Headshot Photo Studios in Halifax

Joe was absolutely amazing! I got my graduation photos done here recently, and he was so welcoming and kind! He even allowed me to bring the most important thing in my life (my dog!!!) and get my grad photos taken with her.

I cannot recommend Moments in Time highly enough! Not only did they capture beautiful graduation photos of my daughter, but they also made sure to include our beloved dog in some of the shots. The final images exceeded our expectations, and we are grateful to have such cherished memories preserved so beautifully. Their professionalism and talent truly shone through the entire process, and we cannot thank them enough for their incredible work. Highly, highly recommend!

Joe's kindness, passion, and skill make sessions easy and enjoyable. The quality of his photos are unmatched. Highly recommend to everyone.

Moments in Time Photography went above and beyond my expectations! I absolutely loved how my graduation photos turned out. It is not hard to tell that photography is Joesph’s passion, he is extremely knowledgeable, professional, & kind. I had such a great experience! Highly recommend!

Lovely experience, Joe is very kind and makes the session very comfortable! Great seeing the photos be edited in front of you. He clearly puts effort into creating the best photo outcome possible!

I had my headshots taken by Applehead Studio in June 2023. Liam the photographer was awesome and extremely friendly and professional. The appointment was also extremely efficient.

The processing time was also incredibly quick (Thank you Steph!). Within 24 hours I had my photos taken, preferred photo selected, and an edited, high-quality file downloaded on my computer ready to use.

I highly recommend Applehead Studio for all your Photography needs!

Liam and his team are a DREAM!
Getting headshots can be awkward and uncomfortable, for most it isn’t something we do that often. Liams positive energy is contagious! Which helped me feel comfortable & relaxed, resulting in some pretty awesome photos ;)
He gives great direction and has helped me achieve my vision every, single, time.
These folks are my #1

If you are looking for the best in the business, stop right here! Applehead did my wedding, my sisters wedding and my professional headshots for real estate. Repeat business tells all, and I am a devoted customer, I will never go anywhere else. I get so many compliments on their work, and miraculously they have ALWAYS made me feel SO comfortable in front of their cameras. I emphatically recommend this business without any hesitation, hands down, they are THE. BEST. IN. THE. BUSINESS.

When we decided to get married in a hot air balloon, our wedding planner gave us a choice of photographers, but I knew Applehead's reputation well enough that it wasn't even a question.

Liam, Steph, Ash & Rich made our wedding so much more magical that I ever would have dreamed.

We are not typically comfortable in front of a camera. Good news for us, that didn't seem to matter! We probably spent a total of 5 minutes posing for photos - everything else was candid and perfectly captured the joy of the day. Our photos are a perfect mix of solo shots (we eloped) with enough pictures of the rest of the gang that we'll remember every detail of that day!

Getting our photos back (quickly!) was like a trip down memory lane. They captured the tiniest details that we didn't even remember from the day.

Our wedding video is so dreamy and the perfect way to show our families and friends who weren't in attendance what the day was really like.

They're incredibly flexible. They had no problem being on call for a 3pm go/no-go decision, and then seemed happy to chase our balloon all over the Valley as we floated along!

Plus, when you consider that they were our only wedding guests, we can't think of anyone more fun to spend an evening with! These people are the definition of badass.

I cannot recommend Applehead Studio often enough. Steph and Liam's passion for photography was beyond what we expected. We always wanted to work with them - from their fun and cheeky shots to the rip-your-heart-out-deep-love moments, they seemed to always have the perfect photos. They captured all of these and more at our wedding. Even when we had family concerns, and weird hotel rooms, Liam and Steph kept cool, professional, and above all, kind. Thank you for giving us the moments that we cherish of family members near, far, and no longer with us. We would not have changed a thing (well, maybe been better hosts/clients to you!)

Sinead was our wedding photographer and we could not have dreamed of a better experience. She captured every tiny detail of the day so beautifully. We loved how we got a perfect mix of laid back, candid pictures and more formal poses, and with a ton of different back drops so we had a huge variety of moods and feels in our gallery. Sinead is also incredibly fun, kind and thoughtful and made us and our families so comfortable during the day! You will not find a better photographer, we couldn’t have asked for more.

Best experience ever! Sinead is truly the best. She is kind, organized, listens, and has an incredible attention to detail. We had her for our wedding and engagement shoot and we are over the moon with how well it went. Even with proofs we know that our photos are more than we could ever have dreamed of. Thanks again Sinead! Would recommend her to anyone.

