Professional headshots, coached by Nadia Chapman
A professional headshot is often the first thing a client, recruiter or colleague sees of you.

You don't need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. You'll see the images on the laptop as you go, change looks when you're ready, and leave knowing you have a photo that looks like you on your best day.

How other professionals read your photo
Colleagues, clients and recruiters decide what they think of you from your photo before they read a word. Here is what the research says, and what I do about it in your session.
is all it takes for people to judge how trustworthy and competent a face looks. More time only makes them more confident in the same verdict.

How it works
We talk and plan
A few minutes on where the photos will be used and how you want to come across, then an outfit review to plan your looks. A pre-shoot Zoom is available if you would like to plan ahead.
I coach, you relax
Nadia directs every expression and angle. Your images appear on the laptop as you shoot, and you talk through what you like and what you don't, so the coaching keeps getting closer to you.
You choose
At the end you go through the images together, using as much or as little of Nadia's professional eye as you like. Each final is retouched by Nadia and backed by her happiness guarantee.
Professional headshots: common questions
What should I wear for a professional headshot?
Wear what you'd wear to meet an important client: solid colours, a good fit, and a jacket if your field calls for one. Bring more than one option. Booked clients receive a full preparation guide.
I'm not photogenic. Will this work for me?
Yes. Every session is coached from the first frame. Nadia directs your expression and posture and shows you the images on the laptop as you go.
Can I get more than one look?
Yes. Multiple looks are encouraged, for example with and without a jacket.
