From Destiny's Child to Your LinkedIn Profile: How My VIP Headshot Days Became the Ultimate Feel-Good Photography Experience
Remember that time you had to get a professional photo taken and it felt about as fun as a trip to the dentist? Yeah, been there! After 17 years of clicking cameras (starting with sneaking shots at Destiny's Child concerts - true story!), I've learned that the best photos happen when you're having too much fun to worry about the camera.
Why My Exeter Studio is Worth The Train Ride (Even From London!)
"But Rosie, I'm based in London!" I hear you say. Here's the thing - most of my lovely clients actually hop on the train from London for their headshot photography session. Why? Because by the time you've battled London traffic and paid for central London parking, you could've had a relaxing train journey (Netflix binge anyone?), and I'll be waiting to pick you up from Exeter station! Plus, you get a whole day of pampering in my cosy home studio - think friend's living room vibes rather than sterile photography studio!
What Actually Happens at a VIP Headshot Day?
Step 1: Operation Pamper (Because You Deserve It!)
Listen, you can roll up looking like you've wrestled a hedge backwards (we've all been there!) because:
Our magical make-up artist Giselle will work her sparkle
You'll be treated to your favourite snacks (those cinnamon rolls you love? Consider them hunted down!)
The studio feels more like a friend's cosy living room than a scary photography studio
Did I mention there's usually cake?
Step 2: Let's Create Some Magic
While other headshot photographers might rush you through a quick "smile and click" session, here's what we do differently:
Perfect lighting that makes everyone look like they've had 12 hours sleep (even if you haven't!)
Brand-matched colourful backgrounds that make your photos pop
Multiple outfit changes (because options are everything)
Expert posing guidance (forget those Chandler Bing grimaces - we'll be asking "how YOU doin'?")
Step 3: The Secret Sauce
Want to know how we get those natural, genuine smiles? We chat! About:
Your latest Netflix obsession
That embarrassing thing your cat did
Why Jason Momoa makes everyone smile (okay, maybe that's just me!)
Your amazing business and how these photos will help you shine online
Why These Photos Matter (More Than Ever!)
In a world where your LinkedIn profile often meets people before you do, your headshots need to do some heavy lifting. Whether you're:
An entrepreneur ready to level up
A corporate professional with personality (yes, you can have both!)
A creative soul who needs to show their spark
Someone who usually hides behind houseplants in photos (I see you!)
The Proof is in the Photos
Don't just take my word for it - ask Heather, who got featured in Forbes with her headshots! Or the countless lovely humans who've transformed their LinkedIn profiles from "hide behind a houseplant" to "hello world domination!"
