Headshot Photography

Make a Lasting Impression

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a corporate professional, an artist, or anyone looking to enhance your online presence, a high-quality headshot is essential.

 

Why Do You Need a Headshot?

 

In today's digital age, your online presence is often the first point of contact for potential clients, employers, or collaborators. Your headshot is that first impression that can open doors to exciting opportunities. A carefully crafted headshot goes far beyond just being a picture; it's a visual statement of your professionalism, approachability, and personal brand.

Here's why you need a compelling headshot:

 

First Impressions Matter: Your headshot is often the first thing people see when they visit your website or social media profiles. A polished and professional headshot sets the tone for your brand and leaves a positive first impression.

 

Build Trust and Credibility: A well-crafted headshot conveys trustworthiness and credibility. It shows that you take your professional image seriously and transmit confidence in your audience.

 

Enhance Your Personal Brand: Your headshot is a reflection of your personal brand. It should align with your industry, values, and the image you want to project to the world.

 

Stand Out from the Crowd: In competitive industries, a standout headshot can make you memorable. It's an opportunity to showcase your unique personality and differentiate yourself from others.

 

Boost Your Online Presence: A professional headshot is essential for LinkedIn profiles, business websites, email signatures, and other online platforms. It humanizes your online presence and encourages engagement.

I love using slow shutter speed to show what we feel, not just what we see.
The softness, the movement, the breath of a moment that refuses to sit still.

Not every photo needs to be sharp to be beautiful.
Sometimes blur tells the story better than anything else. 🤍

How do these make you feel? I’d love to know.
There’s a beauty in the in-between, before you meet your baby, while you’re still holding her safely beneath your heart.

This season slips by quietly. You think you’ll remember every kick, every turn, every whispered moment… but time softens the details faster than we expect.

My maternity sessions are about remembering, how it felt to be becoming her.

The woman your child will one day call “Mama.”🤍

If you’ve been meaning to book your maternity photos, this is your gentle reminder: my calendar fills a few weeks ahead, so now is the perfect time to secure your date, calmly, without rush.

For all December bookings, I’m gifting a fine-art matted print (worth £100), a small reminder of your strength, delivered with your artwork.

Reserve your maternity session this month, so you can remember yourself this way, before everything changes.

There are things we feel as mums that we never say out loud.

The little things we feel but never put into words, the hopes, the fears, the tiny memories that slip away faster than we expect.

One day our children will want to know our story too. The real one. The one written from the heart.

Letters to My Baby is a free space to keep those thoughts safe.

A little journal you can fill in whenever life slows down for a moment.

Something to treasure now and pass on later.

Would you consider to write a letter to your little one?
Being behind the camera is my natural place and stepping in front of it always feels a little strange.

I often take self portraits, not just to see myself differently but to remind myself what you feel when it is your turn. The wobble, the overthinking, the instinct to hide. All of it.

But this portrait was taken by someone else, the incredible Charlie Gray @charliegraystudio. Trusting another person to photograph me and my story felt new and slightly uncomfortable, yet also freeing.

And it reminded me why I love what I do.

Because I understand how vulnerable it feels.
I know what it is to want to look like yourself and not a performance of yourself.
I know the tiny shift that happens when you finally relax and let yourself be seen.

Women deserve photos that feel honest, gentle, and true. Photos that show the person behind the roles and the noise.

If you have been thinking about stepping in front of the camera again, even after years, I hope this feels like a small sign. 🤍

Do you like being photographed, or do you absolutely avoid it? I am curious.
It’s so easy to slip into comparison, especially online.

But comparison steals the joy from your own journey.

Check in on others with kindness,
and check in on yourself with the same softness.

Wishing you a slow, nurturing weekend. 🤍
