Headshot Photo Studios in Wellington

I had my graduation photos taken here at Profile Photos and the results came out exceeding my expectations. They're so good I picked up a few more from my initial purchase. Steve is a wonderful and excellent photographer. I don't usually like getting my photos taken and often shy away from the camera. Steve made me feel at ease and even showed me some tips to look better in camera. Not to mention the reasonable pricing, accessible location, easy-to-use website, and reliable communication.

Profile Photos will definitely be my first choice and would highly recommend Steve for his professional portrait photography services.

I booked a session with Steve on the recommendation of a friend and couldn’t be happier with my experience!

Steve is an exceptional photographer who exceeded all of my expectations. He has a great eye for detail and was able to capture exactly what I was looking for. He made me feel comfortable during the shoot and was able to bring out my best features. The images he produces are stunning!

The online booking system was straightforward and clear, and the studio is conveniently located in central Wellington and easy to find.

I highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a professional and talented photographer. He is truly one of the best in the business.

Had a wonderful experience with Steve! He made the shoot super natural and easy (especially for someone who doesn't love photos). The images turned out so lovely, great lighting, colours & amazing quality. Would definitely recommend profile photos to others looking for professional photos!

Steve and I had a great time shooting creatively. It was my first time working with him, and he immediately put me at ease and made me feel at home. I have noticed that photographers who can put you at ease and who you can trust will capture the beauty that's inside you, and Steve did just that. Super happy with the pictures, I can't wait to work with him again.

I recently signed up to be photographed by Steve as part of his 31 for 31 charity project, having seen lots of his work around. He's clearly great at what he does (his portfolio speaks for itself) but I also found Steve to be super down-to-earth, unhurried, and accommodating, in terms of trying out different approaches so that you have some good options to choose from — all of which I really appreciated as someone who's not used to being in front of a camera.

The booking process and communication leading up to the appointment was straightforward, too, which seems like a minor thing but went a long way in making the whole experience smooth and hassle-free.

If having your photo taken is a bit out of your comfort zone, I would definitely recommend having a think beforehand about the sorts of photos you're going for and being proactive about bringing ideas for poses and such, in order to make the most of your time with Steve, and so that it's easier for him to meet you halfway.

All in all, a great experience, for a great cause — thanks again!

I'm always nervous having my photos taken professionally and have had not so great experiences in the past. So it was such a wonderful experience meeting Sabrina and having my photos taken by her. She made me feel very relaxed and was so patient with me as she guided me through the process. Not to mention she's a great photographer! Thank you Sabrina, I will definitely be back for more x

Not only is Sabrina an amazing lady but also a highly skilled and talented photographer. She is extremely kind, welcoming and friendly. As an aspiring actor, I was struggling to find someone to shoot my portfolio and I couldn't be thankful enough to have connected with Sabrina. Would definitely recommend her to everyone. Thanks for everything Sabrina and definitely look forward to working together in the future again😊

Absolutely delighted with the photos Sabrina produced - I can't quite believe they are of me. The whole experience was a delight and such fun. I would certainly recommend Sabrina to anyone wanting to get headshots done (for whatever purpose).

Sabrina is an amazing photographer and an absolute pleasure to work with! She has a talent for putting you at ease, so I felt comfortable and relaxed during the session. Love the photos and definitely recommend working with Sabrina!

Headshots provided me with amazing photos. Working with Sabrina on the day of the photoshoot was fun and easy she was professional, calm and patient. She knows exactly how to get the best out of someone who dislikes having their photo taken.

John is really professional and the whole process was great. Though I found that the passport photo I was pretty wide - I understand focal length can make a big difference, so I didn't think anything of it when I submitted the photo for my passport replacement.

However the difference in my the photo I got here vs my actual face was noticeable enough that I have (almost) been turned away at the airport twice now - but luckily I always bring secondary identification for this reason haha

Excellent service— excellent photographer—
By appointment—on time and professional, friendly service. Highly recommend.

Photography dominant gallery space where you can enjoy your time in there. The price of the photo work is very affordable at most of the time. It is a true photography gallery and many well known photographers regularly have their shows there.

This gallery recently renovated and the space has been more opened and freshly new carpet installed.

Great location, a heart in the capital village in Courtenay Place.

John who works here is brilliant. My partner came home from a weekend doing black and white and rated John as personable and great fun with some incredible experience. The workshop was worth every penny to him if not more.

The best contemporary photographic gallery in Wellington,James is the friendly knowledgeable gallery owner,I recommend if you are a local or visiting is always worth a visit !

