CALGARY'S HEADSHOT, PORTRAITS, AND EVENT PHOTOGRAPHER


Headshots and portraits that make you feel great when you look at them.


No matter your experience or comfort level in front of the camera,
I'll provide expert direction, a relaxed and fun environment, and quick turnaround times.

Easy, convenient, professional photography, in-studio or on location.


I love working with people to make great portraits, which means I don't just know how to set up a light and click the shutter; I will guide, coach, and support you to produce an amazing, confident, powerful expression that will make you say "Wow!"

My specialty is headshots - individual headshots for LinkedIn, actors,  social media, advertising, authors' book jackets, business cards, dating profiles, and more; corporate photography and business portraits for entire staff teams; executive headshots; conference headshot photos, etc. - and I'm all about making sure you leave your session totally satisfied with both the process and the end result.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT PURPLE HOUSE PHOTOGRAPHY

Dan is very professional and did an incredible job at taking my pictures for my business cards. His vibe is positive and relaxed; making it easy to let loose and be yourself in front of the camera. He was very attentive to my every need and nailed the look I was aiming for. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a pro in the industry. I look forward to working with him again in the near future.
Rachele

Dan is a consummate professional, he is efficient, friendly, and easy-going. The photo shoot was fun and stress-free, and the resulting photos were some of the best photos I’ve ever had taken.
Simon

I would consider myself to be quite camera shy, so I was pretty nervous going into my session with Dan. As soon as I met him, my nerves eased. Dan is such a pro, he provides excellent direction, has great attention to detail and will put you at ease right away.
Sarah

Incredible work, professionalism, fast, courteous, made me feel very comfortable, and awesome value! Can't ask for more than that!

Dan MacDonald, photographer.

Thanks for considering me. I'm Dan MacDonald (he/him), a portrait photographer based in Calgary, Alberta, serving all surrounding areas.

I pride myself on professionalism, quick turnaround times, attention to detail, and a positive attitude; that's why hundreds of companies and individuals have trusted me to meet their photography needs, and have returned as clients again and again.

After a number of years in communications and marketing, I decided to become a stay-at-home dad, and a while after that I began my career as a professional photographer, in 2013. I started by focusing on family portraits, before specializing in headshots and creative portraits, embracing my love of lighting and posing. Purple House Photography has given me the opportunity to meet great people, learn about the wide swath of career paths Albertans take, and indulge in my creative drive to make great portraits. My goal is to produce work that you love. "This is the best picture anyone's ever made of me," is the highest complement I can receive.

I'm here to meet your needs, on time and on budget. I'll also make you feel great about yourself.

Whether it's in my studio space in Calgary's Beltline, at your business, or on location, let's work together.
