Headshots & Branding Photography — Ottawa & Gatineau

The photo that opens doors
before you say a word.

For entrepreneurs, professionals, and creatives who are done with ordinary — and ready for an image that works as hard as they do.

What I do

Images built around
who you actually are.


Most headshots look like headshots. Stiff, generic, forgettable. That's not what I make.

Every session starts with a conversation — about your work, your audience, and the impression you want to make. Then we build something around that. Bold, cinematic, human. An image that doesn't just represent you, but works for you.

I've spent 17 years helping entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals step in front of the camera and walk away with something they're genuinely proud to put on their website, their LinkedIn, their booking page.

Why it works

What makes every
session different.


01 —

It starts with a conversation, not a camera

Before anything is shot, we talk. About your work, your audience, the impression you want to make. That conversation is where the image actually begins — and it's what separates something that works from something that's just technically fine.

02 —

Tailored for creatives and professionals alike

Whether you're an actor who needs range, an entrepreneur who needs gravitas, or an artist who needs something that reflects the work — the approach adapts. Nothing off-the-shelf. Nothing you've seen on someone else's LinkedIn.

03 —

You'll feel more comfortable than you expect

Most people arrive a little nervous. They leave with images they're genuinely proud of. The directing, the pacing, the conversation throughout — all of it is designed to get you out of your head and into something real.

04 —

17 years. Award-winning. Still curious.

New York Photography Awards. PX3 Gold Prize Paris. City of Ottawa Permanent Collection. The experience shows — not in a polished, corporate way, but in knowing exactly when to push and when to wait for something real.

Photographing a team?

Custom packages for groups, brands & ongoing work.

If you're bringing in multiple people, building out a brand shoot, or need something that doesn't quite fit the packages above — I put together custom coverage for exactly that. Whether it's three headshots or a full team of twenty, reach out and we'll build something that works. Get in touch →

On location or in-studio?

I work primarily on location across Ottawa and Gatineau — urban settings, architectural spaces, natural light environments. I also work with several studio spaces in Ottawa, each with their own character. Studio rental fees typically range from $100–$180 and are always confirmed in advance — never a surprise on your invoice. We'll decide what fits your goals and aesthetic during your consultation.

All sessions include a royalty-free license for personal and commercial use. No credit required, though always appreciated.  ·  Travel fees apply for sessions more than 80km from my location.
