The person behind the camera

Hi, I’m Drew.

I make pictures that feel like the person in them. That starts with making the person feel comfortable.

Say hello
Drew Kambeitz, photographer and founder of P8 Headshots
The short version

Third-generation photographer. People person.

I’m Drew Kambeitz, a photographer and filmmaker based in Saratoga Springs. Photography runs in the family, but the part that keeps me coming back is the person in front of the lens.

I love finding the extraordinary in an ordinary moment: the small shift in expression, the laugh after a bad joke, the confidence that shows up once you forget about the camera. My job is to make space for that and know exactly when to click.

If headshots make you nervous, you’re in good company. Most people feel that way. I’ll give you clear direction, help with clothing and locations, and keep the session moving at a pace that feels comfortable.

Let’s work together

What matters to me
“The photo should make people feel like they’ve met you—not just your LinkedIn profile.”

That’s why every session is part conversation, part collaboration, and entirely focused on how you want to show up.

Come as you are

Ready to make a photo you actually like?

I’ll take care of the light, the posing, and that awkward “what do I do with my hands?” moment.
