WHAT IS
A Headshot session?
Our headshot sessions create clean, simple shots that are designed to capture the essence of you. It gives a great first impression that is both professional and trustworthy and is the very first stepping stone to building your brand identity.
Choose from:
- Formal ‘Studio Headshots’ in my Broadclyst studio
- The informal approach of my ‘Location Headshots’
- One-off ‘Mini Session’ days in a stunning Devon location
There is something for everyone here. If you want to get in and out quickly then the studio sessions or mini sessions might suit you or if you are wanting to try out personal branding then the Location Headshots might be for you!
This is for you
if…
- Your current headshot makes you look really formal and awkward. It doesn’t really show your friendly and approachable nature, which you consider to be one of your superpowers.
- You’re terrified of the camera. Yes you’re proud to be the face behind the business but you’d rather not show your face. (Even though you know you need to).
- You have just one photograph that you use everywhere and you’re frankly bored of it.
- You need just one strong head and shoulders photo across all platforms to create a cohesive online presence
- You need a couple of different outfits – a mix of formal and casual for different uses
- You are an actor, model, coach, speaker, author or business owner needing a headshot for networking.
- You’ve changed—and that image of you 10 years ago that you’ve been using, doesn’t reflect you anymore.

I’m here to get you and your business visible. As a small business owner I understand the work and effort that goes into creating your business. And, as a camera-shy person myself, it is my mission to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
These simple headshots are just the beginning – the absolute bare bones of your brand. If you want to start telling your story and connecting with clients then you might consider my Personal Branding Shoots or Artisan Branding Sessions. These will help you develop a bank of beautiful, professional and well thought out images that tell your story and capture your love for your job and why you do it.
If you are camera shy and have been putting off getting in front of the camera then this simple headshot is a great place to start. I pride myself in being friendly and approachable and able to get you comfortable in front of the camera so the real you shines through.
Location Headshots
Ideal for those who would like to shoot in a specific location – like their premises or an alternative location that reflects their business well. These sessions offer a bit more than a headshot. There is often capacity to try a few personal branding shots showing a bit more of your story.
Studio Headshot Days
I run headshot days in my Broadclyst studio on selected dates for those looking for the very basics of a headshot. Choose from one of two styles of headshot sessions depending on the type of imagery you need for your specific purpose. Choose from a studio lit session on a clean, contemporary grey background or a more relaxed naturally lit session. Examples of both are given below. Check availability for upcoming headshot days and book online below.

‘I’m a bodyworker and Shadow Work coach working with people to heal physical and emotional trauma and want to ensure I come across as warm, approachable and trustworthy. Jess was a really lovely and easy person to be around during the photo shoot and I was able to trust her advice and gentle clear direction and relax into the whole experience. I was amazed at how many varied images she captured from the time we had and I really feel that she captured the real me.’ Melanie Ward
