Barrie Headshot Photographer – Professional Portraits
If you live or work in Barrie, Ontario, you know how important it is to make a strong first impression, whether it’s on LinkedIn, your company website, business cards, or in client presentations. A professional headshot is more than just a picture; it’s your personal brand captured in a single image.
As a photographer specializing in professional headshots and portraits, I regularly serve clients in Barrie, offering both on-location sessions and studio options.
Why Headshots Matter in Barrie
Barrie is a growing city, home to a diverse professional community that includes financial advisors, real estate agents, small business owners, medical professionals, and Georgian College graduates entering the workforce. In such a competitive market, your headshot is often the first introduction to potential clients, employers, and collaborators. A cellphone selfie just doesn’t measure up to a portrait that communicates confidence, approachability, and professionalism.
That’s where I come in. With years of experience photographing professionals across Ontario, I help people in Barrie create headshots that feel authentic, polished, and perfectly suited to their industry.
On-Location Headshots in Barrie
One of the most convenient options I offer is on-location headshot photography in Barrie. I frequently work with clients in their offices, co-working spaces, and business settings, which means you don’t have to travel far to get the professional results you want.
Studio Sessions Just North of Barrie
If you’d prefer a studio environment, you can schedule a professional headshot session at my studio in Parry Sound, just over an hour north of Barrie. Many Barrie clients make the short drive because they value the controlled lighting, quiet setting, and variety of backdrops available in the studio. Whether in Barrie or Parry Sound, the goal is the same: creating a headshot that truly represents you.
What You Can Expect
When you book a session with me, the experience is relaxed, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. Most people tell me they feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, my job is to change that. I’ll guide you with easy, natural posing, and I’ll capture expressions that show your personality at its best.
A polished headshot can set you apart.

Fun fact about Barrie, Ontario
Did you know that Barrie was named in 1833 after Sir Robert Barrie, who commanded the naval forces in Canada? The city also became a final stop on the Underground Railroad, offering freedom and new beginnings to many in the mid-19th century.
That rich history of resilience and opportunity is part of what gives Barrie its character today and it’s one of the reasons I enjoy working with local professionals here.
Whether I’m photographing headshots downtown, by the Barrie waterfront, or in offices across the city, I love capturing portraits that reflect both the personality of the individual and the spirit of this vibrant community.
