Headshots for people who do not love being photographed
You do not need to arrive knowing how to pose
I’m Siorna, a London portrait and headshot photographer specialising in calm, carefully guided photoshoots for people who may not feel naturally confident in front of the camera.
You might need a new image because your LinkedIn profile is out of date, your website no longer reflects your work, or you need photographs for a company profile, speaker bio, creative project or press feature. You may also be unsure what kind of image you need. We can work that out together before the shoot.
My work focuses on creating images that feel professional, warm and genuinely useful.
What happens during a headshot photoshoot?
1
Book your session
Email me or arrange a short 10-minute video call. You can ask questions, talk through what you need, and choose a date for your headshot session.
2
Plan your look
We talk about wardrobe, colours, backgrounds and where your images will be used. I can also send preparation tips so you know exactly what to bring.

Guided Photoshoot
On the day, you’ll have clear posing direction, expression coaching, refreshments, music if you’d like it, and time to change outfits. You do not need to know how to pose.

Choosing favourites
Within a week, you select the images you love. Your final photographs are edited and delivered in formats suitable for LinkedIn, websites, print and social media.

Why work with me for your professional headshots?
A good headshot needs to do more than show what you look like. It needs to feel trustworthy, approachable and useful across the places where people first meet you: LinkedIn, your website, company profiles, speaking pages, press features or creative portfolios.
As a London portrait and headshot photographer, I specialise in working with people who do not naturally enjoy being in front of the camera. I’ll guide your posing, expression and small adjustments throughout the session, while still making space for the images to feel like you.
Before your shoot, we can talk through wardrobe, colours, backgrounds and how you want to be perceived. During the session, you will not be left wondering what to do with your hands, face or posture.

What can I use my headshots for?
Your headshots can be created for:
- LinkedIn and professional profiles
- business websites and company biographies
- speaker pages, press features and podcast artwork
- creative portfolios, acting profiles and personal branding
- social media profiles and other online platforms
During your planning, we can talk about where your photographs need to appear so we can create images with the right crop, mood and level of formality.
One headshot session can give you several professional looks
Many clients need more than one image. You might want one polished photograph for LinkedIn, one warmer image for your website, and one more creative portrait for speaking, writing, acting or personal branding.
We can plan different outfits, backgrounds and moods so your final images feel useful across different parts of your working life.
Not sure which kind of headshot you need?
If your images need to work for more than one audience, this guide will help you think through the different roles your photographs might need to play. Read the headshot planning guide.
"I love the photos I'm using now - they feel like the best version of me."
“I asked Siorna to take professional photos of me – and I couldn’t be more pleased I did. I HATE having my photo taken, it raises every anxiety in the book, but Siorna made the process fun and effective. I love the photos I’m using now – they feel like the best version of me. Hugely recommended.”
