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!
