Confident business headshots

Feeling frustrated that your social medial profile isn’t working for you? Do your headshots look confident and approachable?

Your FB page, Twitter account or on-line site looks great. You’re sharing news of your life, feedback from friends and family is positive, you’re expressing love for life and passion for your hobbies and interests. Is your professional head shot letting you down? Or perhaps it’s time to give on-line dating a whirl?

Let’s be honest, you want a delicious headshot that does you proud. After all, it is your calling card to the world out there!

“Thanks for the downloads – very professional. I hadn’t even thought what to wear, can you give me a ring?” Actor Headshot ion the Isle of Wight

It’s a New Year.

My new year’s resolution?

To accept new challenges.

Because I believe they make the best portraits.

What am I excited about?

Elegant shadows and high cheekbones.
Nooks and crannies in quiet parks.
Smiles.
Laughter.
Challenges.

What do I want more of in this New Year?

The golden light of the evening.
Broad smiles and silly antics.
Quiet moments.
A new style using indoor backdrops.

I’m letting go of ...

Worries and fears.
Processing to perfection.
Exactitude and planning.
Too perfect posing.

Peace of mind comes when ...

A smile plays on people’s lips when they see their photos for the first time.
A portrait is liked, shared, and IG by strangers.
My model friends realize it’s not going to be hard work after all.

This year, I’m devoting myself to …

camera-shy people
aspiring photographers
first-time models
my family

Sunny Beach Portraits

Sunny Beach Portrait

Every time I hear a snatch of the musical theatre, “Hey, big spender!”.

I start laughing.

It doesn’t matter if I sing out of tune.

Today I met Tamyka and she’s promised to serenade me with Broadway musicals.

Which sum’s up her outlook, perfectly.

Assured, confident, prepared.

To capture Tamyka’s smile, the one’s friends see when you’re dancing to their songs, is the best feeling.

So, what makes Tamyka smile?

Bringing people together, grabbing a piggie back from her best friend, eating strawberries and cream.

So we smile, giggle and tease the camera. Throwing caution to the wind, sharing our secrets, and playing in a quiet avenue near Appley Park.

And what makes Tamyka beautiful?

Her confidence.
Her determination.
Her grace.

Whatever the occasion, getting together for trips to the Globe theatre, picnics in the park, and red carpet events (hoping to catch a glimpse of someone lovely).

Today we met for perhaps our final time. Tamyka is soon to return to London and the world is beckoning to her.

Here’s why it matters.

Somewhere between sharing our mood boards, searching for the perfect backdrop and watching the weather outlook, we pause and share a smile.

Bringing friends together for happy portraits and showing them how to look good in front of the camera, with style, simplicity, and ease. And the highlight of our session?

A warm hug from her friends
The excited smile confessing they went shopping the day before
Walking arm in arm as I sing, “the minute they walk through the door!”

At the end of the session, we went for coffee, with the refrain ‘big spender’ lingering in the air.

Our ideal day?

Meeting good friends, a scolding cup of coffee, singing little ditties, and sharing delicious secrets. Thanks for letting me join you for the day, Mandy x

Natural portraits taken in Ryde

Get ready for your portrait experience

With today’s hectic lifestyles, sitting down to book a professional photographer may be a big ask.

No one wants their photoshoot ruined by an outfit that doesn’t suit the location or with make up that drains your face of colour.

It’s the finer details like these that could have been easily prevented or resolved, so prepare ahead.

Portsmouth Portrait Photographer

I wait. Early. Eager

Smiling broadly, Lisa greets me. Warmth in her gaze like meeting a new friend.

Striding confidently through Old Portsmouth, the click of heels punctuating our opening exchanges.

A small, pastel blue canvas bag hints at Aly’s carefree elegance. The keynote for today – natural portraits, fuss-free styles, and genuine smiles. Settling on worn steps, laughing breathlessly at the taunting sea wind. It feels so easy.

I wait as Lisa spies the covered archways.

Broad smiles.

Twinkling eyes.

A *pouf* of excitement.

Our playground awaits, the camera forgotten. Walking through archways, twirling for the lone dog walker.

Lisa challenges me to me create photos that are filled with laughter and joy. Something *more* than her previous studio portraits. We play silly games. I describe my childhood friend who wore swimming caps whilst horse riding. Lisa reveals her perfect night on Valentine’s day.

Showing Lisa how to feel good in front of the camera. Making it seem so effortless. We share our passions for biscuits for breakfast and lazy days at home.
