About
I excel at connecting with the client and bringing them out of their shell in order to get an amazing photo experience. When It comes to headshots I pride myself on making sure the client gets exactly what they want to further their career in acting or business.
Taking photos is all about capturing a moment for all time and I love the look on people's faces when they see something they never expected.

Chris was by far the most efficient photographer I got a chance to work with. He was punctual ( I was few minutes late). He arrived, took over the space, new exactly how to take photos and work the space and furniture to make sure we got the best and most flattering shots for the place. Very professional, quick and kind. The shoot was wrapped up quickly. He delivered the photos the same evening and they were perfectly edited and ready to use. No re-editing requests needed. I highly recommend him and will definitely reach out for future shoots. Thank you Chris!

Chris Waggoner photographed our wedding party and did a spectacular job of capturing our event. A few weeks before the event, we discussed what my wife and I wanted out of the images. I asked for a mix of group shots, portraits, and cinematic candids. At the event, he was totally engaged with our guests and did a fantastic job of navigating a crowded party. We are SO HAPPY with what he shot and he delivered everything we discussed in our initial conversation. Chris is a genuinely good dude and we are so fortunate that he was a part of our celebration. Super professional + super talented + super nice. Would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thanks so much, Chris!

If I could give Chris a 6th star I would. Chris helped me capture my engagement proposal. He had to be early and incognito to ensure the surprise wasn’t ruined. He went over the top with helping scout locations for gorgeous pictures and was in total commincation keeping leading up to the event and kept me at ease. The photos are incredible and now framed throughout our home. I couldnt be happier we chose him to help with this special moment. Would definitely refer him to friends...Thanks Chris

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My standard headshot fee is $450 and that includes two edited headshots as well as an hour and a half of session time on location. For most other types of photography I have a two hour minimum of $350 dollars. Each additional hour is $175.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before the client even steps in front of the camera I like to either meet with them in person or have a conversation over the phone. That way we have a rapport and can hit the ground running on the day of the shoot. I am very easy going and love to have fun during the shoot. For headshots I typically give the client scenarios or throw out words to get the gears in their head turning.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to Penn State University and Studied Theatre, so I have first hand experience with what is needed out of a professional industry standard headshot. I know what its like to stress out about making sure I get every look that I need and the pressure that actors feel when they are looking for their next contract.
