A little preparation goes a long way – do make sure to familiarise yourself with my FAQs. Should you have other specific questions about anything else – get in contact.

Quick discussion (over a cuppa) – a brief chat before we start is always a good idea. My studio is also on the top floor, so it’ll give you time to catch your breath! Complimentary tea/coffee is available upon request. If you have previously had Headshots taken, we’ll take a look at them on the screen – to see where we’re starting from: why they might not suit your current needs, any specific ideas/thoughts on what you’d like from this session, and opportunity to ask any other questions that you might have. If you haven’t, not to worry – you’re in safe hands!

Please turn up prepped and ready to go. This is your time in the Studio and I’m here to accommodate you, but that time is far better spent in front of the camera than the mirror. That said, a few moments making sure everything looks prim and proper before we start is a mus

Time to unroll your immaculately ironed items of clothing, lay everything out/hang it all up, and talk through a plan of action. Feel free to bring as many items of clothing as you like. We may not use it all, but it’s far more beneficial to bring too much than too little!

Note: More in-depth advice about clothing can be found in the FAQsFAQs.

The way I work is to shoot through conversation. There will be positional guidance and direction throughout, but the main aim is to capture the real you. The best way this is done is to chat – so if you’re able to talk, there’s really nothing to worry about! For most of you out there I do understand that being in front of a camera is most probably not too high on your list of things you find enjoyable, however necessary a good headshot may be (answer: very necessarily) But again, anyone can have a conversation, so try not to worry. The 60 minutes will fly by and before you know it you’ll have an expressive, well-lit, professionally re-touched Headshot for LinkedIn/Website before you know it. I dare say you may even enjoy the process!

Everything is digital so there is no need to be precious of burning through film! I shoot a lot in the allied time you’ll have with me. Headshot Sessions tend to end up with around 300+ shots on file. After the session is completed an initial cull is made, and from there around 100-200 images are uploaded to your Workflow account. Everything is Colour-Graded first (to give you a feel for the final image) From here you can select the 3 images you’d like edited.

How to choose – show these pictures to friends, family and colleagues. Once you’ve made your decision via Photo Workflow, you’ll receive the retouched images, full frame and cropped to 10×8 within 5-7 working days.

All images remain on file for 12 months, if you’d like to order any others during this period, simply log into your account and purchase them directly from there for £50 each.

Simple symbiosis – as a mutual back scratch, if you spread the word with others and they book in a session, you’ll receive an extra edit of your choosing (for each new client), free of charge – worth £50. Wonderful, job done.
