Professional Headshots in Whangārei: What to Expect and What They Cost

September 3, 2026

Your headshot is quietly doing a lot of work

A good headshot is often the first impression someone gets of you, on your website, your LinkedIn, a speaker bio or a pitch deck. It is worth having one that actually looks like you on a good day, not a stiff, over-lit version of yourself from five years ago. The goal is simple: you look approachable, capable and like the person people will actually meet.

What a session actually looks like

Headshots make a lot of people nervous, so I keep the whole thing relaxed and unfussy. We chat, I help you with what to do with your hands and where to look, and we work through a few natural expressions until we land the ones that feel like you. Most people are surprised by how quick and painless it is once we get going.

You can shoot in the studio for a clean, consistent look, or on location around Whangārei and Northland if you want a bit of your world in the frame. Both work well, it just depends on the feel you are after and how you will use the images.

What shapes the cost

There is no one-size-fits-all price for a headshot, because it depends on what you actually need. The main things that move it are:

  • Studio or on location, and how much time we need
  • How many final, edited images you want to walk away with
  • Retouching, from a light natural clean-up to more detailed work
  • Individual or a team, since matching a whole team's headshots is its own kind of job

The easiest way to get a straight answer for your situation is to tell me what you need it for, and I will point you to the right option. You can see current options on my headshots page or just get in touch.

Who books these

Business owners refreshing a tired website photo, teams who want everyone to match, real estate agents, tradies, consultants, creatives, and anyone stepping into something new who wants to look the part. If your current photo no longer matches the person you are now, that is the sign.

Booking one in

If you have been putting it off, take this as your nudge. Tell me a bit about what you need and where you will use it, and we will sort a time that works. Professional headshots, photography by Nimmy, based in Whangārei and covering Northland.
