Connecting with your audience is powerful if it's done in an authentic, meaningful way.
Headshots are your first impression to the world - they represent you in a professional capacity.
Your headshot should work for you, be unique and make things happen. It should encourage your ideal clients or potential employers to engage with you.

From CEO’s and board members to linked In profile photos and actor headshots - Here are some my favourite clients.
So if you are looking for a photographer that gets you and for images that will help you stand out from the crowd…. Let’s chat and see where we can take your business.
Getting great headshots takes a little bit of effort. Read on for my top tips for getting right……
Firstly, invest in what you can afford - a profile photo should be good for around 5 years.
Select some photos you like from Pinterest to send to your photographer if you have a certain style you want to replicate. Just make sure to communicate it your photographer.
Make sure to book any hair or beauty appointments in advance of your session to avoid your photographers having to do touch ups on regrowth or chipped nail polish etc
Allow 3 hours for your headshot session - 1.5 for make up and hair and 1.5 for your photos. Ideally both indoor and outdoor headshots should be taken.
Bring at least 3 changes of wardrobe. A selection of business wear and casual attire. Stay away from busy patters and stripes. Think about complimentary colours, and flattering necklines - do not wear baggy, or ill-fitting clothing.
Make sure your clothes are pressed and clean and try on any new purchases before photoshoot.
The thought of a photoshoot can be a stressful experience, especially with a studio set up. I can't tell you how many times I've had people say they are not comfortable and they look terrible in photos. It's normal to feel this way..... Please do not stress a good photographer will always make sure to guide their clients through every step of the process - they'll tell you exactly what to do with your hands, how to pose, what angle works better all while keeping an eye out for stray hairs and wardrobe malfunctions. Playing music in the background, casual conversation a few jokes and compliments will make sure that you feel more relaxed and comfortable during the shoot. Also looking fab after your session with the hair and make up artist doesn't hurt ;)
After your session you should expect to be presented with a gallery of images to choose from. Your images should then be retouched including adjustments to skin texture, removing any imperfections, adding brightness to teeth, hair editing, outfit adjustments, body sculpting (if needed), background corrections. If there is anything that you would like your photographer to edit please let them know - they want you to LOVE your images.
You can then expect your high resolution digital files to be delivered to you via Drop box or We transfer. Remember to download immediately and save to your hard drive.
Upload your various images to your social channels - if your photographer has done a good job you will have a great selection to choose from. If you Love your images please credit your photographer - referrals and testimonials are the best way to say thank you.
Now sit back and enjoy the compliments!
