Boss Shots

Not your average headshots!

Here at SUBSTANCE, we wanted to create a headshot session where your mind doesn’t instantly go to the classic, cheesy headshots of days past.

Our goal is to transform the way people think of the word “headshot” and instead of cringing, they get excited about the possibility of capturing their authentic selves. 

This 30-minute session includes up to 2 wardrobe changes and multiple background options so that you have some variety in your images and to ensure that you have the perfect headshot for any occasion.

During the session, we want to capture your personality through different poses and lifestyle-type images.

If you’re thinking “Oh, but I’m so awkward in front of the camera” - not to worry, we will guide you through and make you feel as comfortable as possible!

What Should I Expect?

The first step is to book, by clicking the book button on this page, or contact us through email. Then we enter the following process.

Step 1 /// Consult - Initial consultation call after booking.

After booking we set up a consultation call to get a sense of what you are looking to capture in the session. We also want to answer any questions so the day of the shoot runs smoothly.

Step 2 /// Location 

Once we have a date chosen we will work with you to determine the best the location for your shoot. Depending on the time of year there may be lots of free outdoor locations available. Or we can book one of the many amazing studios Calgary has to offer, however please note that studio rental fees are not included in our pricing and will be quoted at time of booking. 

Step 3 /// Wardrobe 

We recommend having 2 - 3 wardrobe options available at the shoot. Maybe one outfit is more casual or colourful or shows your personality a bit more. For some wardrobe, Inspo check out this Pintrest page.

Step 4 /// Aesthetics 

Please note that this is NOT a required step, but we want you to want to feel your best so that your confidence shines through in the images. You may want to consider getting your make up and/or hair done for the shoot if that will give you one less thing to worry about. 

Step 5 /// The Shoot - This 30-minute session includes up to 2 wardrobe changes and multiple background options so that you have some variety in your images and to ensure that you have the perfect headshot for any occasion.

Step 6 /// Post Production

After the shoot, it will take 2 - 3 weeks for us to deliver your images which will be sent via Dropbox. You will receive 25+ edited images provided in web-ready files. Our editing includes light photoshopping to enhance the images based on our professional opinion as well as the removal of anything that takes away from the photo. Additional photoshop requests may be subject to additional fees. 

Location - Just a note about location. We have lots of great suggestions if you are looking for something specific as we have done a ton of location shoots around the city of Calgary. If you have a spot we also recommend considering a few things like natural light, how the different shots will take place,
