Phil Cantor Photography

I was concerned that my headshots would have awkward smiles and not look natural, but I love them! What surprised me was the fluidity of the portrait session. It was fun, easy and transparent. You did a great job!

This portrait session has been in the works for over a year and stems from my breast cancer journey. I was diagnosed in 2012, and I am cancer-free. I am not a statistic but a survivor. Throughout this journey, I never complained, but used this opportunity to help others and encourage them. The portrait session, to me, was my feel-good, look-good moment.

I felt the confidence to step out of my comfort zone and I immersed myself in being the best me. This is my first time doing a professional portrait, besides Kmart years ago. I love the photos (did I say all the photos)! I felt that you did an excellent job of directing me because I can be quite serious at times. The photographs are stunning! I would like to thank you for your patience in working with me.and I believe that you enjoyed working with me too!

I reached out to Phil for my ERAS photo and he was able to get me in later that day. Normally I dislike having to pose for photos, but he made every shot feel natural. The session as a whole was relaxed and light, surprisingly I even had some fun. I'd definitely recommend him.

Made an appointment with Phil to get professional headshots taken for a company website. The entire experience was smooth sailing. Phil was receptive, professional, and very easy to work with. The best part: the picture came out great! I would happily return to Phil for more photos in the future. Highly recommend giving Phil a shot!

I don't think I am photogenic, so I don't usually like taking pictures. My eyes are always closed and/or my smile seems forced, and the pictures never seem to come out quite right. However, the portrait session with Phil was a fun and pleasant experience. I love all of the pictures.

Phil made our session a very easy and enjoyable experience! I enjoyed that we photographed at various locations, with a good blend of formal and relaxed presentations. My family and I are thrilled with how the portraits came out; we highly recommend!

I appreciated that Phil took the time to meet in person ahead of our session. It was helpful for me to learn what to expect during my session, picking out the right outfits & how to do my hair and makeup on the day of my shoot. The studio is great. The spacious dressing room & private bathroom made me feel comfortable. I like how he prompted me on exactly how to pose, where to look, how to tilt my head, etc during the session. I enjoyed the photo session, my photos look great and I had a hard time choosing!

Phil took time to prepare me for my photography session. We had meetings in advance to discuss my needs and to prepare for our photoshoot. We discussed how the photos were going to be used in my marketing plan. Understanding my goals helped make the session professional, personal, and creative. I think that the photographs are exceptional. We did different settings and outfits to accommodate the varied tasks that I routinely do.

I needed photos not only for business cards, but also for my web page, newsletter, and social media. We were able to produce beautiful photos of me looking professional, friendly and happy in everything I do.

Phil guided me every step of the way and was constantly making adjustments on everything - where and how to stand, head tilt, facial expression, and smile. We tried several different poses for each outfit. At times I felt stiff; he helped me relax to feel and look more comfortable. I was surprised how patient Phil was throughout the whole process.

I never felt rushed during the photo shoot, especially while I was changing from one outfit to the next. The photographs exceeded my expectations. They are, by far, the best photographs I have ever taken.
