I always suggest wearing something that you feel really comfortable and confident wearing. rather than feeling awkward in a suit just for a headshot perhaps wear something you go out in? Today’s cameras don’t really have issues with any type of clothing so feel free to wear whatever you like. If you’d like more advice on preparing for a session I have a welcome pack for new appointments or you can check my blog for my best tips
99% of my clients feel very similarly to you! Everyone is different and everyone has their own reasons to feel uncomfortable but you’re definitely not alone. My advice is to practice taking your own picture as much as possible. The more you do, the more natural it feels. When you book with me you also get plenty of time to work on your images, at least 45 mins for a basic headshot. We will review images as they’re made and try new things until we find what works for you. There’s no judgement whatsoever, I’m here to help you get the best result.
The total amount of photographs depends on your package. Starting with 3 fully edited images for a basic headshot to over 40 for the pro packages and unlimited amounts for events. Typically images are delivered in 2 days for events, 3-5 days for headshots and upto two weeks for more complex work like Weddings and Branding Packages.
You can get extra images in each package for £10 per image and you can also get express editing depending on the current schedule and the service provided.
