YOU ARE PHOTOGENIC
No, really. You are!
We originally founded City Headshots in 2009 on the premise that everyone can look great on camera. Customized lighting and angles combined with a genuine expression can bring out the best and truest you. What we like to call, "You on your best day."
Eventually, we started to focus on the fact that a headshot is not just about flattering angles, great cheekbones, strong jawlines, and a great expression. A headshot is really about inner emotion. It's about true confidence in your own skin, owning who you are, and being proud to show it to the world. And many people don't have that. We are always our own worst critic.
So that is our new mission with City Headshots. To help everyone who comes through our studios not only walk away with an awesome headshot, but learn something new and gain confidence in their appearance. If you choose to work with us, we promise you'll learn not only what angles and expressions work best for you on camera and why, but you'll gain a new level of appreciation for your personal appearance so that next time, no matter who takes your headshots, you'll love your photos.

Our promises:
- You'll love your photos. The number one priority is making sure you have a positive and memorable experience and leave with a set of photos you're proud to call your headshots. If you're not happy and we can't fix it, we promise to refund you everything you paid (including the makeup fee). Why pay for something you can't use?
- You'll learn something about yourself. Whether it's why one side of your face looks better than another, or why you subconsciously have always smiled with your mouth closed, you'll definitely find out something new.
- You'll get your photos the same day. Some photographers say it takes them a few weeks to send your photos over. We believe there's no excuse with the high-speed internet and broadband connections we now have.
- You'll laugh and have fun. We're all funny... or at least we'll pretend to be! Sure... you probably don't like having your picture taken... but as soon as you start laughing, you'll relax on camera and begin enjoying the process!
- You can have fresh brewed coffee. We grind fresh coffee beans and make delicious coffee. So skip Starbucks and have a medium or dark roast while you're here!
- You'll get to see the pictures as we shoot. Why? So we can make sure you're happy with the images. The more picky you are, the more we can do to ensure you'll love your pictures.
- We will guide you. Because we've collectively had the opportunity to shoot over 25,000 people in all different walks of life, we can help you choose the best backdrop and lighting setup tailored to your industry or character type (if you're an actor). We'll also completely direct you to capture the perfect expression.
