I was emailed this question today and figured that I would put it out there to see who our readers use and what suggestions you have for a new agent looking to get some head shots. Here is the email I received:
Hey jagger, could you please suggest a reasonably priced photographer who specializes in head shots like the ones taken for PROMPTON Realtors in Vancouver
Do you have any suggestions? Please leave a comment below with the photographers name and contact information.

I’ve referred a few clients to Sandra Steier of http://www.sandrasteier.com. Sandra had done the headshots for my Mortgage Broker, and I asked for her name.
Mary Porohowski, of RE/MAX Ken Leong told me “Went to the photographer Sandra, and she was fabulous. I would recommend her to ALL your clients.”
Mario Felicella, of Sutton Group Westcoast Realty also had very positive feedback. The images of him you see on his site were done by her.

I have two recommendations.You can review some of their work on my office website at http://www.remaxres.ca under the agents files.
1. Sandra Steier http: http://www.sandrasteier.com/
She actually came to the office and did a photo day for those agents who needed a new updated headshot. She’s very professional and has a good eye. See http://www.kenleong.com for his headshots – they’re great!
2. Tamara Leigh http://tamaraleighphotography.com/
Tamara has shot a number of the agents in my office such as Andrew Hasman and Margaret Leung.
Both of these photographers do great ‘personality’ shots that really work to make an agent stand out from the crowd. Hope this helps, Madeline

I’ve used Todd Duncan and he was kind enough to capture the socks too http://www.ianwatt.ca/TheIanWattTeam.php – 604-551-9413 – http://www.tdphotography.ca/index.php . Prices aren’t bad, but the best thing is that he can photoshop your imperfections… Very Nice

At the low end of the price scale, I have a nice DSLR camera, and can shoot an agent’s head shots, listing photos and other promotional snaps, in conjunction with my other services.

In a fit of shameless self-promotion, I am available to shoot headshots, property listings, promotional shots, and more for very reasonable rates. Please feel free to contact me with any photography needs. I am very happy to cater within the budgets of individuals and companies and enjoy very positive working relationships with all of my clients.
In a fit of shameless non-self-promotion, i’ve looked at the other recommendations here and I am very impressed! There’s some great photographers her in Vancouver!

Better late than never. I recommend Dave Montizambert at http://www.montizambert.com. He has a specific head shot product called Head Shotz (http://www.montizambert.com/qsp.html). Cost is $ 149.00 and I have accompanied 7 or 8 clients and they were happy with his work.
