Nocatee Headshot Photography

I was referred to Chris through the Portraits for Patriots organization and I am thankful he was the photographer I got to get to work with! I am retiring from the US Navy after 20 years, and I had never taken professional headshots before. Chris provided a guide on what to wear and what to expect and it really helped me decide how I wanted my photos to express me for my next journey. Chris is an amazing photographer and his attention to detail on the day of the photo shoot was impeccable! He made sure we got everything right from the lighting, to the pose and everything in between! I highly recommend using Chris for all of your photography needs and I will definitely be using him for any future photo updates! Thanks for everything Chris! 🫡

Chris is great! I tried to use him for some corporate headshots almost a year ago but my schedule had an unrealistic timeline. Here were are 9-10 months later and i called him and couldnt believe he remembered me. Anyway, he just delivered headshots for a new hire and they came out fantastic and they PROMPTLY. Will be sending more his way whenever i can!

Great experience taking my headshot with Chris. He does his job well. I got my picture in a day and the quality and the results met my expectations. Highly recommend his services. He is really friendly and professional ⭐️

Chris was awesome to work with. He was able to fit me into his schedule on very short notice and was able to email me the finished photos within 24 hours. I really enjoyed getting to meet and work with Chris and recommend anyone in the Jacksonville area to reach out if you need any photos taken. Thanks so much, Chris- it was so nice to meet you!

Chris is a great professional who does quality work. His support of transitioning veterans it’s amazing.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Chris Cotrell for a headshot session through the “Portraits for Patriots” program, and it was a fantastic experience. Chris is a true professional—he made the entire process easy and enjoyable from start to finish. He offered great suggestions throughout the session to help make the most of our time, and we covered a variety of looks including business, business casual, and casual. Chris’s attention to detail and guidance made a big difference in the quality of the session. I’m excited to see the final prints! I would highly recommend Chris Cotrell Photographers to anyone looking for professional headshots or portrait work.

I had a great experience with Chris for some professional headshots. He was very detail oriented, experienced, and did a great job!

Being the type of person who dislikes sitting for a photo, Chris did an AMAZING job of putting me at ease and making the session fun. I needed a professional headshot to accompany a college alumni nomination application. Interestingly, the best photo was the one where he altered the background lighting to be more "artistic". All the pictures he captured turned out very well and now I can update photos on all my professional accounts. THANK YOU, Chris.

I wasn’t sure where to get a professional headshot around this area. I went to google and found Chris. He did not disappoint! Very genuine and kind guy. We had a lot of good conversation and the pictures are fantastic! Highly recommend him to anyone for a great experience and photos.

Chris has been a client, and in a few years he’s become a great friend. Dependable, consistent, respectful and very professional are a few adjectives to describe him. Our team has recently completed a company photoshoot with his company and he was amazing. He loves his work and it shows through his excitement to be behind the camera and his finished product. For corporate headshots to personal shots, he’s your man. Thanks for a wonderful shoot with my team, Chris!

The most amazing photoshoot I have ever had. Chris is so professional and very sweet. The photos came out stupendous. I am very impressed with his work and will be returning in the future for more photoshoots.

Stop! You have found the place for your pictures 🤩 Chris will make it worth the adventure. I required some urgent headshots and he went above and beyond. His expertise will ease your worries and your nerves (I know I was 😅). Very professional and a caring personality. He will make sure your pictures are uniquely tied to your needs and surpass your expectations. I didn’t know exactly what to wear and he was able to pick the winning outfits very quickly. He is so organized and very easy to communicate with. He provides information beforehand for you to be ready and is always open to any questions. Thank you again Chris for a wonderful time 🙌🙏
