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.

LinkedIn headshots Surrey

Are you looking to apply for new jobs? Or using LinkedIn to network? Having a really stand out headshot for your LinkedIn profile means that those viewing several profiles within a short space of time are more likely to remember yours. An eye-catching professional headshot gives that all important first impression.

When you first get in touch, I like to chat to you about exactly where you will be using the headshots. Each of the social media platforms requires a slightly different look. So we work together to create the perfect image for you.

The process

On the day you’re welcome to bring a change of clothes. This helps to create a different look for your shots and add some versatility. We work together on different expressions because you might find that you’re trying to create a variety of impressions. We take the pictures mostly in the garden of the studio as it has some interesting backgrounds and beautiful light. But we can do some more traditional plainer backgrounds if you prefer. The shooting element of the morning takes about 30 minutes, during which I’ll keep showing you pictures on the back of the camera so that you can make sure we’re on track with achieving your requirements. After the shoot we load all of the images up onto the big screen and go through them together to choose your final three digital files that I will edit in front of you.

The package costs £150. If you wish to buy additional files to the three that are included, they are £35 each.

If you would like to see further examples of headshots, please see my information page. Or contact me here. I look forward to hearing from you.

It was lovely to meet this lady who was looking for a headshot photographer Dorking to capture her for business purposes. Understandably most people aren’t quite sure what to expect if they have never had a professional photography session before. So I think it’s important to talk you through how it all works before you arrive so you can be best prepared. This includes clothing choices of course. This beautiful lady sought the assistance of a friend to narrow down her final outfit choices. You are welcome to have a change of clothing, it’s fun to mix it up a bit and add variety. I also like to look at different backdrops that will suit your clothing. It all adds up to creating a standout portrait especially for you.

My client said after this session “Thank you for a lovely morning. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did!” 

That’s what I like to hear! It really was my pleasure.

I was so happy to read her 5* review on google: ‘I had the most wonderful couple of hours and loved every minute of it! Like most people, I am not fond of being photographed but Nicola made me feel at ease from the start. Thank you for the excellent, professional photos.”

If you would like to read more about my headshot sessions, follow the link, or contact me to discuss further. If you are looking for a headshot photographer Dorking, I’d be delighted to chat through what you’re looking for and how I can best suit your needs.

Headshot Photographer Haslemere Surrey

Gosh aren’t the months flying by this year! Suddenly it’s July and the children are breaking up and we are busy planning what to do in the summer holidays. It will be a mixture of working and fun with the children. Which can seem rather chaotic at times, but now that the children are 10 and 8 it certainly gets easier!

Before we broke up I was delighted to be able to help this lovely lady who was looking for some updated headshots for business purposes. What a really delightful time we had together. After chatting about her needs, we talked about her line of business. Then we talked about how best to express her personality through the headshots.

It took around two hours in all to take the pictures, view them to narrow down to her favourites, then edit them in front of her.

Kind review

I was so happy to read her 5* google review. “Nicola made me feel comfortable straight away and throughout the shoot. I really appreciate that she took so many shots and helped me narrow down the options. I couldn’t be happier with the final headshots. Thanks Nicola!” 

My pleasure, I really enjoyed our session. If you are looking for a headshot photographer Haslemere do get in touch to discuss your needs. If you’d like to see other examples of headshots see this page. Alternatively contact me to discuss exactly what you’re looking for.

I really enjoyed meeting this professional business lady. She who was looking for a Haslemere headshot photographer to capture her for her business. Like most people who approach me for headshots, there was a certain amount of nervous anticipation. However I always try to put you at your ease by talking you through the process on the phone. This helps to answer any questions you might have. For example this might include what to wear, what to bring and how long the session will take. You are so welcome to ask as many questions as you like. Above all we want to be prepared and relaxed on the day of your headshot session.

I was pleased to hear from this lady after her session to say she. ‘Enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would!’ Which is of course the perfect outcome!

5* google review

I was also thrilled to read a 5* review she left for me on google reviews. ‘Having avoided the camera for years I really was not looking forward to the session. However, Nicola was lovely, put me at my ease. The resultant head shots were great and just what I needed. The whole experience was easy and relaxed.’

Thanks you so much, it was my pleasure!