Mel did an outstanding job as our wedding photographer. They photos were magical. In particular, we're so impressed with the moments of connection that she managed to capture between our friends and family. This is one of the things we most loved about her portfolio, so we were thrilled to see it come through on our day! We also appreciate how natural we look in our posed photos, owing to how relaxed she helped us to feel, and how the natural environment was brought to life, creating a gorgeous ambiance. She's a treasure!

Mel is an amazing photographer! I am super thankful for her as she booked me in last minute for my graduation photoshoot. Mel is very professional and made my family and I feel relaxed and welcomed into her home studio. It is clear that Mel takes pride in her work as it translates through the images she captures. Thank you very much Mel!

I hired Mel of Mel Waite Photography for some business branding photoshoots for both myself and my clients. Mel made all three of us feel very relaxed and at ease in front of the camera in her stunning home-based studio, guiding us on our positioning and angles. The result was a collection of extremely professional photographs to use throughout my and my clients websites and social media. I highly recommend Mel Waite Photography, Mel is extremely kind, gentle, lovely and friendly! Thank you Mel! SJ xx

Mel photographed our wedding and we are still overwhelmed at how the photos turned out. Mel was super helpful in the lead up to and on the day, capturing the most wonderful moments. I love the little touches she adds to everything too, including the box you get with the memory stick and the photo books. Such amazing quality in everything. I can't wait to have our next photos with Mel of my daughter.

Mel was our wedding photographer and the meetings before our day to discuss what we wanted, were so helpful. We loved the whole experience of having Mel on our special day and boy did she deliver! We love every single photo and feel so lucky that she was able to capture so many beautiful moments. We loved the sneak peek that she sent us and made it even more exciting when we got to see the full lot. We are forever thankful for her services and cannot wait to see pictures of our first child from Mel. Thank you and definitely go with Mel if you want a personal, funny, caring and brilliant experience from a photographer. Not to mention that the photos she produces are pieces of art. She was and is worth every single cent.

We highly, highly recommend Alicia Scott as a wedding photographer! From the moment we first contacted her for a quote until the moment we received all of our amazing photos (and still to this day actually!), Alicia has been nothing but professional, kind, joyful and an absolute pleasure to have as part of our wedding story! Under difficult photography conditions including gloomy, drizzly, freezing cold weather and a very ill groom (meaning we only had a very short ‘wedding portrait’ photography session), the photos she has produced to memorialise our most special day are just stunning! I’ve added some photos to this review for evidence of the amazing work she created. Almost a year later, I’m still looking through our wedding photos at least weekly. We couldn’t recommend Alicia more highly and we encourage anyone looking for a wedding photographer to go no further than ‘Alicia Scott Photography’. Thank you for capturing our day so beautifully!

I recently engaged Alicia to take some commercial pictures for my business. Sometimes you have the great luck to find someone really special, and Alicia is that someone for me, she did such an amazing job. Alicia took the time to review the existing image's on my website, so that the new images matched. She also re-shot of couple of the existing ones which she had noticed were flawed. I was really impressed with how respectfully Alicia handled my products too. Alicia had also taken the time to review my Instagram account before I arrived at her studio and at the end of the shoot surprised me with fantastically valuable help and advice. I look forward to improving the quality of the photos I take and post! Sincerely looking forward to working with Alicia again.

Alicia is such an amazing photographer. My husband and I married in March 2016 and before we chose Alicia we did a lot of research as we wanted to make sure that we would have amazing photos to last a lifetime. We could not have made a better decision.

From the first time we met with Alicia she was warm, inviting and professional. Our guests all commented on how amazing our photos are and how great Alicia was on the day. Her excitement for us and our day was lovely. She mentioned to us that she likes to try something different each time and her creativity really does shines through. At one point she even hopped up on the roof to grab the perfect group shot!

I recommend Alicia to everyone, thank you for capturing our wedding day so perfectly.

Alicia was amazing during the process leading up to and after our Wedding in February 2020.
Right from the initial consultation she really listened to what we wanted without pushing. When we scouted the location we wanted to have our photos taken, Alicia’s ideas were amazing. I was getting excited with all her suggestions.
What attracted me to having Alicia as our photographer (and we looked at many) is that her photos showed feeling and heart. I felt the emotions of her images and wanted that for us. Alicia delivered that 110%.
Our wedding photo’s are amazing. You can feel the fun, love and support in all our images and they bring out all those feelings we had on the day. This is what I wanted from a photographer and Alicia really delivered this. I had no doubt given the images I had seen prior to our day. She also made it fun and easy as an added bonus. I would recommend Alicia to everyone she has been so amazing and her work is truly wonderful. Thank you so much x

We were very happy with the photos Alicia took of both our engagement, and our wedding day. Alicia was very professional to work with, but also warm and friendly. She has such creative vision and we were happy to trust her vision for our photos.
Her photos captured every part of our day, and bring all the happy memories flooding back every time we look at them.
I'd recommend Alicia Scott to anyone I meet who needs a wedding photographer.

