You need a "headshot", and you want it to be exceptional, but you need it to be cheap.
We have found a way to help you with that - our 'Business Portrait Advantage' Program,
where you too can experience the advantages of a professional portrait
from B. St.Pierre Studio, at a fabulous price!
It's been our pleasure for many years to have the opportunity to create SO MANY unique and dynamic Business Portraits. Please take a moment to watch this short video about our services, and you will see that because of our technology unsurpassed in this region, and endless creativity, you are not limited to the traditional head/shoulder crop in front of a painted canvas background. This will help you to start forming ideas on what YOUR portrait should look like to be more effective for your industry or business, and, be ready to convey those thoughts to us on your session booking form so that we can be prepared to do just that, for you!

Our custom Executive Portraits (what many call "headshots" - but from us, are so much more!!) are sessions that last up to an hour, often with complex set building before the client arrives, and a complete image viewing session included. Those sessions cost $245.00.
With our 'Business Portrait Advantage' Program, we have found a way to save you $$, the fee is only $98.00 (!), NEARLY 1/3 THE COST of Executive Portraits, and you still get the Business Portrait that you'd expect from us at B. St.Pierre Studio
... the one that will set you apart from your competition!
What's the difference between Executive Portraits and the Business Portrait Program aside from the price, you ask?
Ah, it's SIMPLE! You help us to reach more people, and you come into our Studio for a very well planned session that lasts up to 1/2 hour on a simple set* with a background that is perfect for your industry or business, a quick image review of your session before you leave, and online selection of your final choice or choices by midnight of the next day of their online availability. So, by helping us with our marketing to reach a wider audience** for the 'Business Portrait Advantage' Program, and keeping to a tighter photography and post-session artwork/retouching schedule, and being willing to communicate online before and after the session, we can help you with a really sweet price for a Business Portrait Digital Photo File, ready for print marketing materials and for web/internet social media!
Please note that the only way we can offer this price is to keep every step of the way within the parameters outlined here. If you prefer the custom experience that we are known for, and might feel that you are not getting the attention you desire because everything before and after your session is done online and kept to set guidelines and time restrictions, this might not be for you. This is a program to help those comfortable with those terms to save money.
* A "simple set" is one that we can turn into something custom for you quickly with the introduction of a few small props, such as a plant, table or chair, or something you bring like a leather binder, bag, massage table or dog grooming tools! Some of the sets we create for Executive Portrait Customers go way beyond that, for example, a personal chef planning to be in a kitchen scene with a countertop loaded with produce, cutting board, and other accouterments of the trade in front of them, which would require much prep time spent in the studio prior to the client's arrival to build a set for them that would accommodate all that believably in a final image. That is NOT what we are doing for this Business Portrait Program deal. Simple small changes can be effective, in this example, the kitchen scene, with the personal chef holding a grocery bag brimming with items she's purchased for her client's week worth of meals. She brings the bag of groceries propped and ready to go, and we provide the kitchen background and the place to be standing or sitting that works for that story.
What's the deal? How can this be only $98.00 and still one of Bonnie St.Pierre's impressive portraits for business?
We are excited to have found a way to make it possible for us to work for you, providing a custom image at a budget price. We look forward to having you join our family of clients, either through this Business Advantage Portrait Program or our Custom Executive Portrait Sessions, that have been able to differentiate themselves from their competition by use of the creativity and technology offered by B. St.Pierre Studio.

St.Pierre Studio.

