Is Your Headshot Still Working for You?
Is Your Headshot Still Working for You?
Your professional headshot is one of the most-used images you own — and often one of the most overlooked.
It appears on LinkedIn, company websites, email signatures, press articles, speaker bios, and internal platforms. Long before a meeting, pitch, or introduction, your headshot is already shaping first impressions.
If your photo no longer reflects how you look, your role, or your confidence, it may quietly be holding you back.
Professional Headshot Photography – What I Do
I provide professional headshot photography for individuals, teams, and businesses across the UK, creating modern, natural images designed for today’s professional platforms.
My work focuses on:
LinkedIn and professional profile headshots
Corporate headshots for teams and leadership
On-location sessions
Relaxed direction for people who don’t enjoy being photographed
The aim is simple: headshots that look confident, approachable, and current — without feeling stiff or over-produced.
Why Headshots Date Faster Than You Think
Unlike other branding assets, headshots age quickly.
Subtle changes in:
Hairstyle
Glasses
Weight or posture
Confidence and presence
Seniority or role
can make a photo taken just a few years ago feel out of step with who you are now.
A professional headshot should look like you on your best day, not a reminder of how you used to look.
First Impressions Are Made Before You Arrive
It’s now standard practice for people to check LinkedIn or company websites before:
Meetings
Interviews
Pitches
Media opportunities
Speaking engagements
Your headshot is part of that decision-making process.
A strong, professional image builds trust immediately.
An outdated or casual one can introduce doubt — even subconsciously.
Modern Headshots for Modern Professionals
Professional headshots no longer need to feel rigid or uncomfortable.
My approach to headshot photography is:
Calm and efficient
Clearly guided (you’re never left wondering what to do)
Focused on natural expression
Designed to feel professional, not corporate clichés
This is especially important for people who feel camera-shy or say they “hate having their photo taken”.
Who This Is For
This style of professional headshot photography is ideal for:
Business owners and founders
Corporate professionals and executives
Consultants and freelancers
Creative and agency professionals
Companies updating team profile photos
Whether you’re refreshing your LinkedIn profile or updating an entire website, consistency and quality matter.
On-Location Headshot Sessions
At your office or workplace
On location anywhere in the UK
For businesses, on-site headshots minimise disruption while ensuring a consistent look across teams. Individual sessions are efficient, relaxed, and tailored to how you want to present yourself professionally.
Common Headshot Questions
How often should a professional headshot be updated?
Most professionals update their headshot every 2–3 years, or sooner if their appearance, role, or confidence has changed.
Do I need a different headshot for LinkedIn and my website?
Often one strong, versatile headshot works across multiple platforms when photographed and cropped correctly.
Is a professional headshot really worth it?
Yes. It supports credibility, trust, and consistency across every professional touchpoint where people encounter you.
When Is the Right Time to Update Your Headshot?
If you’re asking the question, it’s probably now.
A new role, growing confidence, business development goals, or simply wanting to look more like yourself online are all good reasons to update your image.
A professional headshot is a small investment with long-term impact.

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.

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

My approach to professional and corporate headshots focuses on:
• Natural expressions
• Clean, flattering lighting

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

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.
⸻

Headshot photography sessions are available:
• In studio
• At your office or workplace
• On location anywhere in the UK

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
