I’m so pleased to be back out doing Children’s acting headshots Guildford and other areas in Surrey. I’ve really missed photographing the children over the last few months.
I do the headshots in the garden at the studio. However rest assured when I take the pictures I am at least two metres from you. Additionally I’m happy to wear a mask if you wish. When you view the pictures in the studio you are positioned about 3 m from me. Importantly I fully sanitise the studio between each client and I have a bathroom solely for client use. This too is cleaned after each client. Naturally your safety and well-being is of utmost importance to me.
I had such a great time taking this Guildford based child’s acting headshots. As always we take a range of pictures to show each child’s versatility. This is often helped by different expressions, change of clothing and background. Importantly this can all add to the atmosphere of each portrait.
In addition for this session we also included some mother and daughter pictures towards the end. For example these will be used in the new business venture that the mother has recently set up. Do check out
https://www.kidsinbizclub.com/I was so pleased with this lovely review afterwards.
“We had a lovely relaxing afternoon with Nicola in her garden and LOVE LOVE our photos ! Thanks Nicola – we can’t wait to show them off.”
My pleasure you have every right to want to show them off. They are gorgeous! I am sure they will get the attention of agencies and directors.

Children’s Acting Headshots Guildford // Children’s headshot Photographer Surrey
I am well known for being a headshot photographer Guildford. I have taken hundreds of professional headshots for business people, actors, musicians, writers and daters!
Each session is bespoke. We start with a conversation about what you are looking for. Sometimes people want some straightforward headshots to be used for social media or other work occasions. Others are looking for actors headshots so these need a variety of expressions to make sure we show your versatility. Authors often need a book jacket shot and other options for their social media. Alternatively online daters often want a variety of outfits in different locations to show different sides of their personality. It’s important to show them at their best to increase their chances of meeting their Mr or Mrs Right!
I tend to do the headshot sessions in the studio and the studio gardens, but it doesn’t have to be. This allows us to be comfortable with clothes changes. Afterwards we see the pictures on the big screen and you choose your favourites. I edit them in front of you. So you have full control over any retouching you would like.
A headshot session including three high resolution digital files is £150. Or you could opt for a package including session fee and 10 digital files for £300.
If you are looking for some shots of you at your work or doing your job we can talk about options. ‘Meet the maker’ sessions are very popular. This involves me taking pictures of you making your product or your service. It’s so important to share the person behind your brand. People want to engage with you. It builds trust and your relationship with your client or customer.

I really enjoy being a headshot photographer Guildford in Surrey. As a result, over the past eight years I have taken hundreds of headshots for people from all walks of life. It’s always interesting to meet new people and understand what they are looking for. There have been actors, writers, business people and daters. Everybody can make good use of a professional headshot! Maybe you are looking for a new profile picture for social media? I love updating mine every so often!
Most sessions are undertaken in the garden of the studio. There are some really nice natural backdrops and flattering light. Further more, it also means that we can see the picture straightaway on the studio big screen. This makes you very much part of the selection process. However if you would like to take the pictures somewhere else, that is no problem. Maybe you would like to be captured in your place of work or other location. Is it important to be pictured doing your job? Maybe you are a maker, so we could capture you doing your craft?
The session costs £150 and includes three digital files. You can add on additional files for £35 each or you can go for a package of 10 files for a total investment of £300.
It was fun working with this business woman who wanted some headshots for work. She was so thrilled with them that she went for the larger package of 10 files. I am sure they will come in very useful.

It was great to hear again from the Lamda teacher who approached me in early March for some children’s acting headshots Woking. This time rather than attending herself, she was sending me father and son to come in and get some acting headshots. Luckily just before we were locked down!
We started by breaking the ice with finding out more about each other which always helps us to relax. We then went through his clothes to make sure we had enough variety.
What you wear is really important so if you’re coming in for some headshots do take time to consider a variety of clothes that can give a different look to headshots. Plain clothes are best. It’s okay to have a bit of a pattern but anything too bold can overpower a portrait. Try to avoid large logos because the eye is drawn towards them rather than looking at your face. I’m always happy to do a FaceTime call prior to your shoot if you want to go through your wardrobe to make sure we’re on track for the day.
When we start to take the pictures we test out whether the pictures look better from the left or right or straight on. Sometimes people have a ‘good’ side!
Kind Review
I was so pleased to read this very kind and generous five star review on Google following the session.
“Nicola was absolutely fantastic with our son. She immediately put him completely at ease for his headshots and the resulting images are stunning. Can’t describe how pleased we are. Thank you so much Nicola.”
My pleasure, I really enjoyed it and I think the head shots are fantastic, you did a great job!
Please see my headshot information page for more information or contact me to discuss further. I look forward to hearing from you.

Professional Headshots
Are you looking for a headshot photographer Woking? I would be delighted to help you. For example I cover much of Surrey including towns like Woking, Guildford, Godalming, Dorking, Reigate and beyond.
My clients are looking for a headshot photographer for all sorts of different reasons. Quite often it is for a new headshot for job opportunities that have arisen. Alternatively it may also be for acting, for which I have done many sessions for both adults and children. Daters also come to me quite a bit looking for a few stand out shots for their profiles. I’ve even covered a wedding from somebody who met their partner online after they had pictures taken by me! Whatever your needs are, I would be happy to help. In addition I can also arrange for a make up artist to join us too.
I had a great morning with this lovely man who was looking for a selection of professional headshots that could be used on his new website. As you can see we took a variety of shots using different clothes and backgrounds to mix up the look.
I was delighted to receive an email from him after his session with these kind words.”It was lovely meeting you. Thank you for the photos. For once I look quite ‘natural’!”
Thank you very much, it really was my pleasure. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and I think your pictures will do just the job.

