Choose which Professional Headshot Photography Session suits you

I offer two distinct styles of professional headshot photography, so you can choose the option that best suits your brand.

You may opt for environmental headshots, where your surroundings add depth and character to your portraits. These sessions can take place indoors or outdoors at your home or workplace and are ideal for creating relaxed, natural images that reflect you and your business.

Alternatively, you can choose a plain-coloured studio backdrop, perfect if you’re looking for a quick, polished update or need consistency across team photos – particularly useful when adding new employees to existing imagery.

For those needing a fast, high-quality refresh, I also run regular mini professional headshot days at Freshmill Serviced Offices in Haywards Heath.
Headshot images start from £75.

With every session, you’ll receive your purchased high-resolution digital files, ready to download and use on your website, LinkedIn, social media and printed materials. All pricing includes standard editing (colour and exposure correction and cropping). Any additional retouching or bespoke editing requests will be quoted separately.

Hearing from happy clients is one of the highlights of my work!  I pride myself on making even the most nervous clients feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera.  Here’s what they’ve said about their professional headshot sessions and experiences with me.

About your Professional Headshot Photographer

With 14 years of experience in professional headshot photography, I understand how crucial it is to create strong first impressions and enhance personal branding.  My style balances professionalism with warmth, ensuring each portrait reflects both confidence and approachability.  I pride myself on putting even the most nervous clients at ease, making the process easy and enjoyable while helping them achieve a look that perfectly aligns with their goals.  I work with individuals, teams, and businesses across Sussex and beyond, specialising in headshots and corporate photography.

I live in Ardingly with my husband, two grown-up children, and our labradoodle Barney. I love being outdoors, especially in my garden, and I’m happiest with a coffee and a slice of cake—bringing that relaxed, friendly approach to every session.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where do you work?

I’m based in Ardingly, near Haywards Heath, West Sussex, and I regularly photograph clients across Sussex, Surrey, and London. I work with businesses and individuals in Brighton, Crawley, Horsham, Burgess Hill, East Grinstead, Worthing and beyond, providing professional headshots, team photography, and personal branding sessions.

Do you have a photography studio?

Although I don’t have a permanent headshot 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.  This allows me to create professional headshots in the most convenient location for you or your team.

How long does a session last?

Individual headshot sessions usually last 20–30 minutes.

Personal branding or team sessions are longer, depending on the number of people and style of images you need.  I aim to make every session relaxed, enjoyable, and tailored to your goals.

Do you help with posing?

Most clients tell me they feel awkward in front of the camera or don’t know how to pose. It’s my job to guide you — I’ll direct and pose you throughout the session to ensure your headshots and portraits look natural, confident, and approachable. You’ll be in safe hands every step of the way.

How long until I receive my images?

I pride myself on fast delivery! Your headshot proofs are typically ready within 24 hours, so you can review your images quickly. Once you’ve selected your purchased high-resolution files, they will be delivered with standard editing applied, ready to download and use on your website, LinkedIn, social media, and printed materials. Any additional retouching requests are quoted separately.

What should I wear for my headshot or branding session?

I’ll send clothing advice before your headshot or branding session.  

What’s the difference between headshots and personal branding photography?

Professional headshots are typically head-and-shoulders portraits, perfect for putting a face to a name and updating profile pictures on LinkedIn or other professional platforms.

Personal branding photography sessions are longer and more in-depth. We focus on your personality, brand, and professional story, creating a wider portfolio of images you can use across websites, social media, and printed materials.

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.
