Alex is an incredibly skilled photographer who can not only take fantastic photos, but is so kind, she makes the whole experience really enjoyable!! Having never had ‘head-shots’ taken before I was quite apprehensive but Alex was very gentle and reassuring making the process very easy. I am so pleased with the results and would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone interested in significantly improving their profile photo on LInkedIn!
"I WAS DRAWN TO ALEX'S STYLE, WHICH STRIKES THE PERFECT BALANCE BETWEEN PROFESSIONALISM AND WARMTH, JUST LIKE HER PERSONALITY"
“I highly recommend Alex if you’re looking for a new professional headshot! She absolutely understands the importance of creating strong first impressions and enhancing personal branding. I was drawn to her style, which strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth, just like her personality. The entire process was easy, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Alex again in the future”.

Choose from two different types of Professional Headshot styles –
Environmental or Studio
I offer two distinct styles for your professional headshot photography. You have the option to have your headshots taken in an environmental setting, where the natural surroundings add depth and character to your portraits. These sessions can be arranged indoors or outdoors at your home or workplace.
Alternatively, you can choose a plain-coloured studio backdrop – perfect if you’re looking for ‘one quick shot’ or aiming for consistency, especially with team photos or adding a new employee to your existing team photos. Studio headshots are available at Freshmill Offices in Haywards Heath, my home studio in Ardingly or I can bring a mobile studio setup to your preferred location. Headshot prices start from £75, please see pricing table further down the page.

Taken at your own home or workplace
Pricing from £250 for a one hour session

"ALEX IS CREATIVE, PROFESSIONAL AND VERY TALENTED"
Alex is wonderful! Creative, professional and very talented, and loads of fun. We spent two hours working together to find the best shots and angles for my professional headshots and I’m delighted with the results. She made me feel at ease, knows instinctively how to get the best out of a location and has a very knowledgeable manner that makes it clear you’re in super-safe hands. Trying to think what else I can use her for now!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHERE DO YOU WORK?
I’m based in Ardingly, near Haywards Heath, West Sussex and most of my shoots take place across Sussex, Surrey and London. I regularly work with businesses and individuals in Brighton, Crawley, Horsham, Burgess Hill, East Grinstead and Worthing providing a range of professional headshots.
Why invest in a professional headshot?
In today’s digital world, first impressions are often made online before you even meet someone in person. A professional headshot helps you stand out, showcasing you as confident, approachable, and credible. Whether for LinkedIn, company websites, press features, or marketing materials, a high-quality headshot can elevate your personal brand and ensure you make a strong impact.
For businesses, having consistent, high-quality headshots of your team fosters trust and professionalism, reinforcing your brand identity.
Investing in a professional headshot isn’t just about looking good—it’s about making the right impression and opening doors to new opportunities.
DO YOU HAVE A HEADSHOT PHOTO STUDIO
Although I don’t have a permanent headshot photo studio I use a fully equipped mobile studio that I can set up at my home in Ardingly, near Haywards Heath or bring to your home or office.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEADSHOTS AND PERSONAL BRANDING?
Professional headshots are just that – head and shoulders portraits which are ideal for putting a face to a name and updating your profile pictures on LinkedIn.
Personal branding shoots are longer and more in depth – we’ll delve deeper into your brand and bring in your personality too. You’ll come away with a wider portfolio of images to use across your online and printed media.
DO YOU HELP WITH POSING?
Most clients tell me they feel awkward about having their picture taken and don’t know how to pose. It’s my job to direct and guide you and I’ll do just that – you’re in safe hands!