I enjoyed this Cobham headshot photography session late last summer. This lovely lady has a very busy life. She is a nutritionists, a running coach and is part way through studying to be a Personal Trainer.
So the brief for this Cobham headshot photography session was not only achieving some professional headshots but also getting some ‘action’ photos. These will showcase the different aspects of her work portfolio for use now and in the long term.
If you are looking for some professional headshots you may wish to see my headshot photography information page or my galleries. This will give you a flavour of my style and include more information. Headshot photography sessions start at £150 for three digital files. The sessions last about two hours which includes the shooting time, the viewing of the pictures, selection and editing. The images are then ready for your use on websites, social media, or however you wish.
Maybe you would just like to chat through options, so I would be delighted if you want to send me a message or chat on the phone.
During the current Covid-19 restrictions I can’t do headshot sessions at the studio or your place of work or home. So I’m taking bookings for mid June onwards with the understanding we can re-look at dates and restrictions nearer the time.
I do hope you’re all keeping well in these extraordinary times. Hopefully you might be reading this once everything has calmed down! I’m enjoying catching up on my blog writing during the last couple of weeks. It often gets pushed to the bottom of my list because I’m so busy shooting and editing. It’s quite fun looking back on some of last year’s shoots and sharing them.

Business Headshots
This lovely lady was looking for some updated headshots for her business profile. If you’re based in Dorking I’m happy to come to you. Or you may wish to visit me in the Cranleigh studio to take the headshots in the garden. This tends to make it easier as we can take the pictures and then straight away we can see them on the big screen to choose your favourites.
However if you’ve got your own business you may wish to have them at your place of work. This can show more of your personality and an insight into what you do like your products or services. I cover most areas in Surrey so I’m happy to talk through location options with you.
Before you come in you’ll want to consider what to wear. If your business is quite formal I suggest bringing some more formal work attire and perhaps a casual option too. If you’re using the shots for social media, acting or dating you might want to consider more casual options. I would suggest getting together with a friend for a morning to ask them what they think looks good on you if you’re not quite sure!
If you would like to have your hair done before I’m happy to make a late morning appointment so that you’ve got time to do that first. I also have a fantastic lady Lydia Allen who I can recommend for make up. She comes to my house so it’s all done in one place so nice and easy.

Teenage Headshots in Surrey
Do you have a teenager who is looking to get some headshots done? Maybe for acting, dance, social media or other job opportunities? Throughout the year I do lots of teenage headshots in Surrey most of which take place in the studio garden near Guildford in Surrey. Although I’m happy to look at other locations if you prefer.
A lot of the teenagers have quite a clear vision of what they’re looking for (although they don’t have to at all!) I work with them to get it just right for them both in the preplanning of the session and on the day. Depending on what they are going to use the headshots for, we discuss what they’re going to wear which often involves a couple of changes. This is great for mixing up their look from casual to smart. We also use a variety of different backgrounds to change the mood of the pictures.
Each session is different so I like to work with the teenager to make sure I can meet their needs, make it really fun and above all come away with some fantastic headshots.
I had a lovely email from this gorgeous girl’s mum after her session. “I just wanted to say thank you so much for yesterday! Romy is over the moon with her new headshots! We absolutely love them!” It was my pleasure. I’m so glad that you love them. It really was such fun and I wish Romy all the best in the future using her beautiful pictures.

Children’s acting headshots in Guildford, Surrey
I was excited to be approached by this delightful boy’s Lamda teacher who was looking for some children’s acting headshots Surrey. The headshots were going to be put forward to an agency that his teacher was hoping would accept him.
We worked together to get a variety of shots to show his versatility for castings. This of course included a clothes change because this can add so much to the atmosphere of a headshot. I think he looks quite different across the four shots which is just what we wanted.
Sometimes it’s quite hard to narrow it down to just a few pictures. However the benefit of doing the head shots in the studio garden means that we can upload them straight away. Consequently we view them on the big screen. We then use some really useful software to bring up several pictures at a time. This helps us narrow down the choice. This allows us to keep whittling it down to your favourites.
If you prefer I can do an online gallery of 10 head shots. This can help if you have an agent that needs to view them too.
I really enjoyed reading this generous five-star review on Google after his session.
”Thanks so much for the session. The shots are perfect and it was great to be able to get them so swiftly and professionally.”
My pleasure! I really enjoyed meeting you all and am so pleased you love your children’s acting headshots as much as I do. I’m sure he will go far. Keep in touch.

Children’s Acting Headshots Surrey
Are you looking for some headshot photography Godalming or surrounding towns like Guildford or Woking? I cover all of Surrey and further afield.
I really enjoyed capturing this lovely lady who has recently trained as a therapist. She is currently designing her website to attract new clients. She understood the need to have some professional headshot photography to help create the right impression for those landing on her site for the first time.
We worked together to get a number of headshot portraits to use across not only her website, but also across her social media which includes LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. She had a couple of clothes changes to mix up her look. It’s always a good idea to bring a few outfits to create variety. In the same way are use different backgrounds because the light can change so much and create a different atmosphere or mood for your headshot photography.
Some of these portraits were taken inside, but the majority were taken outside in the studio garden. The shooting part of the session takes about 30 minutes. Then we load all of the images onto the computer to view them on the big screen. This allows us to select the very best portraits for you which I then edit in front of you, so that by the end of the session you have your digital files ready to use.
Google Review
I had a lovely 5* review on google from this kind lady after her session. “I had a relaxed photo shoot with Nicola. She quickly assessed what I was looking for and went above and beyond to meet my expectations. Really pleased with the photos. Thank you!”
It was my pleasure! I really enjoyed meeting you. Best of luck with you new career path.