Simon has an amazing way with children. He's taken some lovely photos of our family and we would highly recommend him.

Love their photography. Maybe a bit pricey but worth the memories it captures!

Thanks! Got my graduation photo done and framed here, looks excellent.

Simon is great with the kids, and dies really nice photography

Fabulous school photos. Have amazing ability to capture natural expressions (and smiles!)

Thank you so much Aisha for taking my kids photos. I highly recommend this beautiful lady. She's also very good and friendly with kids. If you're thinking of upgrading your family pictures contact Aisha Ajmal Photography. Thank you Aisha ❤️

Aisha is an amazing and professional photographer. She did baby shoot of our little girl. It was really nice experience with aisha. She applied her full potential and with her creative ideas pictured us differently in every pose. And in no time she gave our edited clicks in soft and hard form as we desired. I found her very helpful as she clam my baby down and make as feel comfortable. We highly recommend her to other and also in future visit her again for more shoots. 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐to Aisha Ajmal.

Aisha was lovely to work with and took some really great photos that I was able to send to my overseas family. The kids loved having their pictures taken and she made them feel very comfortable. Very professional!

Aisha is super lovely, understanding and patience with my kids. I absolutely love all my photos from her both times I’ve gone and helped me achieve exactly what I wanted

Aisha is a lovely lady who is very kind and great with kids 😊 her photos are amazing and great value for money. Highly recommend!

Tim is a great photographer and a really nice human being! I was spoiled for choice when it came to picking some great shots. I recommend him highly.

Tim is a great photographer to work with. Makes the photoshoot process very easy and seamless. Very happy with the pictures.

Tim is an awesome photographer. He's easy-going, fun and adaptable which makes posing for photos really easy. Tim took a range of headshots and brand photos for my new website and social-media. I think he captured my personality brilliantly. I absolutely love my new pics! Thanks Tim!

Tim immediately made me feel comfortable, was engaging, chatty and turned what could have been a ' hard work' experience into fun. Really pleased with the results- lots of great ones to choose from. Highly recommend!

I thoroughly enjoyed my photoshoot with Tim.
He made the session easy and fun and I love my photos.

Really accomodating despite our indecisiveness of what we wanted. Took a bunch of great shots and we were in and out within half hour. We were running late and he remained patient and thorough. Thanks Brady we look forward to seeing our shots!

Reason for 2 rating - Yes, I came for photo session at your studio, we where in and out within 15mins (you might have forgot) you made some 50-70 clicks (nothing recommended for the posing or correction), i requested for digital prints and paid you, it took a week for you to upload the raw pics you never even corrected/edited at least cropped a pics, not even deleted the shaken pics. Just to copy from the memory card you charged $230. I think its a rip off.

Great photographer, even when things went wrong (not his fault) he was great and kept us well informed. Recommend to all.

Awesome experience with this guy, office is retro and fun too. Great guy to learn business and photography off too. Highly Recommend him.

Brady was prompt in giving quotes and replies. I could not use their service as it was out of my budget.

I have worked with Peter many times. He is highly professional and has outstanding results with his work. He knows everything about posing his models correctly and having all the right lighting and angles and colours etc. Couldn't recommend him more. Always impressed with the tasteful shots that we get. Love love love his work!!!

We had a full family (including newborn and dogs) photo shoot at Flair studio last weekend. Peter was fantastic - really welcoming, incredibly patient with our chaotic terriers, had a range of different backgrounds/areas for photos and most importantly he got great shots. He creates a relaxed environment for those of us who aren't used to being infront of the camera. I would highly recommend Peter if you're after beautiful photos of your family and/or furry friends.

Peter has always been so eager to shoot and has always been very flexible with making time. Every shoot I’ve had there have been some fantastic photos that have come from it. It is always nice to have a photographer willing to be creative with outfits, makeup and setting. Am definitely looking forward to our next shoot.

An absolutely incredible experience!!! Peter was our photographer and he did an amazing job in creating moments which have translated into beautiful photos which we will treasure. Highly recommend.

Peter did a great photo shoot with our puppy and had plenty of treats to keep our little fella happy while keeping still for the pics. Thanks Peter for great photos and capturing memories of our little guy while hes still a pup
