The experience
Nobody actually enjoys having their headshot taken. *That's my job to fix.*
Professional headshots for people and teams who want to look polished and approachable, without the stiff, corporate feel. Based in Whangārei, I photograph individuals, founders and whole teams across Northland.
A good headshot is quietly powerful. It's the first impression on your website, your LinkedIn and your proposals, and it should look like you on a good day, not a stranger in a suit.
Sessions are quick and relaxed. I direct you the whole way, show you the screen as we go, and make sure you leave with something you're genuinely happy to use.

Natural and flattering, never stiff. Good light, real expressions, and backgrounds that suit your brand.
How I work

What sets me apart
An arts-trained eye and a knack for putting nervous people at ease, so everyone looks like themselves, at their best.
If the words "photo time" make you cringe, you're in good company. I'll pose you, show you what's working on the screen as we go, and keep it light. Most people are surprised how quick and painless it turns out to be.

Investment
Simple, *upfront* pricing
Just you, or the whole team. Here's where things start.
What I Offer
Professional headshot sessions are designed to give you images that work across the places people actually see you - LinkedIn, websites, email signatures, business profiles, speaker bios, proposals, media features and social media.
Depending on the package you choose, your session may include clean studio portraits, a mix of black and white backdrop options, outfit changes, different crops, and environmental portraits that feel connected to your work.
After your session, you’ll receive a private proofing gallery where you can choose your favourite images. Your selected images are then fully edited and naturally retouched, with clean colour, flattering light and a polished finish that still feels like you.

The Essential Headshot
A quick, polished headshot session for when you need a fresh professional image without making a big thing of it.
This session is photographed in the studio using either a clean black or white backdrop. It is simple, efficient and ideal if you need an updated image for LinkedIn, your website bio, email signature, business profile or speaker listing.

- black or white backdrop
- 1 outfit
- simple posing and expression guidance
- private proofing gallery
- 2 fully retouched digital images

The Professional Refresh
A little more time and variety while still keeping the session clean and straightforward.
This session is ideal if you want a small set of images that can be used across different platforms. We can use both black and white backdrop options, create a mix of crops and expressions, and add a simple styling change if you want a little more range.
Includes:
- 30 minute studio session
- black and white backdrop options
- 1 to 2 simple outfit looks
- a mix of close-up and wider portraits

A more versatile session for professionals, creatives and business owners who need more than a standard headshot.

Includes:
- 60 to 75 minute session

Questions, answered
If you just need a quick update for LinkedIn, your email signature, a website bio or a professional profile, the Essential Headshot is usually enough. It keeps things simple with a short studio session and two final images.
If you want more variety, different expressions, both black and white backdrop options, or a few images for different uses, the Professional Refresh is a better fit.
If you need a more versatile set of portraits for your website, proposals, social media, speaking profiles or media features, the Branding Set gives us more time to create a wider range of images.
Yes. The Essential Headshot and Professional Refresh are studio-only sessions. This keeps the process simple, efficient and consistent, with clean black and white backdrop options.
If you need environmental portraits or images that feel more connected to your workspace, industry or brand, the Branding Set is a better starting point. Environmental portraits can be added for an additional fee if they suit how you want to use the images.
Yes. For the Essential Headshot, you can choose either black or white.
For the Professional Refresh, we can usually photograph both black and white backdrop options within the session time.
For the Branding Set, we can use both backdrop options if the session is studio-based.
Choose clothing that feels like you, but a little more polished than your everyday. Solid colours usually photograph well, and it is best to avoid tiny patterns, heavy logos or anything that feels distracting.
If you are unsure, bring a couple of options and I can help you decide on the day. Jackets, blazers, simple layers and different necklines can be useful because they give us subtle variety without needing a full outfit change.
No. That is my job.
I’ll guide you through the session with simple direction, small posture adjustments, expression prompts and angles that work for you. Most people feel a little awkward at the start, and that is completely normal. The session is designed to feel relaxed and straightforward.
For the Essential Headshot, please arrive ready in the outfit you want photographed.
For the Professional Refresh, you can bring one simple variation, such as adding or removing a jacket, changing a top, or adjusting layers.
For the Branding Set, you can bring up to three outfit looks so we can create more variety.
After your session, you’ll receive a private proofing gallery. From there, you can choose the images you would like fully edited and retouched.
You do not need to decide on the spot during the session, which takes the pressure off. You can look through the gallery properly and select the images that feel most useful to you.
Final images are edited and naturally retouched. This includes clean colour, exposure, lighting adjustments, skin tone refinement and small temporary distractions where needed.
The aim is polished, not plastic. You will still look like yourself.
Yes. If you love more images from your proofing gallery, you can purchase additional retouched images after the session.
Additional retouched images are $85 per image.
Your proofing gallery is usually sent first so you can choose your favourites. Once you have made your selection, final retouched images are delivered within the agreed turnaround time.
If you need your images urgently for a deadline, let me know before booking so I can confirm whether a faster turnaround is possible. A rush fee may apply.
Yes, professional hair and makeup can be arranged depending on availability. This is especially helpful if you want a more polished finish or if your images will be used across websites, media features, speaking profiles or marketing material.
Hair and makeup is quoted separately.
Yes. These images are designed for professional use across platforms such as LinkedIn, websites, email signatures, business profiles, speaker bios, proposals, media features and social media.
If you need the images for larger advertising campaigns, third-party commercial use or publication beyond your own business presence, please let me know so we can make sure the correct usage is covered.
Please get in touch as soon as possible if you need to reschedule. I understand that things come up, and I’ll do my best to find another suitable time.
Because studio time and preparation are set aside for your booking, last-minute changes may be subject to the booking terms outlined at the time of booking.
