Robert Read Photography
Most people are uncomfortable in front a camera and don't know how to look approachable, real, and confident. They think you just have to "be photogenic." But there is a method, and I will show you exactly what to do. I can coach anyone into their best expressions. You will love what you see. Your photoshoot will feel relaxed and easy.

There's nothing like having an experienced professional be completely invested in making you feel great and look fantastic. You may find your confidence rises permanently when you see how good you can look on camera. Right now, others are deciding how much they trust you. Your image either reinforces or undermines the impression you want to give, and it accompanies every email you send and profile you post.

As a working professional I have had to invest God only knows how much time and money into cheesy-smile professional headshots which have never felt like anything more than a chore, but let me tell you right now this guy is a wizard at what he does. Robert had a well thought out approach which made the whole process natural, easy and resulted in a superior product.

I found this place on Google and after receiving many many emails from Robert about the science of photography I thought to myself that this guy is the right person to do my headshot.
It was $500 initial fee and thereafter $75 for each picture. He had an actor special so I paid $250 for initial fee and $225 for 3 photos. In all I paid $475 for 3 images. Robert was not what I expected. He wasn't supportive at all and stayed quiet most of the time which made me feel down. He took a long time before we could've gotten 1 image before he finishes his shoot the bright lights already blurred my eyes

Great photographer who definitely uses his lens to tell a story! He was patient and explained things very well during our session at the 10,000 headshots event! It was such a hot, humid day and everything was happening so fast but I never felt rushed! Thank you!

I was a participant / attendee in the 10,000 Headshots project, and Robert was my photographer. All attendees were given just about 10 minutes with their photographer. In that short of time, Robert captured 12 or 13 photos of me, and the last few were the best. I'm very pleased with my new headshot! Robert was a true professional. Many thanks to Robert for his donation of services and time to this thoughtful and caring project. I recommend Robert Read Photography if you are looking for a great headshot; you'll be very pleased with the results!

I found Robert through a simple google search for a professional headshot that needed updating and saw great reviews. He was professional and spent more than enough time to help with coaching throughout the shoot and sort through photos. The pictures came out perfect and would definitely recommend!

Robert Read has a gift. I needed a professional headshot and Robert somehow managed to capture my "storyteller podcaster spirit" within my professional headshot. The results were amazing. He is professional, courteous, and has a way of putting you at ease to bring out the smile, look, or positive expression within that you never knew (or you forgot) existed. Robert’s trained eye can see it, and with a click of his camera—he will amaze you with the results. I recommend him highly, and I will definitely use his services again. Thank you so much Robert!

I have never felt photogenic a day in my life until I visited Robert in his studio.
I grew up an athlete, the son of a small-town woman who was for many years a single mother hell-bent on not letting the lack of a father figure turn me “soft”.
So it was during those awkward developmental teenage years while my peers worried about their ears being too small or their noses being too big I was shoving tampons in my bloody nose and having coaches and family friends drain and lance my cauliflower ears (on numerous occasions). Many of us worried about our weight, though my forced vomiting was a

After reviewing way too many websites for portfolios of professional photographers, when I stumbled across the shots on SV Headshots website, I instantly knew that was the professional look I was after. The icing on the cake was how easy it was to set up a time for the photo shoot online where I could see all of my options and make a decision without the stress of a receptionist waiting for me on the phone. The day of my shoot I arrived nervous as a cat. Robert Read made the sitting effortless, and made me feel comfortable enough to have close up head shots taken where I don’t look like a car

It was my first time getting a professional headshot and I had no idea what to expect. Robert put me at ease completely. His studio is comfortable and creates an environment for feeling relaxed. The first round of shots I was feeling tense but he worked with me on positioning myself in the most flattering way. As the session went on my photos came out better and I was super impressed with how the photos turned out in the end. Having a standout professional headshot is critical to elevating your LinkedIn profile and helping you land a first great impression with new professional networks. Consider

Thrilled with the results and happy I got this done before I needed it. Still, I should have done it sooner and with some regularity (like every few years).

Getting professional photos is one of those things that is easy to put off. After having it done I find myself using the results all the time. I'm so happy to have them and appreciate the attention to detail that SV Headshot provides.

Now I just wish I could go back in time and have similar photos of the younger me - don't delay, do it now!

I needed to refresh my business "headshot" and a colleague recommended Robert Read. A great referral! He was professional, patient, and put me at ease. He didn't rush -- as a matter of fact, he continued shooting till I was satisfied. Lots of variety and creativity. I highly recommend Robert if you're looking to refresh your business photos!

If you're looking for a photographer to capture sophisticated headshots meant for a professional career advancement, I would highly recommend Robert Read. He was able to capture multiple moods, backdrops, poses, and outfits in a short amount of time. The turnaround on the touch ups of the photos was also really quick!
