Yes, 15 minutes is quick, but after years of shooting headshots, I’ve perfected a routine that captures great images in minimal time. By using a preset approach (with slight tweaks for each person), I typically snap over 100 images within that window. Most people loosen up after the first few minutes, and the remaining 5–10 minutes are when the real magic happens. Unless you’ve booked an extended session or a personal branding shoot, I rarely keep people on set for more than 20 minutes. I’m looking for subtle nuances that convey the right balance of confidence and friendliness, so you won’t be stuck on set any longer than necessary.

Absolutely! We come to your location for your headshots. We don’t charge for mileage if your shoot is within 20 miles of our base in Chorley. If you’re located farther out, we’ll provide a custom quote based on distance.

A typical headshot session lasts around 10 to 15 minutes, allowing enough time for a few different poses and expressions. If you’re planning multiple outfits, the session may run a bit longer. Should you need specific shots for your marketing materials—especially those that involve props or additional setup—please let us know in the contact form so we can accommodate a longer session

When choosing outfits for your headshot, aim for clothes that make you feel confident and reflect the professional or personal brand you want to project. Stick to solid, neutral, or darker tones, and avoid busy patterns or large logos that can distract from your face. It’s also helpful to bring at least two outfit options for variety—something more business-oriented (like a tailored jacket or blouse) and a slightly more casual look, if appropriate. Make sure your clothing is well-fitted and wrinkle-free to keep the focus on your expression, not your attire.

When you arrive, we’ll start by guiding you to a specific marker on set. From there, we’ll go through a series of tried-and-tested poses and angles that help capture a natural, confident look. Throughout the session, I’ll offer gentle direction—suggesting small posture adjustments or encouraging you to relax—so you feel at ease in front of the camera. You’ll also have a chance to preview a few shots on the screen; that way, if you spot anything you’d like to tweak, we can address it when you’re back on set. All this happens in roughly 10 to 15 minutes, and to keep things comfortable, we even play some light music to help you relax and enjoy the process!

Occasionally this happens, and it’s nothing to worry about. We won’t disappear once your 15-minute slot is up! If you’re part of a company booking, feel free to hop back in the queue whenever you’re ready. If you’re an individual client, I’ll stick around until you’re comfortable stepping back in front of the camera.

Yes! We always remove spots and blemishes at no extra charge. We also offer additional retouching services—like airbrushing or whitening teeth—based on your specific needs. Simply let us know what you’d like, and we’ll make sure your final images look just the way you want.

Your finalized photos are typically ready within five days. However, we do offer an expedited “Fast Pass” service with 48-hour or even 24-hour turnaround times for those who need their images ASAP—perfect for tight magazine or PR deadlines.

We know press and PR timelines don’t wait for anyone! If you need your headshots sooner than our standard turnaround, just let us know. We offer rush editing when possible and can often deliver within 24–48 hours for an additional fee. Mention your timeline when booking, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Absolutely! If you have an established look—background, lighting, overall vibe—we can replicate it so any new headshots seamlessly blend with your existing images. Please provide a link to your current headshot page in the contact form so we can plan accordingly. Keep in mind that we do charge a fee for matching in, as it often takes additional setup time. Of course, if you’d prefer a fresh, updated style across the team, we can help you plan a full headshot refresh instead

Yes, we do! Personal branding sessions are more in-depth than standard headshots, allowing for multiple outfits, settings, and poses to showcase your unique style. If you’d like a personal branding shoot, simply let us know when booking, and we’ll tailor the session to meet your needs.
