Frequently Asked Vancouver Headshot Photography Questions:
Q: How much does your photography cost?
A: How much does your photography cost? is the number one question Rob receives. The standard 3 headshot session prices are listed above, but As Rob’s photography is custom-tailored to his individual client needs. Contact Rob with specific details about your photography needs and he is more than happy to give you a custom quote for your photography needs. The more details you have about your photography needs will help rob provide an accurate quote.
For corporate staff headshots, please contact Rob and let him know the following:
- How many people need to be photographed?
- Do you want group photos and how many?
- Do you want any editorial-style photos of specific people like executives and CEOs?
- Do you need any lifestyle images of people working in the workplace?
- When do you want to book the headshot session?
- What colour background would you prefer for the headshots?
- Please let Rob know about any other details you may have.
Q: How many wardrobe changes do I get in a session?
A: Rob doesn’t have a set limit to wardrobe changes; he wants you to be able to feel as comfortable and confident as possible. If you aren’t sure what will look best, bring all of your options with you! Rob will personally help you choose what wardrobe will come through best in the photos. With that said, more time spent changing wardrobe means less time spent shooting and fewer photos as a result. If you are receiving a LinkedIn headshot Photography Session, we have limited time for wardrobe changes. If you specifically want multiple wardrobe changes, please communicate that with Rob so he can book you in for the correct photography session that suits your needs.

Q: How many background changes do I get in a session?
A: Just like with wardrobes, Rob doesn’t set a limit to background changes. Similarly to wardrobe, more changes result in less time in front of the camera. With that said, the background can help set the tone of the photo and Rob has a keen eye and intuition for what works and what doesn’t, allowing for the bulk of your time to be spent shooting.
Q: Will you shoot on location?
A: Yes! Rob loves incorporating your vision into the photo shoot to allow even more of your personality to shine through. Just contact him beforehand so that he can know more about your photography needs. Since each location is different and may require different gear and increased travel time, there may be an increase in the session cost.
On-Location vs. Studio Headshots
Q: Is there a deposit?
A: Yes, the deposit is 50% of the session rate (which you can find below). The deposit is required in order to book the date, makeup artist, and studio. Rob accepts payment in the form of cash, check, or e-transfer.
