New Year, New Headshot

Professional Headshot Photography for Individuals & Corporate Teams

The new year is the ideal time to refresh your professional image — and for most people, that starts with their headshot.

Your headshot is often the first impression you make online. Whether it appears on LinkedIn, your company website, a press article, or a speaker bio, it represents you before you ever walk into the room. A modern, professional headshot signals confidence, credibility, and relevance — all before a single conversation takes place.

If your current headshot no longer reflects how you look, your role, or your brand, it’s time for an update.

⸻

Professional Headshot Photography – Overview

If you’re looking for a professional headshot photographer, I specialise in modern, natural headshots for individuals, teams, and businesses across the UK.

I provide:

• Professional headshots for LinkedIn and business profiles

• Corporate headshot photography for teams and leadership groups

• Studio and on-location headshot sessions

• Relaxed, guided sessions for people who don’t enjoy being photographed

Every session is designed to create headshots that feel authentic, confident, and current — not stiff or overly corporate.

⸻

Why Your Headshot Matters More Than Ever

In today’s digital-first world, people will often see your photo before they meet you. Clients, employers, collaborators, and journalists routinely check LinkedIn profiles and company websites before making decisions.

A strong professional headshot helps to:

• Build trust quickly

• Reinforce your personal or corporate brand

• Improve engagement on LinkedIn

• Present consistency across websites, social media, and PR

• Support career progression and business growth

An outdated or poorly lit image can quietly undermine even the strongest professional credentials.

⸻

Modern Corporate Headshots (Not Stiff or Awkward)

Corporate headshot photography has changed. The days of rigid poses and forced smiles are long gone.

My approach to professional and corporate headshots focuses on:

• Natural expressions

• Clean, flattering lighting

• Subtle direction to help you feel relaxed

• Headshots that look professional without feeling cold

This results in images that feel approachable, confident, and suitable for modern businesses.

⸻

Who Should Update Their Professional Headshot?

Professional headshots are essential for:

• Business owners and entrepreneurs

• Corporate professionals and executives

• Company teams updating website profiles

• Freelancers, consultants, and creatives

• Anyone active on LinkedIn or professional platforms

If you’ve recently changed roles, launched a business, refreshed your branding, or your headshot is more than two or three years old, updating it is a smart investment.

⸻

Studio and On-Location Headshot Sessions

Headshot photography sessions are available:

• In studio

• At your office or workplace

• On location anywhere in the UK

For businesses, photographing teams on location ensures consistency while keeping disruption to a minimum. Individual sessions are relaxed, efficient, and tailored to how you want to present yourself professionally.

⸻

What Makes These Headshots Different?

Many people worry they “aren’t photogenic” or feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. That’s completely normal.

My role is to guide you through the process, helping you feel at ease and confident so your headshot looks like the best version of you, not a forced version.

The focus is always on:

• Making you feel comfortable

• Capturing natural expressions

• Delivering images that work across all professional platforms

⸻

Common Questions About Professional Headshots

What should a professional headshot look like?

A professional headshot should be well-lit, sharp, natural, and reflect how you currently look. It should feel confident and approachable while remaining professional.

How often should I update my headshot?

Most professionals should update their headshot every 2–3 years, or sooner if their appearance, role, or brand has changed.

Is a professional headshot worth it?

Yes. A professional headshot improves first impressions, credibility, and consistency across LinkedIn, company websites, press features, and marketing materials.

⸻

Why Book a Headshot Session at the Start of the Year?

The beginning of the year is when many professionals update their LinkedIn profiles, websites, and marketing materials. A new headshot supports:

• Career progression and new roles

• Business development and sales

• PR opportunities and speaking engagements

• A consistent, confident online presence

It’s a small change that delivers long-term value.
