I had such a wonderful experience! He was incredibly professional, friendly, and efficient. He made me feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera, and the final photo turned out absolutely beautiful (genuinely one of the best one I've ever had of mysel). He even went above and beyond afterward to make a larger print version for me, since I suddenly wanted a huge wall-print. This is a lot more than what I expected. Highly recommend!

DeMayne is an outgoing, energetic, and all around good person to be around. I am not usually comfortable in photo taking situation but DeMayne made the experience feel natural and even fun. I am happy to have great photos to show off and use and am excited to invite friends and family to the 5th Street Arcades studio to share a similar experience!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EXP and how does it work?

Simply put, EXP is the power of control. It allows you to customize your session to fit your specific needs at no additional cost to you.

No need to pay for things in a package you may not need. Choose between extra retouched images, rush delivery, or advanced retouching. Mix & Match. The choice is yours.

Want 2 retouched images? We can do that!
Want 1 retouched image + rush production. Done!
Need advanced retouching on 1 final image? Yup!

What if I hate having my picture taken?

You’re not alone. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands, as I’ll be your mirror during the session.

I’ll guide you through body positioning and expression, down to the smallest adjustments that can make a big difference in the final results. You’re in good hands.

Will my selected headshots be edited?

Every final image you select is professionally edited and retouched to give you a polished and professional look.

Standard delivery is typically within a few days, with rush services available. EXP credits can also be used for rush production.

Which headshot session is right for you?

Our Express Session is quick 20-30 minute session designed to produce a quality headshot for people who enjoy being photographed.

Our Signature Experience is the perfect for those who want time to settle in for more focused coaching, live image previews, and room to dial in that expression.

Our VIP Experiences takes it even further with a pre-session strategy call, in-depth coaching, time to change outfits to create more variety.

Where is our headshot studio located?

Our dedicated headshot studio is located inside the 5th Street Arcades in Downtown Cleveland, with access from both Euclid and Prospect Avenues.

The studio includes a private dressing room with a few essentials to help you get ready for your session.

Where do I park in Downtown Cleveland?

We recommend the parking garage at The Beacon, located behind Potbelly Sandwich Shop and just a short walk from the studio.

Parking rates can change during downtown events, so we’ll include current parking information with your session details.
