I recently had the pleasure of getting new headshots done by Jack. The entire experience was easy, relaxing and fun. I have a serious fear of the camera, and I always feel like I look terrible in photos. Jack did an amazing job putting me at ease and taking beautiful photographs. I will absolutely use North Van Headshots in the future and I would highly recommend Jack to anyone interested in his service.

Etah G.

By far the best experience with a photographer to date. Jack is super personable and VERY talented at his craft, a true professional in his field. Jack made sure I was comfortable and enjoying the experience. He was instantly able to put me at ease, and capture some great photographs. I simply cannot recommend him enough. Thank you!

Sylvia S.

Jack is kind, professional, and an expert at his craft. My sister and I went in for headshots last week and the end results were stunning. He made us feel comfortable and most importantly, confident. He took his time and did not rush us which made the experience even more noteworthy.
I highly recommend Jack to anyone looking for headshots. He will not disappoint!

Taylor K.

Jack was accommodating and professional and so easy to work with! He coached me well as I am not that comfortable behind a camera and we ended up with some amazing shots! I would definitely use his services again in the future!

Cindy S.

Jack was so amazing with my 8-year-old! Being my daughter's first headshots he was so patient and kind! He did exactly what I wanted and was so great about including my daughter in the process of picking pictures she liked. I will be recommending Jack to everyone.

I also had my 1-year-old there and in the room and he was so great with that and didn’t make me feel uncomfortable or like it was a problem.
Will definitely be using him again.

Lela P.

Jack made the experience of getting my first professional headshot easy and fun. Jack did a wonderful job directing me so my photos could be the best they can possibly be. Would highly recommend it!

Shayla B.


Jack was great! We loved his guidance throughout the whole process, making us feel at ease. Our fear was that it would be awkward and not feel natural but he quickly put our worries to rest with his kind demeanour. The highlight was his capturing our newborn who was 3 months old at the time. Pictures we’ll forever cherish!

Leadership behind the lens. 📸

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Niki Jalali, Vice President of Surety, Western Canada at Intact Insurance — and what a session it was.
Niki’s role is pivotal. At the forefront of Western Canada’s surety market, she blends strategic acumen with genuine warmth — a rare mix that builds trust and lasting relationships. That very balance of strength and authenticity is exactly what I set out to capture through my lens.

Intact Insurance, Canada’s largest provider of property and casualty insurance, is known for its scale and impact — from its specialty lines to operations across the U.K. and Ireland. Within that, the Surety Division plays a critical role: helping contractors, developers, and businesses move projects forward with confidence. Their reputation is built on credibility, performance, and follow-through — much like the leaders who represent them.

When I photographed Niki, I wasn’t just taking a headshot — I was telling a story. The story of a trusted leader helping build and protect Western Canada’s business landscape. Her presence, professionalism, and easy confidence made the session effortless and inspiring.

Because great corporate headshots shouldn’t feel stiff or formulaic — they should reveal who you are as a leader: how you show up, what you stand for, and why it matters.

Thank you, Niki, for such a fun, collaborative shoot — your energy made this session truly stand out.

If you’re a leader or executive team in Vancouver, North Vancouver, or West Vancouver looking to refresh your professional image, I’d love to help your story come through — authentically and powerfully.

Laughter, great energy, and a day well spent with the RSL team! 📸

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a new series of professional headshots for Refrigerative Supply Limited (RSL) — one of Canada’s most respected names in the HVAC and Refrigeration industry.

Founded in 1945, RSL has built an incredible reputation as a trusted wholesale distributor known for its professionalism, expertise, and exceptional service. With 350+ employees and 16 locations across Western Canada, their commitment to quality and innovation shines through — not just in their products, but in their people.

What really stood out on set wasn’t just how organized and efficient everything was (though it absolutely was!) — it was the genuine camaraderie, warmth, and pride everyone brought to the session.

From Burnaby to Kelowna to Regina, RSL’s values — Gracious, Collaborative, Courageous, Innovative, Community-Focused, and Customer-Driven — aren’t just words on a wall. You can see them in every handshake, every laugh, and every photo.
There’s something special about photographing corporate teams in their own workspace — it creates a level of authenticity and ease that lets real personalities come through. That’s exactly what made this session so rewarding: capturing the professionalism and approachability that define RSL’s brand.

A big thank-you to everyone at RSL for such a smooth and enjoyable experience — collaborating with teams that value both excellence and people always makes my work even more meaningful.

If your company’s ready to refresh your headshots — whether on location or in-studio — I’d love to help your team look its best.

✨ Fresh Headshot Alert: Meet Caroline Schein!

I had the pleasure of photographing a new professional headshot for Caroline Schein — the brilliant Chief People & Culture Officer at Odlum Brown Limited. Caroline’s passion lies in empowering teams and shaping workplace culture — and it shows in everything she does.

With an impressive track record spanning organisational development, operations, change management, leadership coaching and communication design, Caroline brings both vision and longstanding hands-on expertise to every initiative. Her core focus is on creating people-centred strategies and systems that elevate performance, cultivate leadership and foster engaged workplaces.

During our session in North Vancouver, we made sure her headshot reflected that same blend of confidence, approachability and purpose. The goal? A portrait that not only looks professional on LinkedIn and corporate communications — but also conveys her authentic leadership style and the positive, future-oriented mindset she brings to her role.

Why does this matter? In today’s digital world your headshot is often your first impression—whether on your company website, LinkedIn profile or in proposals and presentations. It’s a visual handshake, and it should say: “I’m experienced, trustworthy and ready to lead change.” Caroline’s new image hits that mark.

If you’re a business leader, HR executive or change-maker in the Vancouver, North Vancouver or West Vancouver region looking to refresh your professional presence, I’d love to help craft a headshot that works as hard as you do. Let’s show the world your authentic leadership and show up with intention.

Here’s to strong partnerships, powerful leadership and images that truly reflect the impact you bring.