My experience with Sinead Dubeau Photography was absolutely amazing!!
I hired Sinead to do a branding shoot for my business. I am completely awkward in front of a camera and this was my first time doing branding photos, knowing only that these photos had to capture “me”…whatever that meant! So when shoot day came I was very nervous to say the least!! Sinead quickly put me at ease with her kind, friendly demeanor and her beautiful confidence in her photography skills. I enjoyed every minute of the experience, the photos are stunning and capture “me” perfectly!!! I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you again Sinead you’re one of a kind!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our wedding day! From our first phone call with Sinead, we could tell she was the right choice. She gave us absolutely stunning photos and we are so grateful to have these memories! The added bonus was how fun and approachable she was throughout the entire process. She made us feel completely at ease and we knew our special day was in good hands. Thank you, Sinead! ❤️

Don’t wait, book the photoshoot.

I’ve spent years putting off getting my professional branding photos taken, wanting the perfect outfit, the perfect body, the perfect setting. I’d always figured I’d get around to it *someday*

I’ve been fortunate to work alongside Sinead for several weddings and have long admired her incredible work. My most favourite photos of my hair & makeup work on brides and clients are all photographed by Sinead.
I’ve been even more fortunate to get to know Sinead on a personal level. She is truly a wonderful person and so much fun to be around!

When I saw an Instagram post from one of Sinead’s branding sessions with another wedding vendor, I knew instantly it was time to book one for myself and I knew it had to be with Sinead.

I was positive I’d be nervous, I was sure I would feel or look silly in the photos.
So I was kind of shocked arriving to our shoot location feeling completely comfortable and at ease - Sinead has a way of making her clients feel cool, calm and collected! We had the best time, it felt completely natural and I honestly felt GREAT!

Today Sinead sent me an email with some sneak peaks. I thought for sure there would be one winner, one shot worthy of posting on Instagram and including on my website. I LOVE THEM ALL. So much so that I’m not even sure which one I love best.

Sinead is hands down one of the most talented, skilled & professional photographers I’ve ever worked with - both behind and in front of the camera! I’ve always recommended Sinead & shouted my praises from the rooftops, and now that I have had the experience of hiring her myself, I need a megaphone to shout even louder: SINEAD IS SO INCREDIBLE AT WHAT SHE DOES!

TLDR; I promise you Sinead is capable of making you feel beautiful, incredible and effortlessly cool. She is so wildly talented, and you will have THE BEST time! 1000/10 recommend!

MO is amazing ! It was really nice to work with him! We had our wedding recently so he was our photographer , he did a great job ! I enjoyed every photo ! Thank you!

Mohammad took some headshots for me for work purposes and LinkedIn. He was very responsive, flexible, and professional. He has a great eye for photography. I was very happy with the results! Mohammad sent the link for my photos on the same day, and had my selected (edited) photos to me by the next day!

I was extremely happy with the photoshoot experience with Mohammad. He was extremely knowledgeable about what it should be done, very professional, and made the session lots of fun.

The rate was very reasonable. I got a wide variation of professional photos. I recommend Mosy Photography to everyone who wants their professional photos taken in a seamless way.

Mosy has an excellent eye for detail and composition. He is able to capture stunning images that highlighted variety of different moods and tones with his work - Keep growing ✨

We got a family shoot from Mohammad (Mo), it was really nice working with him. He is very accommodating, humble, funny, and engaging. He was on time. His editing skills are really good too. I would highly recommend him.

Jeff and Jenn - where do we begin? You two are so much fun to work with and made everyone feel so relaxed on our wedding day. You both have insanely creative visions that may feel strange at first but the photos turn out stunning each and every time! Your work is so beautiful - we are blown away by our photos. The colors in your photos are so rich and real and accurately take us back to our wedding day when we look at them over and over again. Everyone at our wedding raved about how fun, caring and patient you were. We cannot recommend you both enough!

Wow headshots with Jeff was such a fun experience! I cannot recommend him enough. He effortlessly made me feel comfortable in front of the camera and you could tell he was immersed in his craft. The final images are amazing and something I will cherish. Thank you, Jeff! You are a master of light and composition!

Our experience with Jenn Nauss and Jeff Cooke was a highlight of our wedding day. Not only were our photos beyond gorgeous and so meaningful in every way- they both captured the day so well, they were a joy to work with, a pleasure to hang out with and just 'got' our vibe almost like they were guests who would've been invited to the wedding anyways! ;) In addition to amazing shots of us on our special day, we are particularly grateful for all of the amazing shots of our guests. It’s like we are watching a documentary of the day in stills. I was always drawn to their style of photography but now I’m even more sure that this was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Highly highly recommend booking Jeff Cooke and Jenn Nauss.

