Making professional headshots accessible:
For everyone, everywhere.

Iris Booth was founded in 2015 by Sue Siri, a photographer-turned-tech entrepreneur who saw a gap in the market: professional headshots are essential, but expensive and hard to coordinate. She envisioned a self-serve, tech-driven solution that would bring professional-quality portraits to anyone who needed them.

From our early days in Halifax and partnerships with photographers around Canada, Iris Booth quickly gained traction. We’ve since evolved into a trusted partner for universities, corporate offices, healthcare facilities, and government agencies—ensuring a consistent, high-quality headshot experience for thousands of users worldwide. In 2023, Iris Booth joined forces with Rundle Partners, ushering in a new chapter of growth and innovation while staying true to our founder’s original vision.

To make professional portrait photography accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Become the world’s most trusted tool for self-use professional portrait photography.

At Iris Booth, we’re passionate about leveling the playing field. A polished headshot shouldn’t be a privilege limited to those with big budgets or access to professional studios. By partnering with institutions across the world, we can place our booths in high-traffic, high-impact locations—like campuses, corporate offices and government institutions. We help people from every walk of life present themselves confidently.

When your headshot precedes you in emails, on LinkedIn, or in job applications, it’s more than just a photo—it’s an opportunity. We see every booth session as a small but crucial step toward improved career prospects, personal branding, and, ultimately, social mobility.