If you are looking for a Haslemere headshot photographer or other areas in Surrey, I would love to hear from you. I tend to do the headshots in the garden of my studio but am happy to travel to your home or work place if you prefer. Some people like to incorporate headshots with a ‘behind the brand’ story session to include some shots of you at work rather like these examples of a local framer and a holistic practitioner.

It was great to be chosen as the headshot photographer Cobham. For this lovely lady who wanted some updated headshots for work purposes.

As with all clients we had a chat about what to wear before she came in for her headshot session. As you can see below it’s good to have a variety of outfits so that the pictures are versatile and more interesting when you’re not just wearing the same outfit. Usually people might bring four or five tops and we can look through them to see which colours are working best with your hair and skin tones. You may wish to consider some more formal and casual outfits.

All these pictures were taken in the studio garden, there are lots of interesting backgrounds to choose from. By taking the pictures in the garden, this allows us to upload the pictures straight away so you can see them all in one session. I have some great software to allow you to see all the pictures, and choose your favourite three or more if you prefer. If you wish to have the pictures taken at a location of your choice, that is no problem. Some people prefer to have the pictures taken in their home or office space etc.

If you would like to read more about headshot sessions please see my information page. There are also plenty of examples of sessions on my headshot blog section. Or contact me to chat further. I look forward to hearing from you.

It was great to help out this lovely business woman. She was looking for a Cobham headshot photographer. This was to help her create some standout headshots that would be useful for her website.

During the session we made sure that the pictures we were taking fitted the design for her website. There were some very specific needs in terms of orientation. These included some portrait, some landscape and some very panoramic options. You will see below the final results. These were then tested, after editing, to make sure they fitted the purpose exactly.

Kind 5* Review

I was thrilled to read this 5* review after her session: “So pleased with the photos Nicola took today. Especially in addition, for her help in choosing which images to use on my website. Thank you!”

It was my absolute pleasure, thank you for choosing me to take your headshots. I really enjoyed chatting through your needs, and working together to make sure that we got exactly what you were looking for.

I really enjoy helping people all over Surrey. Everyone has different needs so each session is tailored to you. Maybe you are looking for a ‘meet the maker session’. These days people choose a brand because they are looking not just for a fabulous product but also some personality behind the brand.  We all want to see behind the scenes and ‘meet the maker’ particularly for independent brands. So you just can’t hide behind your logo these days! So get out there and be seen!

If after reading this blog post, you would like to read more about headshot sessions with me. Please see my headshot page. If you would like to chat further please do contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Are you looking for a business portrait photographer Guildford? I would be delighted to help you achieve your full potential. A stand out headshot literally does that – makes you stand out in a busy crowd! This is increasingly more important on platforms such as social media including LinkedIn. First impressions count so a professional headshot gets you off to a great start!

I really enjoyed being the business portrait photographer for this lovely man from Guildford. We took time to take the portraits in the garden, ensuring we had some complimentary backgrounds for two different shirts. We then uploaded the pictures on to the big screen and went through them selecting his favourites and editing them in front of him.

I was thrilled to read his 5* review after: “I was delighted with the fantastic selection of head shots taken by Nicola. Her garden studio is the ideal setting and she did a great job of some final retouching afterwards. They’ve made a world of difference to my Linkedin profile by adding exactly the right touch of professionalism. I should have done this a long time ago!”

My pleasure, I am so glad you love your portraits, it really was my pleasure.

Children’s Headshots Surrey

I really enjoy adult and children’s headshot sessions.  I always find them to be quite varied. They do much depend on what you are looking for. We usually start with chatting about what you’re going to use the pictures for. For example quite often for children the pictures are used for acting portfolios which was the case for this boy from Surrey.

We usually work through a range of expressions from a more serious, to thoughtful and more fun. It’s good to have a range of looks when you are putting together a portfolio so that you can show your versatility.  We usually have a change of clothes as well to mix it up. It’s amazing how different a child can look in a change of outfits.

I usually undertake the children’s headshots in the garden of a home studio, but I am open to suggestions if you would rather do the photoshoot elsewhere.

This little boy’s Mum was thrilled with the headshots and very excited to be showing them to his agent. Good luck for the future!

If you are looking for a children’s headshot photographer in Surrey please do get in contact to chat further. Please do you see my headshot information page or previous blog post. I look forward to hearing from you.
