YOU are your greatest asset

People do business with people. When clients see images of you and your team, can they relate to you? Do they have a feeling of trust in your competence?
A good headshot is a powerful tool to take things to the next level. Whether you are updating your LinkedIn profile to look ready for that promotion, starting a new business, having your first book published, being invited to speaking engagements, running for public office, or won an award, you need a fresh headshot that represents not only who you are right now but also where you want to go.


 

What to expect

Professional Hadshot by Bainbridge Photographer, Man sitting

1.Book your Date

After you contact me, we will decide on a session date, and I’ll send you a link for purchasing a retainer and signing a client.

Then I’ll send you a short quiz to learn what is important to you in your headshots.

I’ll also send you my “Get Ready Guide” with lots of tips and tricks so you can start planning your wardrobe, make a hair appointment, etc.

2. Enjoy your Session

When we meet on location, I’ll offer outfit consultation.
Then we’ll ease into our fun session: I’ll help you relax and guide you towards the angles that look best for your features.
We’ll move around the location, and you’ll swap out some wardrobe pieces to give us lots of variety.
I’ll show you some of the photos as we go to make sure you love the look.

3. Delight in your new Headshots

Within two weeks, I’ll send you a proof gallery with the best shots from the session.
You’ll “heart” your favourites and let me know if there is any custom retouching you’d like to have done. Within 10 days, your final photos are ready, and you can take care of the balance during download.

After that? You’ll enjoy using your amazing new headshots everywhere.


 

Is this right for me?

With Purple Squid headshot sessions, you’ll get:

  • A photographer who takes the time to learn what is important to you and then creates the photo you envision

  • A pro who can guide you through the process and use lighting and posing techniques to flatter your features. 

  • Expert input on how to prepare for the session and wear what looks best in photos

  • A lot of variety with different outfits and environments to find your perfect look

  • A fun, relaxed photo session that supports the camera shy.

If this sounds like just what you need, my headshot experience is perfect for you!


 

Does this sound like yOU?

  • “I hate having my photo taken.”

  • “I need to lose weight first.

  • “I am not photogenic.”

  • “I look so much younger in my old one.”

  • “I never look good in photos.”

Don’t let fear hold you back

These hesitations can result in dated-looking headshots. Photos where no one may even recognize you when they meet you in person, photos that make you look untrustworthy, past your professional prime, headshots that prevent you from reaching the next level. Don’t let your insecurities hold you back.

get a fun, supportive session

My fun photo sessions help you relax and bring out your best looks. I’ll guide you into the most flattering poses, and then we’ll just chat, connect, and those genuine, approachable, competent expressions will appear quite naturally. It’s an amazing feeling to see clients who initially thought they were unphotogenic saying, “I never thought I could look this good!”

Since I put up my new profile photo the number of people contacting me on social media almost tripled. Really valuable leads. The photo session was super easy too - and I don’t particularly like to have my picture taken.
