Virtual Portraits with Kristen Cook
Virtual Portraits are a unique and intimate smartphone-based portrait session that brings the art of photography right into the comfort of your home. By their nature, they allow a sense of personal authenticity and connection to place.
In these specially curated virtual sessions, you’ll enjoy the convenience of staying in your home while I guide you through the process with care and expertise, just as I would during an in-person session. The result? Captivating portraits that reflect your genuine self and the beauty of your surroundings.
Using your smartphone’s camera, I’ll remotely control the photography process. Together, we’ll explore your living space to discover the best lighting and locations to truly complement your images. With my guidance, you’ll feel at ease, ensuring we capture the most authentic and emotive moments.
Virtual Portraits are not just ‘iPhone’ portraits; they are a story of you, intricately woven with the backdrop that holds your dearest memories.
(Note: We currently offer Virtual Portrait sessions held remotely through smartphone cameras for those outside of Victoria. For studio sessions, please visit our regular portrait website)

FAQs
Who would benefit from a virtual portrait?
Everyone unable to attend a studio session.
For those who want to be near, but are far. For those who time matters. For those who seek a personal honesty in family connection. For those wanting a gently curated yet unassuming collection of photographs that connect to home. No matter where you are, from New York to London, or anywhere in between.
I want to photograph you.
What happens after the session?
Sit back and relax. I upload your images, curate your final gallery and professionally colour treat all of your selections. You get to see the final finished images in your personal online gallery for 24 hours, where you choose your favourites.
Do I need to have an iPhone?
No, we can tailor the session for you, whether you use iPhone or Android.
How long does a virtual portrait session last?
Sessions last approximately 30-45 mins, and are best scheduled at a time when you have good light in your home.
Do you just take screenshots over a video call?
Absolutely not. I’m proud to provide you with imagery at the highest possible native resolution that your specific smartphone provides.
I love so many of them! Can I purchase more?
I take immense pride in providing images that you will love, irrespective of whether I am photographing you virtually or in-person. Upgrading your selection after you have seen your images is absolutely possible should you wish to purchase more.
