporate clients and teams for over a DECADE now...almost TWO DECADES (yes, we're older and wiser!) What we pride ourselves in is our ability to come to you and photograph your entire team- whether that means 2-200 people on staff we have you covered! In fact, the MORE staff or larger the team size the best bang for buck per person as we charge hourly. You need a photographer that can organize a team of people. You need a photographer that can get everyone relaxed. Confidence in front of the camera is neccessary. We are told that one of our best qualities is our ability to get things done efficiently while still maintaining a relaxed air about us that allows your team to relax. Dare we even go so far as to say *GASP* have fun! If your team isn't comfortable in front of the camera it often shows. It takes years of experience and a relaxed sometimes "chatty" photographer to make everyone loosen up.

Some pointers for the day?

Wear what you are comfortable in but make sure it has form and shape. It gets easy to lose yourself behind flowing dresses and excess material. Beware that photos become too busy and quickly outdate themselves the more makeup, jewelry or trendier the outfit. Use matte makeup to even skin tone. While it's encouraged that you dress similarly to how you dress everyday there IS something to be said for casual "smart" attire. Wear clothes that slightly hug and make sure you are neat and presentable without being too stiff.
Rarely will bare arms translate well in a photo so be sure to bring a jacket/blazer if you want to try a sleeveless number. If fair skinned stay away from reds and pinks (sometimes it can pull the pink undertones from your face and you can end up looking entirely too rosy.) Gem tones are always striking...Emerald, Sapphire, etc. Black and white are still staples and easy to pull off.
Remember to smile- it's not too bad. Fake it until you find yourself actually having a good time because we promise you, at some point, you WILL have fun while groaning with your colleagues. Besides, it's a break from every day work- that's a definite bonus!
