Professional portraits
whether highlighting you or showcasing your work,are essential for promotion and marketing in 2025.
I don't take that statement lightly.
However, when you're just starting your venture, the typical cost of professional photography and the pressure of getting it right during the session can push this investment out of reach.
The usual photography experience adds unnecessary stress
You encounter session fees structured by time blocks: full-day, half-day, half-hour. How can you relax enough for authentic photos in just thirty minutes, even though that's the most affordable option? Then you see the additions: extra for extended time, extra for additional photos, extra for quality edits, extra for travel, extra for usage rights. Extra, extra, extra. Your heart sinks because you know the costs will keep climbing. But you still need quality images.
You ask yourself:
why does this have to be so complicated?
There has to be a better way
What if a photographer would simply listen to your goals, understand exactly which images you need and why they matter to you, then create a custom project package based on those needs? Everything included, no surprise costs, one negotiated price within your budget. You know exactly what you'll pay and what you'll receive. Simple.
Let's address the elephant in the room
You may feel shy in front of a smartphone camera (who isn't?). The thought of facing a professional photographer with expensive gear, studio lights, and technical equipment? Forget it—you'd freeze. And remember, you have to nail it in that half-hour window, or pay extra.
But for a portrait, why not simply start one on one with the photographer and their camera. A photographer who knows natural lighting and composition, without the production and pressure, and let things happen naturally. This website is filled with images like this. It can be done (you’re looking at one now).
But here's what you should also know
Quality portrait photography serves countless purposes beyond traditional business needs.
You might be a higher education student applying to law school, needing images that represent the professional you're becoming—photos you'd proudly use for your LinkedIn, social media, or correspondence throughout your academic journey.
Perhaps you're an artist, author, or singer-songwriter requiring compelling images to attract attention, book your next gig, include in thank-you notes at your first book signing, or display as a backdrop at your favourite art fair.
You might need professional photos for dating apps—quite possibly the most important self-promotion you'll experience.
The common thread?
You value professional-level portraiture and understand the significant impact these images can have on your project or venture. You know this isn't a job for a friend with a fancy iPhone. You want a photographer who will take time to listen and has experience putting clients at ease to create the images you need.
If this resonates with you, you're in the right place.
