"Just wanted to say thank you for such a fabulous photo shoot for my daughter yesterday! I wasn't sure how comfortable she would be but both Olivia and yourself made her feel right at home. Between selecting her favorite music videos to get her energized for the shoot and encouraging her while she was posing it really couldn't have been more perfect! She kept raving about the shoot after and I think she's a little more excited than me to see the photos!!! Thanks again!"

"Hey guys, if you're an actor in Vancouver and you need headshots I highly recommend Ian R. , he's super nice, his studio is super chillaxed. He plays Of Monsters and Men, lights a tonne of incense, he has insane Game of Thrones posters, and an adorable kitten named Aslan who will eat everything in sight and bury you with love. Oh yeah, and he takes SUPERB headshots. It was one of my favorite experiences being photographed. Ever."

"I've shot with Ian several times now, both for headshots and beauty shoots, and I've gone back for a reason. He makes the shoots so comfortable and fun, finding a way to eliminate all tension and nervousness out of me, while bringing his unique eye to create some amazing final products. (In a very timely manner, too!) His studio is a blast, and everyone involved (hair/makeup, photo assistants) are such fun, uplifting people to be around and it creates a comfortable, cool environment. Thank you, Ian, for all the great times!"

Ian creates a really easy and relaxed atmosphere, that is equal parts fun and professional. I would definitely recommend getting head shots with Ian after my last session that both my agent and I were very excited about!! My new shots with him definitely set me out on a good roll with casting. Thanks Ian!! PS They also have a fabulous taste in music - get ready to have the mood set with the best tunes :)"

Having someone who knows what the industry is looking for and can get you those looks is really important in a headshot photographer. Ian is one of those photographer. Within 24 hours of me posting my new headshots on casting workbook, my agent called me with 3 auditions!! I even booked one of them! I'd say they work. BONUS - Ian is a totally nice guy! I would highly recommend him and his team. You can bet I'll be back for more. Thanks, team Ian R.!!!"
