They say a picture is worth a thousand words; but a good headshot is worth much, much more.
They have the power to enhance your image, convey professionalism and offer insight into who you are and what your business stands for. With the right photography, look and wardrobe, we help women meet their goals by curating their perfect headshot.
Be prepared to spend four hours being styled, pampered and photographed by industry-leading professionals in fashion, beauty and photography. Celebrity stylist Julianne Costigan, the prestigious beauty team at Fancy Face and Toronto-based photographer, Erin Leydon, have come together to produce beautiful portraits for women looking to take their image to the next level.

A Letter from Julianne
One of the best investments I made in myself was hiring Erin to do my headshot and website photography.
I have used these images over and over again and feel that they speak for me when I’m not able to speak for myself. I’ve used these photographs for my website, PR features, speaking engagements, podcasts, social media… the list is endless!
Before having a headshot I was proud of, I didn’t put myself out there. I turned down PR opportunities. I didn’t launch my website. Not having a great headshot held me back; that void echoed the little voice inside my head that told me I couldn’t do it. I went to an event a few years ago and the first thing the speaker said to a room full of women was: “Ladies - if there is one piece of advice I can give you, it’s to have a great headshot.” This advice was exactly what I needed to hear and it has been the key to my success and continuous growth as an entrepreneur. My headshot has taken me places I never thought I would go. It has opened doors I never thought I would walk through.
This event is for all the women who want a great headshot but don’t know who to hire or how to make it happen. Let me help you make that first investment in yourself. I can’t wait to see where it takes you!

But wait, it doesn't end there!
there's more...
We want to exceed your expectations and continue your style journey even after your headshot series by giving you the most recent issue of Julianne’s sought after Digital Style Guide — this also makes you a member of Julianne's exclusive Style Collective.
In a time when our online presence often makes the first impression, it’s important to be intentional about what you are communicating. Professional portraits are an opportunity to put your best foot forward, amplify your personal brand and set yourself apart from your competition. A few forgotten areas to make a lasting impression with a portrait include your online profile (such as LinkedIn), your website, social media, speaking engagements and Zoom meetings.
Plus, you’ll be given two of Julianne’s “must have” pieces from Jenny Bird’s Icon Collection, our favourite mask and mask accessory from ai Toronto Seoul, and other exclusive gifts from some of Toronto’s most coveted brands.
Book a time with us from Friday, April 23rd to Sunday, April 25th and enjoy a safe, empowering and uplifting day at the beautiful SilverLine Studios. Make an investment in yourself, your image and your success. You deserve this!

Yes. You’ll need to bring your own clothes from home. Julianne will have racks of clothing available at the shoot to try on and wear but it’s important that you come with clothes of your own. Not sure what to bring? Book a one-hour virtual consultation with Julianne ahead of your shoot or look at our mood boards to draw inspiration for outfits that look great on camera. (You’ll have access to these mood boards once your portrait session has been booked.)

Questions You May be Wondering
It’s more than just great style, professional stylists know the secrets behind the clothing that look best on camera, are flattering for your body type and the colours that compliment your skin tone.
Why is a professional stylist so important?
Hair and makeup can appear a lot different in a photograph compared to what you’re used to seeing in the mirror. Professional makeup artists dedicate their careers to mastering the perfect on-camera makeup so their clients don’t look flat, washed out or shiny for their most important moments.
Hiring all of these services on your own can be costly and time consuming. As a celebrity stylist, Julianne has worked with the best photographers and makeup artists in the industry. You can trust that she has selected the best in the business to help produce your perfect headshot.
Why do I need a professional makeup artist?
