What to expect
Before your session
We start with a quick chat, over the phone or by email, about what you need: where the photos will be used, how many looks you want, background colour and whether your company has guidelines for staff photos. If we're matching existing team photos, send me a sample and I'll match the look.
On the day
My sessions run like a conversation, not a photoshoot. I direct you the whole way, so you're never left wondering what to do. A single headshot takes ten to fifteen minutes. Personal brand sessions run longer, with time for outfit changes in the private dressing room, and hair and makeup first if you've added it.
Choosing your images
Your photos go into a private online gallery within 24 hours. Pick your favourites in your own time, then I retouch your selection by hand. The retouching is subtle, smoothing blemishes and softening lines, so you still look like you on a good day.
Receiving your images
Your final images are delivered digitally within 24 hours of your selection, at high resolution for print and sized for web and LinkedIn.
How to prepare
Think about where the images will be used, print, website or LinkedIn, as it affects the crop and background we choose
White backgrounds look clean and give designers room to add text. Darker backgrounds feel more premium. We'll talk through both
Darker clothing generally photographs better, and bring a couple of options, there's a private dressing room with a mirror and hair dryer
If you're getting a haircut, do it three to four days before the session
For team bookings, give your staff plenty of notice and let them know the dress code in advance