What's the deal? How can this be only $98.00 and still one of Bonnie St.Pierre's impressive portraits for business?
- $98 - really, that's all! - for one retouched Business Portrait Digital Photo File, roughly 1/3 of our normal $245 fee.
- Wardrobe or background variation x1 (this means that during your session, we are willing to give you the variety you need to select from, or to potentially select additional images for your business portrait library for future marketing needs, without having to come back for another portrait anytime soon! This could be a different background, or a quick change of shirt, or both!)
- 30 minute appointment. This works very well when everyone is respectful of each others' time by being on-time, so that others are not impacted and all 'Business Portrait Advantage' Program clients can enjoy this wonderful deal to greatest advantage. We need time on set for you to begin to relax into your session and give us your best, and a few minutes together to review what we've captured, and finish up before the next client arrives.
- You book your appointment online. Your pre-payment of the $98.00 fee at the time of making the appointment is a retainer for our services for that time frame and is not refundable. Naturally, a family emergency or illness would be reason for our working with you to find a new appointment time for you, bypassing our automated system and manually booking that new time for you.
- You agree to spread the word to 3 or more colleagues; emailing the webpage provided below, and provide us with contact info and their consent for us to directly contact them. **This is really important to providing this Program for $98... your helping us to reach a wider audience allows us to keep the price so low because you are helping us in gaining visibility to others who might someday have need for our services as well. BUT, since you may have reasons to not be able to provide 3 contacts that could potentially become future clients, we realize we need to offer a "Price Option 2" that takes that requirement away, with all other terms of the program staying the same, at a $45 additional cost to the $98 Program Fee, still truly a great price.
- You are agreeable to the possibility that we may need to move your appointment, given at least 1 week's notice, if by chance we can't work around your appointment time to include our non-program priced client work in our schedule. We have chosen to open our schedule to you online with much flexibility so that you can find a day or time that best suits you, however, we are a professional photo studio that sometimes needs to make large blocks of time available to clients for custom portrait or on-location commercial portrait needs. We don't always know this months, or sometimes even weeks in advance. In a perfect world, everything would line up neatly, but when we open our schedule to the outside, we have to be realistic that there might be times where the unfortunate placement of a 1/2 hour session, for example, right in the middle of the morning or afternoon, might limit the potential for booking the custom work we do so much of in our studio. We will try everything else first to avoid needing to reschedule your session, but you need to know that it could happen, and understand that your flexibility in these circumstances is also part of the reason that we are able to offer you such a great price. Should this end up being the case for the session appointment you have chosen to book online, we will look at the schedule together with you and find another near to your originally chosen date and time where you would not be likely to be moved again. We're sure you understand that to be a thriving business ourselves, we still need to be able to book non-program priced work as well.
- A couple images will be viewed together with Bonnie briefly at session so that you'll know we have great ones to choose from, and later uploaded to a private online album by our office within 48 weekday hours. You will receive an email with a link to a personal web page containing the link to the online album, and have until midnight the next day for online viewing, to select your image, and to even purchase more if you have the need for them, at the really attractive additional price we'll be offering for them. Selection(s) are to be made by order form, whose link will also be provided on your personal web page. If no selection is made by midnight the next day, in order to keep a smoothly running schedule of this program along with our other client work, the photo that Bonnie had chosen to retouch/crop as an example in the online album is the one that will be provided to you. Your website page and image viewing page will be automatically taken down at the online expiration date and time, cannot be re-uploaded, and the special pricing for any additional image purchases will not be available any longer as well. This is all in an effort to keep things simple and not pile on additional office responsibilities and the need for additional service fees they could incur. The simpler we can keep things, the more successful for all of our clients, and the longer we can continue to run this program!
- Final touch-ups will not have been done yet for all the images in the online album. There may be one with light retouching by Bonnie to illustrate what is possible for the photo you select, and you may see a 2nd crop suggestion here and there in your album as well. (You will receive the original crop shown as your final file, containing more in the frame -unless you specifically ask for the tighter cropped image by its complete hyphenated number - and your graphic/web designer can crop as needed from that.) Reasonable retouching will be on any final images. Major corrections to hair or clothing is not included, so be sure that you have a nicely pressed ensemble, that your clothing fits well for a professional portrait, and that your hair is as you like it when you arrive for your session!
We are excited to have found a way to make it possible for us to work for you, providing a custom image at a budget price. We look forward to having you join our family of clients, either through this Business Advantage Portrait Program or our Custom Executive Portrait Sessions, that have been able to differentiate themselves from their competition by use of the creativity and technology offered by B.
