Professional Headshot Photography in Suffolk
Your headshot is more than just a photograph—it's your professional introduction
Research shows that you make your decision to trust someone within 100 milliseconds of seeing their face. In today's digital world, that split-second judgment often happens through your headshot before you ever meet in person. Your LinkedIn profile, website bio, conference materials, or company directory—wherever your professional image appears, it needs to inspire confidence and trust instantly.
As a professional photographer with over a decade of experience serving businesses across Suffolk and East Anglia, I specialise in creating headshots that authentically represent who you are professionally. Based near Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds, my documentary-style approach captures genuine expressions, not just stiff studio poses.
Why Professional Headshots Matter?
First Impressions Are Digital
Before any face-to-face meeting, potential clients, employers, and business connections have likely already formed an opinion of you based on your online presence. Your headshot is the cornerstone of that digital first impression. A professional image communicates that you take your career seriously and pay attention to details.
Stand Out in a Competitive Market
In any industry, countless professionals are competing for attention. A polished, professional headshot immediately sets you apart from those using selfies or outdated photos. It signals that you invest in your professional image and, by extension, in your work.
Your Personal Brand Starts Here
Whether you're a business owner, executive, consultant, or professional, your headshot is a crucial element of your personal brand. It should convey your personality, professionalism, and approachability in a single image. The right headshot doesn't just show what you look like—it shows who you are.
Build Trust Before You Meet
People do business with those they know, like, and trust. A warm, professional headshot helps build trust before the first conversation. It humanises your brand and makes you more approachable while maintaining professionalism.

My Approach to Headshot Photography
Documentary-Style Photography
My background enables me to capture natural, genuine expressions rather than rigid poses. You get professional results that look authentic, not staged.
On-Location Flexibility
I come to you with professional lighting equipment. Whether it's your office, an outdoor location, or a hired venue, I create studio-quality results wherever you're comfortable.
Editorial Expertise
As a published photographer and author, I bring commercial-grade quality to every session—the same attention to lighting and composition you'd see in leading publications.
Clear Guidance
Feeling awkward in front of the camera is a normal experience. I provide friendly direction throughout so you know exactly what to do. Most clients are surprised by how relaxed the process becomes.

Choose solid colours that suit your industry. Corporate professionals typically opt for business attire; creatives might choose smart casual. Avoid busy patterns and logos. Most importantly, wear something comfortable that you'd feel confident wearing to an important meeting.
Bring a couple of outfit options if time allows—one corporate for LinkedIn, one slightly more casual for your website.
