Business Headshots

Business headshots that you and your clients will love

Show new clients who they’ll be working with when they do business with you. I’ll create a stunning range of business headshots that capture you at your very best: relaxed, approachable and professional.

Professional studio headshots keep all the focus on you and are perfect for your website and online profiles (including LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, other social media platforms and online dating profiles).

Your clients will love the engaging eye contact and genuine expressions I capture, and you will love how I use lighting, posing and camera techniques to show you at your best in a relaxed, enjoyable and un-rushed photoshoot.

I can also come to your office if you need headshots for your whole team or organisation (contact me for details).

“Sarah was a pleasure to work with. She was friendly, well-organised, and responsive, and turned around my pictures extremely quickly. I would recommend her to anyone looking for professional photography services.”

Reviews of my client experience and image quality

My approach to working with people and the quality of the images I create has led to me becoming the top-rated photographer in the county, with over 200 five-star reviews on Google.

These are some of the things my headshot clients have said about their experience with me (click on the client names to view images from each session):

“I had some business headshots taken with Sarah. She was great! She sent over helpful advice beforehand, and she was friendly and patient through the shoot. Sarah never had to ask me to smile – we had a fun conversation throughout the shoot and I hardly noticed when she was taking photos. I’d highly recommend Sarah.”

James, professional headshots client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah is an extremely talented photographer. I booked her to take some business headshots and to shoot a promotional video for my online business. Her consummate professionalism coupled with her down-to-earth and reassuring attitude resulted in a set of immensely flattering photos (even if I say so myself!) and an absolutely outstanding video. I look forward to working with Sarah again although next time to take some photos of my family. I really can’t recommend Sarah highly enough!”

Coriden, business headshots client from Oxfordshire

“Sarah knows how to make even those of us who hate cameras feel at ease, and made the whole experience as enjoyable as possible. Having used selfies for business purposes for far too long, one session with Sarah has given me a range of pictures to use in a variety of ways. Having taken the time to check what I was going to use them for, she tailored the shoot to meet my needs focusing on the format most relevant for my work. The whole process was seamless from start to finish, and the guidance on what to wear was incredibly helpful. Thank you Sarah.”

Lisa, professional headshots client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“I recently attended a photography session with Sarah to create some photos for my upcoming website and for some new social media branding. Sarah instantly made me feel so welcome, I was so nervous and she put me at ease straight away , we talked, we laughed but she is so friendly and professional. She has a wonderful studio to work from and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her for any future shoot Thank you so much Sarah, you listened to what I needed from our first initial conversation right through to the end.”

Kerry, headshot photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Amazing photoshoot experience, Sarah is awesome and make you feel so relaxed and time flies. She capture the very heart of who you are in her photography. The images are both dynamic and beautiful. I had a great time at the photoshoot and within 24 I had my final images ready.”

Ayo, personal branding and business headshots client from Reading

“Sarah is amazing and I cannot recommend her highly enough! I was anxious infront of the camera, but straight away but with Sarah’s professionalism and guidance she put me at ease. The finished product is incredible, the attention to detail and the quality is 10/10.”

Laura, business headshots client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah is a lovely person. She helped me prepare for my photo shoot in advance (there’s a lot to think about!) and welcomed me to it with enthusiasm. I relaxed very quickly and had a lot of fun – I can’t believe how fast the time went. It goes without saying Sarah is a brilliant photographer, and I am delighted with the results.”

Vikki, business headshots client from Buckingham, Buckinghamshire

“Sarah held a great photoshoot with me for my business – she put me at ease and helped me get fantastic and professional photos of myself and my work. Would recommend to anyone.”

“I had a lovely morning with Sarah and her colleague Holly. It was an extremely positive experience and I love the photos. They are exactly what I needed for publicity.”

Dr Gillian Warson, professional headshot client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah did some professional photos for me that I wanted to use for work, and I was really pleased. Being in front of a camera is pretty uncomfortable for me, but Sarah knew exactly how to put me at ease and I totally enjoyed my shoot! I’ve always been awkward in pictures but she never once made me feel like this was a problem – I really did feel as though I was in safe hands.”

How to book your professional headshots

Email me via [email protected] with any questions you may have and/or your preferred days/times for headshots. I’ll let you know current availability.

If you’d like to go ahead, I’ll confirm your chosen date and time and send over an invoice for the session fee (£295) as well as a link to an online contract. On receipt of your payment and your digital signature on the contract your headshot session is booked. I’ll send over a guide including outfit, hair/makeup and prep tips.

If you run a creative business, or simply want to project plenty of personality in your business portraits then let me know. We’ll use props from your business combined with creative composition and flattering lighting to create a series of images that help to convey what you do, not just what you look like. Of course, you can also have the best of both worlds by opting for a mix of standard business headshots as well as some creative ones, too. The choice is yours!

On the day of your shoot simply turn up and relax. I’ll guide you through a series of easy, flattering but natural-looking poses. We’ll chat, laugh and have fun creating what I hope will be your favourite images you’ve ever had taken.

Afterwards, I’ll edit each image by hand and then send you a link to an online gallery with about 8-10 different shots.

Once you confirm that you’re happy with the images, I’ll set your gallery to allow high resolution downloads. You also get full commercial usage rights to use them for whatever you’d like for as long as you’d like.

“Sarah was very professional and the photos that she took were much better than I had ever hoped for. I’m a very pleased client.”
