Why do headshots make people uncomfortable?

 

 

Why do headshots make people uncomfortable?

 

My sessions are not about applying a professional mask, but showing who you are. The idea of sitting posed in front of a white background in a suit like everyone else, is not for you. And this is why the idea of headshots makes most people uncomfortable. They do not see themselves in the image.


I work with you to create images that feel authentic to who you are, bringing you to the forefront and ensuring a relaxed shoot that builds confidence.

Who am I?

American-born, Essex-based portrait photographer specialising in headshots and family photography. Working across Essex and London.


I was introduced to photography by my grandfather, a Southern Baptist minister, who would marry members of his congregation, then take their wedding photos and develop them in his bathroom at home.


Lucky for my partner, we have digital cameras these days.

"It was my first time having a photo shoot on location instead of at a studio. It was such a pleasure to work with her from the start. From  selecting a location, to advising on styling and make-up for the day, she made the experience one to remember. She talked me through posing naturally and by the end of the session, there were so many great shots to choose from. I had so much fun!"

"I was writing to say a huge thank you for Friday. I had so much fun and felt so beautiful and I have just gone through the selections. I wanted to choose all of them but I stopped at 20. I can't wait to see the final edits and post them! Thanks once again and I hope we can do this again with you because it was so much fun!"
