"Personally I dread having my photo taken and was incredibly nervous... as soon as I walked in the door, I was met by Treia, whose calming and welcoming influence immediately set me at ease.... the photos were about me and not making me into someone else. What can I say about Alise, amazing, wonderful, kind... Highly recommend... You will not be disappointed."

"I spent a wonderful afternoon with Alise and Treia getting some corporate shots done. They were fantastic from the preparatory phone calls through to the delivery of the final shots. They were professional, warm, asked questions and listened to what I was after. One the day I was cared for and relaxed and their expertise really shone through."

Capture your personality in the best light - we make it relaxing, easy and enjoyable!
We appreciate some clients love being photographed and others simply do not. Nervous clients quickly relax in our environment, allowing us to capture your personality in the best light. Friendly, warm, professional and fun headshots help you depict a public profile. Lighting backdrops may be simple and non-dramatic, conveying trust and simplicity.. Or vibrant and textural, giving a pop to the profile!
If you are not sure what you need or how to go about preparing for a photoshoot, we provide you with all the details. Each client is given a pre-styling consultation where we discuss hair and makeup, clothing, colours and photoshoot styles. It's often after this consult that clients start to enjoy the process of creating a professional headshot.
On the day, enjoy learning about professional makeup application for photography and the importance of styling. Relax into your photoshoots as we direct you through the range of positions and poses. You will never be left to awkwardly pose by yourself. Once you have spoken with us and received all the preparation guidance, we are quietly confident you will be ready to create your updated images.
