I specialize in quick and easy corporate headshots, done in about 15 to 20 minutes.
I've been in front of the camera, as well as behind. I understand what it’s like to have a big lens pointed at your face – it can be quite intimidating! And, you probably don't do this often, so I’ll do my best to make you comfortable by getting the shots quickly and I'll never make you feel stiff by holding a pose for a long time!
The fee is $175-$350 for a session and you'll receive a proof gallery and your choice of images for retouching. (Head & shoulders, three-quarter and/or full body shot.)
If you'd like a studio headshot, my associate, Monica, will take care of you. (I'm not taking any studio sessions at the moment, but I am doing team corporate headshots on location.)
If you'd like two different outfits, there is usually time for one wardrobe change. We can do a double session if you'd like more photos and/or more outfit changes.
Yes, additional photos can be purchased for $25 each.
If you have a group of people and would like me to come to your workplace or office, I can come to you! Special locations are considered for 3 people or more.
Clothing choice will depend on the look you are going for. If you want a business headshot, choose dressier clothes than for a casual lifestyle portraits. As for colors, I normally tell people to stay away from tones that look like their own skin color – as I’ve seen photos where people tend to look “naked”. Textures (like knitted sweaters) look great, but avoid large patterns/prints and big logos. It might be worthwhile to consider where this photo will end up… is it going on your website which is mostly blue? Then a blue shirt might match well, for example!
Because we don't need walking time to/from the location, and the lights and everything are all set up exactly how we need them when you arrive. Studio sessions are generally about 10 to 15 minutes. Outdoor sessions are about 15 to 20 minutes (we will walk to and from the meeting point together). That said, I'm not a hard stickler for the exact number of minutes; more important is that we get a photo that you love! If we can do this in a few minutes less time, I consider it a win! If we need a few extra minutes, that's ok too!
Yes! You might want to book the longer session if you want to do an outfit change, but generally even the short headshot session can suffice for acting or modeling headshots.
Yes! Please contact me with the number of people in your group, the location you wish to have your session and I'll provide a quote. 🙂
The minimum number is 3 for a team rate.
Yes! Please see my behind the scenes of editing a headshot for before and after side-by-side images.
When you work with me, I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and relaxed. (It’s not your job to be a professional model!)
We will have fun, and you can totally be yourself. If you need a little direction because you don’t know what to do, I’ll offer posing suggestions, or give you something to do so you can focus on a task instead of the camera.

EXCELLENT Based on 83 reviews Posted on alex IstrateNovember 30, 2023. Great photos!! Love her workPosted on Mollie MillerNovember 29, 2023. Not only are our photos incredible but Naomi is amazing. We reached out to her when the weather prevented us from getting the pics we wanted on our wedding day and decided to try to find a photog on our honeymoon. We are from Texas and honeymooning in Canada. Naomi was so incredibly helpful listening to our vision and researched finding the perfect location. She was professional and helpful in finding the best shots and letting us just create our own vibe. Would 10/10 recommend and would not hesitate to use her services again should we find ourselves in Victoria again. Thank you so much Naomi!!Posted on CaitlynNovember 25, 2023. Naomi was extremely wonderful to work with! We have a 10.5 month old and had no big expectations for how our photos would turn out (not easy to get her to cooperate for a photo). Naomi and her mom (?) were so accommodating at trying to help and distract her to get some nice photos. She even offered to take some individual photos of our daughter as well, really focusing on trying to get her to smile and look at the camera. We were so happy with how the photos turned out, it was hard to determine which ones we liked the most. Very quick and easy to communicate with, would definitely recommend!Posted on Annie CraigNovember 25, 2023. We have had our Christmas photos taken by Naomi for the past three years and they have always turned out fabulous! She works with you to make sure you are getting what you want and is also very prompt in returning emails and getting your photos to you quickly. She is also VERY patient and sweet with young children :). 100% would recommend.Posted on Raman HariNovember 7, 2023. My outdoor headshot session with Naomi was fantastic. It was quick and she made me feel super comfortable. I needed the pictures 3 days after our photoshoot, and she got them back to me even quicker than that. Loved the end result!Posted on Susan YoungOctober 31, 2023. Working with Naomi was a great experience. She was prompt, professional, and took great pictures with a reluctant subject! I highly recommend her.Posted on Colin GrovesSeptember 18, 2023. Naomi was so professional, organized, and responsive from the first email until after our wedding, and the photos we got from the day are absolutely stunning. She really is an extremely gifted photographer and the quality of her shots was exceptional. Naomi had so many great suggestions to take advantage of the lighting and surroundings of our venue, was quick to adapt to changes in our fast-paced day, and the candid shots of our guests and were captured beautifully. 10/10!Posted on Kirk ClyneAugust 28, 2023. Naomi did a fantastic job with our wedding ceremony photographs. We told her we wanted candid shots only, with natural and intimate moments and she really delivered exactly the kind of thing we were looking for. She really captured the energy of the day, and almost every one of her shots is pretty great. We never noticed her during the ceremony, and yet it's clear she moved around constantly, getting things from different angles and distances. She did talk us into taking a few posed photos, of us, us and our families, and even a big group shot, and we're so glad she did. Those came out lively too and provide a nice record of the day. I can't recommend her enough.Posted on Esther HackAugust 27, 2023. Naomi was awesome! I am grateful that my husband found Naomi to be our wedding photographer. We are blessed to have had such a kind, sweet, and professional wedding photographer. Our wedding pictures turned out excellent. I would say 100/100 or 100 stars to Naomi. Thank you Naomi! Tin & I will recommend you to our family and friends. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Posted on Alison LoveJune 28, 2023. We needed headshots for several people and needed them stat! Naomi was able to fit us in quickly and had the edited photos in our hands within a couple days. Not only was she super efficient, but the photos turned out perfectly and captured the spirit of each individual and the group. Big thanks to Naomi for her professionalism and for making this process so fun and easy for us. Highly recommend her if you need photos done for any occasion!
