Q&As

  • I can offer you a white, grey or black backdrop, as well as the environmental option, depending on your personality or business brand.

  • I recommend wearing your favourite fitted top and then bringing accessories or a cardigan or jacket to give you options.

  • Each image is prepared for greatness, but if there is anything in particular you would like edited, please mention this at the shoot.

  • The plain backdrop options are usually private, so I can give you a relaxing environment with my full attention. The environmental option means photographing you in front of people who may be working in the area.

  • While you are more likely to struggle to choose your headshot digitals (!) I offer a ‘happiness promise’ which means I will offer you a do-over or refund your payment. My business is based on word of mouth referrals so it is important to me that my clients feel like supermodels.