We are so happy with our wedding photos by Cooked Photography. Seriously, we can’t say enough good things about Jeff. He’s extremely talented and professional. He knows exactly what he’s doing and the photos were worth every penny! He rolled with the punches when the pandemic caused us to change the wedding date, and again when COVID continued to mess with plans. He never missed a beat and delivered with photos that brought us to tears. We got everything we wanted and more! Jeff feels like part of the family and I know after running into other clients of his that we are not the only ones who felt that way. We highly recommend Cooked Photography!!!

Jeff & Jenn were THE perfect wedding photographers and make an incredible team. Everything was easy from start to finish, and the final catalogue was jaw dropping when we could reimagine our special day. Thanks so much Cooked Photography!

James was professional from moment one. He was more than prepared for the photo session, and had so many different options for the background, and had a lot of different lenses to capture the correct light, and look, making not only me feel comfortable, but feeling more confident in not just myself, but as an actor wanting to make myself more accessible to future Productions.
This showcases HIS confidence in his work, his eye, and his ability in making his client feel confident too. I hope to work with James again and hope that many others get this opportunity so that they may feel the same way I did and do now going forward.

If someone is looking for a photographer in Halifax, I want to scream the name from the rooftops: JAMES MACLEAN!!!

James did a podcast photoshoot for me and made my vision come to life, which not only helped set the tone for my branding, but he also gave me my FAVOURITE photos of myself EVER.

The whole experience was a blast, from our initial conversation nailing down the creative execution (which involved a lot of glitter haha), to the spontaneous improvising he did to get the best photos possible—including an unexpected wardrobe change. He also made me feel extremely comfortable, at ease and not at all rushed during the shoot. His patience, enthusiasm, and attention to detail are unmatched!

Book James if you want to have your authentic self shine through in the form of beautiful and unique photos!

Zuppa has hired James 4 times over the past 3 years for team pics, rehearsal and theatre show shots! He's great, pictures are wonderful, all round a solid human!

If you’re looking for a photographer, James is your person! I am overjoyed by the photos and overall experience. James is an immensely talented photographer and put me at ease in front of the camera. I highly recommend you work with James for upcoming photoshoots, headshots, events. Whatever the occasion! Thanks for everything, James! You are awesome.

Despite having a career that frequently requires me to have my photo taken professionally, & I despise photo shoots/the process. James not only took the best professional pictures I've ever had, but made me feel unbelievably at ease. He was able to capture me in a way that no other pro had before him, and I had multiple favourites from the shoot.

I've sent many clients to James for professional headshots, and have consistently been thrilled with the results.

Kind, creative, funny, empathetic, and understanding - I would recommend James for any photography project you can think of.

Jay can make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. He not only positions you so you look your very best, but he tells the best (worst?) dad jokes to put you at ease and brighten your smile. I highly recommend going to Jay for your business headshots!

Jay took exquisite care with my head shot photos. He took the time to work with me to make sure my photos reflected my personality and the brand of my business. Plus, the photo shoot process was easy and fun!

WOW!! I couldn’t be happier with my new headshot! 2023 will be huge for me, for our business and for our family. And working with Jay on my new headshot made totally the difference! Excellent Jay, thank you so much for all your amazing work! Cheers Murilo Torres

Working in Financial Services I wanted to make sure that I had a headshot that truly represented my personality as it can be an awkward subject for many. I was so happy to be able to have a good conversation with Jay and explain to him my previous experience with headshots and how intimidating people look in theirs.

Jay coached me through the whole process and has an extremely unique approach to taking pictures! His own acting experience allows him to understand how difficult it can be to be behind a camera sometimes but the coaching really helped me get comfortable and get multiple great shots!

His studio is also very well set up, the reception has multiple coffee and treat options, he has access to make up artists and I was involved in each step of the process so there was no surprises.

I highly recommend Jay for any of your needs may it be individual, for your team, an event etc.

What an amazing and FUN experience getting headshots with Jay was! Easily coaching and laughing me through it all. And I'm beyond thrilled with the variety of high quality professional AND authentic images. The BEST photography experience EVER! 👍👍

This is long overdue. I have been planning to write a review for a while now, but life got busy and I am finally able to take a moment. I just want to say, this duo exceeded my every expectation. I have, and will continue to recommend them for all occasions - even my wedding party couldn’t say enough good things! Daniel and Hoda know how to capture candid moments beautifully and come prepared to tell the corniest jokes that will make anyone crack a smile. Our engagement and wedding photos are magical; I can’t wait to get prints for our newly renovated house!

