If you are looking for a professional headshot photographer in Surrey I would love to help you. I also cover South London, Berkshire and other surrounding counties. Although I do most of the headshots in my studio garden in Guildford. I’m always happy to travel to your home or business. You might wish me to capture you at you place of work. Maybe crafting your products. People love to ‘meet the maker’ behind the brand.

I really enjoyed meeting sisters Katharine and Elizabeth Corr (corrsisters.com) who are acclaimed authors of ‘The Witch’s Kiss’ and ‘The Witch’s Tears’. The sisters wanted some new profile pictures both together and individually to use on their website, social media and for publicity etc. We had a really great time and I am thrilled with the results!

Their thoughts

Katharine said after ‘Right from the moment we arrived, Nicola made us feel relaxed and welcome. She spent plenty of time getting a variety of excellent shots and then making us look like the best versions of ourselves. There were even chocolate biscuits to nibble during the editing process! The whole experience was very enjoyable, and we’re delighted with our new author photos.’ Thank you for your kind words, it was my pleasure, I really enjoyed meeting you both! Best of luck with the launch of your new book this year.

I really enjoy being a professional headshot photographer Woking Surrey, Berkshire and other surrounding counties.  I was so pleased to be able to help Woking teenager Lydia with some headshots for her Spotlight portfolio. During an initial phone call on Tuesday night, Lydia explained she had a fast approaching deadline.  Could I help with a last minute shoot on Wednesday! I quickly checked my diary and shuffled a fe things about! Forward planning is good, but last minute can sometimes be accommodated too.

On arriving at Lydia’s home, first of all we had a chat about what Lydia was looking for. Then I had a scout about for some interesting backgrounds in her garden. Thankfully we had some beautiful light too! We then looked through Lydia’s wardrobe and thought about hair styles.  This thought process is important as we want to come up with a variety of different looks for the portraits. This can be from the serious, happy to thoughtful. It’s important to show how versatile you are and to allow your personality to shine through. We want to grab the attention of your viewer.

There are a selection of the portraits below, including the four final edited shots that were Lydia’s favourites!

Kind review

I had a lovely email from Lydia after. “You made the whole experience so enjoyable and I absolutely love the final results. You were so professional and helpful and it was a pleasure having you take my photos. Thank you. ”

My pleasure Lydia, best of luck with the castings and keep in touch to let me know how it’s going!

I really enjoy being a professional headshot photographer Guildford, Surrey and other surrounding counties. I was very pleased to be asked to take some headshots for local businessman Andy. He is based in Cranleigh in Surrey, which is very handy as that is where I am too. He was looking for some profile pictures for his website, LinkedIn etc. As you can see, it’s great to have a clothes change. Clients often bring several outfits. I am happy to do a video call with your prior to your shoot. We can look at what to bring. Alternatively bring quite a few clothes and we can go through them on the day. We also  switch up the backgrounds so that we end up with a wide variety to different looks to suit different purposes. Perhaps a softer background for casual clothes.

It’s always a pleasure to meet interesting men and women who are looking for some beautiful portraits to use in a variety of ways. I’ve had authors wanting a picture for their book jackets, actors and musicians for auditions. In addition professionals for interviews and websites and people looking for a gorgeous picture for dating websites!

I really enjoy being a professional headshot photographer in Surrey, Berkshire and other surrounding counties. I was very pleased to be asked to take a professional headshot for local business women Klara and Mel. They set up from Marketing Lab who are based in Cranleigh in Surrey. Marketing Lab offer Marketing Support services such as digital marketing, PR and advice on blogging!  It was such fun meeting them. We really enjoyed our morning together and just look how professional and fabulous they look! Klara and Mel understand the importance of making a good first impression.  Which all starts with having a stand out headshot picture on your website or Linked in.

Their blog

The ladies blogged about the session after which included ‘Thankfully it didn’t take us long to find a photographer whose work and style appealed to us both.  What we didn’t know before we embarked on this process was that a good photographer will help you so much. They advise and guide you through what to wear and how to stand. They should ask questions that let them understand the look and feel of what you are trying to achieve with the shots and your brand. All of which was invaluable advice for us. So despite our worst fears of how the morning would go! It was really fun and we felt very relaxed all of which made for some fantastic shots, which we felt were far better at reflecting us and what we do than anything we had before.”

A great write up thanks ladies, I think that’s a wrap!

I really enjoyed doing this headshot photography Guildford session last week. One of my specialities is actor’s headshot photography, particularly children. I love getting different expressions and working on capturing the real you. I often work through different emotions with the actors, thinking about different things to get a variety of expressions. For example I might ask someone to ‘think of a secret’ or imagine ‘eating their favourite food’! I had a lovely time meeting Tom last week for his headshot photography. This was for Guildford School of Acting (GSA) kids agency. We were so pleased with the final portraits and I am sure Tom will go far.

For Tom, and all my aspiring actors, my aim is to help you reach your highest casting potential.

What happens

I tend to do the headshot sessions in the garden of my home studio. Although I am happy to discuss a location of your choice. There are some interesting backgrounds and it enables us to be comfortable and relaxed. We get to know each other which helps me bring out your true personality. I like to work with you to produce a stand out portrait that will get any Director’s attention!

The session lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours, during which time you are welcome to have a clothes change if you like. When we feel like we have the shots we need, we go into the studio and then look through them together on a large screen. After you can decide which are your favourites and I then edit them in front of you so you have control over the level of editing/retouching you may wish to have. If on the day, you find it too tricky to decide on your favourites, (quite often!) I can do a gallery for your agent to help you choose.  The session costs £150 (gallery is an additional £25), which includes 3 digital files ready for you to use for casting directors, agents, Spotlight, social media, websites or for printing etc.

Do get in contact for more information or to chat, many thanks.
