This is Photography

This is Photography is a portrait specialist based in Halifax, offering a focused, personal approach to professional portraits and business headshots. Heather Crosby Gionet brings a warm, conversational style that immediately puts people at ease — the result is portraits that feel natural, confident and unmistakably like you. Why choose This is Photography for your portrait? Because portrait work is a core expertise. Heather values variety and deliberately builds galleries that show different angles, lighting and expressions so you have images that work across LinkedIn, company profiles, media kits and personal portfolios. Whether you need a crisp corporate headshot, a relaxed creative portrait or a polished LinkedIn photo, the studio approach is tailored to capture the specific mood and message you want to convey. What makes the approach special is the combination of technical care and human connection. Heather blends refined studio lighting and thoughtfully chosen backdrops with a gentle, encouraging direction so even camera-shy clients feel comfortable. Her love of variety — changing angles, subtle shifts in light, and playful prompts — means each session delivers a selection of authentic images rather than a single pose. How we work together: the process is uncomplicated and client-focused. We begin with a short conversation about the purpose of your portraits and where you’ll use them. On the day, Heather creates an atmosphere that’s relaxed and professional; she guides posture and expression while keeping the session feeling natural. After the shoot, selected images are carefully edited to enhance tone and clarity while preserving your true likeness. Final images are delivered in formats suited for web and print so you can use them immediately across professional profiles and business materials. Heather’s passion for portraiture is rooted in storytelling — each portrait is a small story about who you are right now. If you’re looking for a Halifax portrait studio that treats portraits as more than a photograph — as a confident, well-crafted visual introduction — This is Photography offers the expertise, creativity and personable approach to make that happen.