Daniel and Hoda are such great, down to earth people. They made even our most awkward moments into a masterpiece. You will not regret booking them.

Ps. Thank you for the wedding video tribute. It truly meant the world to us and brings so much nostalgia.

We came across Monarch Hill on LivingSocial when we were on a recent trip to Nova Scotia and I would have happily paid five times the price. We were honored to have Daniel and Hoda capture photos for our baby announcement. They really went above and beyond and were thoughtful in planning a shoot and location that fit well with our personalities. We loved working with them--they are a kind and talented team! I highly recommend them if you're looking for the perfect way to capture a special moment in your life. Their work speaks for itself.

Working with Monarch Hill Photography was such a pleasure and they helped to make my portraits and wedding day significantly less stressful. In our initial meeting, they said they were like photo ninjas and would get pics without getting in the way and that is exactly what they did. I have been to some weddings where the photographers seem to interrupt the flow of things and also provide very canned pics. Daniel and Hoda are a great team to work with and were able to deliver great, memorable, and genuine moment pics.
We highly recommend them for your next event.

I can not express how thankful I was for Daniel and Hoda! They captured true and beautiful moments for our wedding! They worked so hard to make sure we got all the shots we wanted and worked closely with us to make sure everything was perfect. We were very comfortable working with them. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!

We really enjoyed having Daniel and Hoda as our wedding photographers. They did an excellent job capturing our special day and sharing in our joy! We immediately felt very comfortable with the couple as they are very easy going and work great together as a team. I felt like they were very accommodating to our wants and needs, as well as great at offering suggestions and examples where we were clueless. I think anyone who works with Daniel and Hoda sees that they truly care about each couple they work with, and that they do their absolute best to capture each unique love story.

Emily was so kind, accommodating, professional and talented. My daughter's desired talent headshots were perfectly captured. We cannot wait to work with Emily again.

Our daughter had a great time with Emily during her photo shoot, and some beautiful moments were captured. Her kind personality put our daughter at ease. We look forward to using Emily again in the future!

My only problem with Emily's photographs is that they are so good, we have an annual problem picking the ones we want....so many to choose from! Pulls out the best in her subjects, excellent framing, and beautifully edited. Worth every penny.

We were lucky enough to have MJ Photography do our daughter's headshots. Emily was so personable and quickly put our daughter at ease, which enabled us to get some really excellent shots. A compelling and professional headshot is essential; we got that in spades.

The website was easy to navigate and helped when choosing the photos we would select.

At all points of contact, it was a great experience; I highly recommend it.

Emily created a fun and relaxed atmosphere for our session and I had a wonderful experience. The photos turned out great and there were so many to choose from - I loved that our session was outside! Emily responded promptly and thoroughly to all of my questions! Not to mention, her website makes reviewing & selecting photos a breeze. I would not hesitate in recommending Emily.

Working with Tanya was everything we could have asked for and more! Planning a wedding from away we didn't meet until the day of so we needed someone to go with the flow and not be focused on a checklist. Her spirit and enthusiasm were very welcoming and felt as if we had known her for years.
The photo collection was beyond our expectations and the amount of compliments, inquiries and praise come as no surprise. Tanya was very open to the different locations with an amazing eye for the little moments. She handled our large wedding party and large families with ease and captured the most amazing sunset to finish the night.

Working with Tanya for my engagement and wedding photos was an absolute dream. Tanya is exactly who you want by your side on the day of your wedding-- calm, full of joy, and out to capture every important moment. As an out of area bride planning a wedding remotely, I couldn't have asked for a better or more accommodating vendor. I'm so grateful we chose to work with Tanya as those memories will truly last forever. I happily recommend her again and again!

Tanya shot our wedding for us, and we couldn't have been happier with the result. It was a small wedding and we only had her for two hours, but she was really thoughtful about how to maximize her time with us. The pictures turned out stunning! My husband and I don't normally like our pictures taken but she totally put us at ease and got some really lovely shots of us. She was absolutely the best money we spent on our wedding.

Tanya was such a joy to work with! Our pictures turned out stunning! She was professional, fun and made us feel completely at ease. She captured so many beautiful moments that we will cherish for a lifetime! I'm so grateful we chose to work with Tanya! I'd happily recommend her :)

Tanya was amazing and great to work with! We couldn't have been happier with our photos and we have the most beautiful memories of our special day thanks to Tanya. Despite the heavy downpours, we even managed to get some great photos outside. Would highly recommend.
