You’ve been told you need a headshot. That 5 year old one is too dated, or the selfie doesn’t cut the business brand image. You’ve put it off as much as you can, but the business has matured and needs to lift its image. You just have to get it done now.
DIY is out of the question of course. Your last experience with a corporate photographer was horrifying, you’d rather visit a dentist. We know how you feel – we’ve been on that end of that corporate headshot too. That’s why we take a completely different approach to others.
The Executive Images Experience is about you and your brand. Not you standing in my photo, but me learning about and capturing who you are.
The experience is personal and fully guided. This makes it easy and effortless, eliminating stress and anxiety. Our clients’ staff use words such as ‘relaxing’ and ‘enjoyable’ to describe their journey with us.

Read more about each step below.
1. Getting to know you
The most important part of creating effective imagery is getting to know you. You want your branding to be more than “staring blankly into space” photos.
Your headshot and business photographs need to speak to your audience and convey the right message. We talk to you over the phone to learn your brand, audience, and objectives for this photography.
We learn about your position in the market, your competition, your style, and your preferences. By the time you come to your photographic shoot, we know exactly what we need and are ready to go. It’s a relaxed experience, many of our clients mention how enjoyable the whole process is.
2. The Photographic Session
Before our session, we send you tips and info on how to prepare, what to wear, and introduce you to our recommended hair and makeup artists. We answer any questions you have, and you feel confident and relaxed.
Whether you are coming to our studio, or we are coming to your office, the shoot is easy and enjoyable.
We gently guide you and show you how to position yourself to present your best qualities. We coach you on the finer points of facial expression. You see the results as we go and your confidence grows.
Everyone sees and chooses their photographs before we move on. This means no admin and follow up work for you after the session.
For office headshots, we spend on average 10min per person. This gives a relaxed experience for your staff.
Because of our preparation beforehand, the session is relaxed and smooth. In minimal time you get great results.
After headshots, we do other half and full body portraits, and anything else we need.
3. Design Consultation
This is the most exciting part of the experience. We quickly put everything onto the computer after our studio session.
Together we go through the best photographs we’ve captured. We discuss the message each photograph conveys, and how/where they might be used.
We select the ones that will represent your business and brand going forward. Purchase only the photographs you love.
4. Show off your Best
What’s worse than poorly edited photographs that look fake and plastic?
We edit your photographs in several stages, using our Fine Touch editing that shows you at your best, while looking completely natural. Our goal is that you don’t look retouched at all.
Your closest friends and family will simply think you’ve had a fantastic day – and ask what you had for breakfast!
Even for staff headshots, yes we individually edit every.single.one.
Soon, you have amazing photographs that you are proud of and totally connects with your audience. Files are delivered online in large and web ready sizes, ready to use.
Why Us?
Everyone and their 5 year old son can take a headshot. You probably have 2 to 6 cameras right on your phone. Obviously you realise a headshot is not a yes or no thing. It’s not that you have one and that’s done.
It’s about having something that can represent you as your first impression to others. It’s about something to use as part of your personal brand.
Many photographers just show up and put you through the production line. You feel rushed, uncertain. What you end up with are technical photos that miss the human mark. Studio lit with untidy hair, blank expressions, messy clothes.
Each time you see your photo you remember the stress and embarrassment. In the years to come you grow to resent your profile.
Our specialty is dealing with people. Most don’t know how to act in front of a camera. We show you how to pose, and coach you in expression. We help the most camera shy show off their personality in a relaxed and authentic way. We show you as you go, so you actually know you love the photographs before you step off the studio.
Every time you see your portrait, you’re reminded how confident you felt at the shoot – and it gives you energy.
Why Not Us?
We’re not for everyone – there are things we can’t do.
If you don’t want to plan and prepare together, you want someone to just turn up and snap some photos, then we’re not for you. If you want to hire us for an hour and try to squeeze as many headshots as you can into the time, then we’re not for you. There will be others who will fit your needs better.
We want to learn about your business, give you the best ideas on how to use imagery to win customers. You will purchase each photograph because you see it will earn your money back many times over. We can create what we do because of our process to learn about you and your journey. We can’t photograph you if we don’t know what’s important to you.
Pricing
Our headshot session fees start $165, with photographs from $150. We charge you for photographs, not hours, because we don’t believe in wasting time unnecessarily.
We provide a personalised experience, working with you to plan and execute exactly what you need. Our goal is to create imagery that truly represents your business, so you can confidently showcase your brand without time limitations.
With our custom quoting approach, you pay only for the photos you love. You don’t have to risk paying for too much or little time, or that the output doesn’t suit your needs.
This ensures you have complete control over the final selection, allowing you to invest wisely in impactful photographs that best represent your business.
