HOW LONG WILL MY HEADSHOT TAKE?
The Headshot(s) will only take 5 minutes. You will have an additional 5 minutes if you need it to fix your hair or makeup, or for a wardrobe change.
WHAT'S INCLUDED AFTER MY HEADSHOT?
Every session includes professional retouching and full resolution digital file with a full release to use the image wherever you’d like without having to ask for my permission.
WHY DO YOU USE A WHITE BACKDROP?
A white backdrop is most popular for headshots used for websites and social media.
We also allow you time to change, or fix your hair and makeup. Our studio uses advanced lighting, backdrops, camera, and post editing technologies to help ensure picture perfect results.
How do I receive my photo?
At the end of the shoot, we’ll immediately upload all of your proofs into a private, online gallery and email you the link. From there, you can sift through your photos on your own time and pick out your favourite shot. If you like more than one shot, we charge $50 for each additional image you may want to keep. When you find the perfect photo, email us the image number (you’ll see this under each photo) at email@deepinspired.com and we’ll email you a password protected link to download the image(s).
How should I prepare for a great headshot?
To save time please fix your hair, iron your clothes, and do your makeup as you like. We'll give you 5min for a wardrobe change or to fix your hair and/or makeup. We want your image to be perfect. For clothes, we recommend solid colours without logos and patterns.Your attire should reflect your corporate culture and more importantly, reflect you. We also provide a bottle of spring water. This helps moisten the lips to compliment the final picture, especially if your lips tend to get dry.
I really don't like getting my photo taken?
Don’t worry! Generally a great headshot means a no smile, a neutral expression, or slight smile. We can determine the look you're after when we meet. I aim to make this a easy and enjoyable experience for you?

"Life is like a camera. Focus on what’s important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don’t work out, take another shot.” ~Unknown
If you're not happy, neither am I. A good business means satisfied customers. Although I don't give any refunds, I will work with you to reschedule another headshot shoot. You would be required to make that decision for a reshoot within 24 hours after receiving your image.
Reflections
"Your eyes are the path way to your soul" ~Deep
Deep also specializes in the perfect catchlight reflection. What does that mean? Instead of multiple reflections from two studio lamps in each eye, you’ll have only one reflection - that nice sparkle, which will look much more flattering. You’ll notice many headshot studios leave photos with both reflections in each eye.

I do not do group shots, however, I welcome friends to come together if each person wants a headshot. I can do three headshots per hour (20 minutes each).

Why did you choose headshot photography?
My desire for portrait and headshot photography comes from a challenging chapter in my life when I realized how competitive the marketplace is for work, especially when thousands of qualified professionals are competing for the same position.

What are your hours?
I work Monday to Friday from 7-8pm. Why just one hour? I work full-time for the government and love what I do, but I also love photography. Shooting at 7pm allows me enough time to get set up, while giving you enough time to get dinner, and perhaps a new haircut and wardrobe before you come over for your shot.
Who is your target population?
I generally shoot headshots for ages 20-55 (Millennials and Generation X). This range is for students, young adults, and experienced professionals looking to elevate their careers, and for those seeking a new career.
Do you offer refunds?
I offer a quality guarantee instead, which means if you don’t like your images, we’ll set up another appointment, within 30 days to get the shot you desire. If bookings are filled for the next 30 days after our first shoot together, we will look at the following month to find a mutually agreeable time to retake your shoot.
Do I have to fill out a contract?
Yes. A contract is a necessary and important document required before I do my headshots. It is a way to show full transparency to my terms and conditions with our time together, while protecting both of us from any liabilities.
How do I book?
Click booking, read the contract, find the package you love and click submit. That’s it! Booking at Deep Inspired Photography is very user friendly, however, if you have any challenges, you may contact me at 90-789-7427 (PICS) or email@deepinspired.com
How do I download my images?
1) After 7 days of our shoot together, I'll send you a secured link to choose your favourite images from a selection of 5 headshots. This secured link requires a password, which I’ll provide in your email. Depending on your purchase: Package 1, choose 1 image. Package 2, choose 2 images, and Package 3, choose 3 images.
2) Each image has a number underneath it. Email the number(s) of the images you like the most to email@deepinspired.com
After I receive your email, I’ll send you another link by email. This new link allows you to download your favourite images directly to your desktop computer.
It’s too hard to choose my images. I like them all. What should I do?
If you can’t decide on the best image from your gallery then:
I suggest forwarding your secured link and password to friends or family to get their suggestions. Next, send me an email 10 business days from our initial shoot, letting me know you want more pictures with the image number (located below each image). Once I receive notification by email with the numbers of your extra images, I’ll send you a separate link to download those images. Each extra image is $50CAD. You’ll be a sent another link by email for secure payment.
Do you shoot weddings or family portraits?
No. I only shoot headshots.
How long does it take?
In total 15 minutes -- 5 minutes to set up the right pose for you; 5 minutes to shoot, and 5 minutes for miscellaneous factors such as a quick makeup or hair check.
Do you do post production editing?
Yes. I carefully go through every image with a high attention to detail to ensure blemishes, wrinkles, excessive hair, eye fatigue, teeth whitening, and other distracting details are taken care of to give you a quality headshot image.
Can I cancel after I book?
To avoid losing the full cost of your headshot, please cancel 24 hours before your shot by texting me at 902-789-7427 (PICS) or by email@deepinspired.com so I can refund you your money. After 24 hours you’ll be charged the full cost of your headshot.
When do I pay?
Full payment is made during booking.
How do I know if there is a time slot available?
My calendar on my booking page is very intuitive and will show you times and dates available to book.
Where do you shoot?
I shoot within my own studio in Bedford. I will send you specific directions once you book your appointment.
Is there parking?
There is visitor parking to the side of the building labelled Visitor parking. You may also park on the road if the parking lot is full.
What should I wear?
Do not wear anything shiny or with stripes, patterns, logos, or dots. You should wear solid colours. Also, avoid jewelry. We want the focus of the headshot to be on your face.
What else should I consider before getting my headshot?
If you’re lips are dry, I supply water. A few sips will moisten your lips. You may use your own beauty products. If your skin gets oily, I have paper towel so you can blot the oily spots. If you’re very sweaty (could be a hot day outside), I have speciality oil remover wipes you can use.
Do you provide a makeup artist?
No, I do not provide a makeup artist. Please do a Google search or network with friends for a reputable makeup artist if you choose.
Do you print headshots?
No, however, I Costco is a fast, efficient and affordable place to get your headshots printed. Personally, I would suggest Canvas N'Decor. They have more advanced technologies than chain stores.
Do you use my headshots on social media?
It depends. In the contract, I will have exclusive rights to use them on social media or contests if I believe it will help promote Deep Inspired Photography.
Can I post my headshot where ever I want after I download them?
Yes. Your headshots are yours to post where ever you choose such as Instagram, LinkedIn or Facebook. Note, however, you cannot edit the image to misrepresent the original quality from our session together that changes the look of what you downloaded and purchased.
Do you do onsite visits?
No, I only operate within my own studio.
Do you offer specials?
Check my link ‘Specials’ each month. This month I have a student special for $100.
What currency do you charge?
I charge Canadian currency.
Can I pay by e-transfer or in cash?
No. I only accept online orders by credit card. Payment is made at the time of booking.
Do you have discounts for referrals?
If you refer my business to your friends and family, I’ll provide you a 20% discount for your next headshot. To do this, your friend or family member must let me know your name when they book, and they must complete their booking without cancellation.
