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.
If you have a teenager who is looking for some headshots, you may wish to look at my headshot information page. Or contact me to discuss further. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.

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 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.

Business Photographer Surrey
I was so pleased to received a phone call from Phonic Books who were looking for a Surrey business photographer. They wanted to capture a group of school children reading their wonderful range of reading books.
Phonic Books Ltd is a small company specialising in publishing decodable books for beginner and catch-up readers. Founded by three special needs teachers passionate about teaching all children to read. They set about developing phonic reading books for young children and older, struggling readers. Following demand from customers, the range has extended to over 298 today and is continuing to grow. The range of books caters for pupils in Nursery and Foundation Stage to Age 14+ reluctant readers in secondary school. With a growing reputation for quality and effectiveness, their books are now widely used. For example by schools, tutors and parents in the UK and 40 countries around the world.
We had a fabulous group of children all eager to be captured getting stuck in to these engaging books and games. It was very easy to photograph them as they were genuinely enjoying the stories. The only problem was interrupting their reading to ask them if we could photograph them in a different location around the school. They couldn’t wait to get back to the books! The children were such a credit to the school. Furthermore they were impeccably behaved, very smiley and happy to be at school for an extra 2 hours!
Thoughts after their session
I had a very kind review after the session ‘We recently worked with Nicola on a campaign to introduce an element of photography into our website. Our remit was to capture some images of children engaged in reading our books. Nicola’s work was outstanding. She worked with such energy and enthusiasm with the children and was positive and creative throughout the whole process of taking this initiative from an idea to a reality. I very much hope to have the opportunity to work with her again and would have no hesitation in recommending her.’ Thank you so much, it was my pleasure and am so glad you love the pictures. I do hope we can do another shoot together!

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.
