In this video I’ll talk you through exactly how a headshot session with me will go.
If you still have any questions though please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

So once you’ve booked you in it’s time to get ready for shoot day!
If you haven’t already had a copy of my complete guide to preparing for your headshot – you’ll receive a copy by email now.
Selecting your outfits is really an important step…if you have any doubts or just want to run outfits by me just take a snap of it and send it over and I’ll let you know what I think.
I’ll send you by email a checklist of things I think you should bring with you on the day that’ll make your life easier.
If you’ve decided that you want to have a hair/makeup artist with you and you’ve booked your own, you’ll need to let me have their details for insurance purposes etc. and I’ll drop them a line to see if they need anything special in the studio.
You’ll notice when you booked a standard headshot session the booking is for 2 hours, but a shoot rarely last that long.
So why so much extra time – stress removal that’s the reason for so many of the choices that we make. Of course I want you to be on time but if you’ve booked a hair and makeup person they’ll need time to work on you.
If your baby pukes on you as you’re about to leave the house I want you to know that it’s OK to fire me a text that say’s you’ll be 10 minutes late, this extra time has been accounted for.
If you arrive in a whirlwind of stress I want you to have time in the studio to grab a coffee, calm down and let the colour of your face return to normal before we start.
So on the day when you arrive, I’ll be ready for you but we’ll rarely go straight in to shooting, unless you’ve told me that’s what you need/want. You’ll have time to unpack your paraphernalia hang up outfit changes so that they don’t get crushed in bags etc.
A fun, relaxed, stress free experience is the aim.
I’ll take a lot of images during the shoot! And I mean a lot…and as a headshot customer you get to see them all even the ones where you blinked or pulling strange faces! These will be the uneditied images straight out of camera and not been anywhere near photoshop…they are the architects plans but certainly not the building.
I’ll upload all the images to an online gallery and from the comfort of your home I’ll ask you to go through all the images and add the ones that you want fully edited as part of your package to a list in the gallery and I’ll get to editing them for you. If you decide you want extras you can order them from that stage.
If you prefer me to choose though and some people do as judging images of yourself isn’t always easy then you can skip this step and jump straight to step 5.
About 3 weeks after you confirm your final selection you’ll get an email from me with a link to a new gallery, from where you can download your high resolution digital files.
And if you need any prints you can order them from here too
