Frequently Asked Questions

  • Hero Shots is a portrait and headshot service for actors, creatives, founders, professionals and anyone who wants strong, well-crafted portraits. From clean commercial looks to more expressive images, sessions are tailored to what you actually need.

  • All sessions take place at my studio in North York, at 312 Dolomite Dr. Free parking is available on site. There's also a washroom just down the hall from the studio.

  • Not at all. Full direction is provided throughout every session. Most people are surprised by how relaxed and fun it actually is.

  • Sessions are primarily done in-studio. If you're interested in something on location, reach out and we can talk through options.

  • Not a problem. If you have limited time, everything can be set up in advance so you just show up and get photographed. A handful of excellent headshots can be done in as little as 10 minutes.

  • Retouched finals are delivered within one week of you making your selections. The same turnaround applies to any add-ons.

  • Bring whatever you feel comfortable and confident in. Layered fabrics, knitwear, and structured pieces tend to photograph well. Neutral and pastel tones work nicely, but don't overthink it. If you're not sure whether something works, bring it anyway. We might not shoot everything, but if you don't bring it we can't shoot it.

  • For the 60 Minute Session, 2 to 3 looks is typically plenty. For the Creative Session, most clients bring 5 to 10. There's no hard limit.

  • Absolutely. If you have reference images, a specific look in mind, or direction from your agent, send a message ahead of time and we'll talk it through.

  • Sessions cancelled or rescheduled with more than 24 hours notice can be moved at no charge. Less than 24 hours notice is non-refundable. No-shows forfeit the session entirely. If something comes up, reach out as early as possible and we'll do our best to work something out.
