Headshots & Personal Branding

Headshots and Personal Branding

Getting a professional headshot is choosing to invest in your future, it Promotes confidence in your proFessional capabilities.

Having a great headshot or branding your business correctly is one of the most important investments you can make.

Your online images become the window to your business. While product imagery helps to build the concept of your brand, people still connect to people and it’s you that makes your brand unique. You have to make sure your online images portray your professional abilities to your audience.

You get one chance to convey the message you want to and one chance to introduce who you are. Making sure your imagery aligns with your career aspirations and goals is just firmly setting in stone the belief you have in yourself and your business role.

Let your clients view you and see you as trustworthy and professional. Let recruiters find professional headshots of you on your Linked In profile or let me help you build the perfect portfolio for your modelling, acting or even dating profiles.


Testimonials

Donna comes highly recommended. She is professional, great at communicating what is needed and ultimately has delivered amazing headshots for my business. I do not like my photo being taken but Donna made me feel at ease and the whole process was incredibly quick and easy.
— Claire Warner
Having worked with many other photographers throughout my career I realise that Donna has everything you need from a photographer. Her creative vision meant I was in complete trust of her decisions and direction.
She is also a wonderful collaborator and will explore different ideas with you. For me her ability to create a very relaxed atmosphere during the shoot helped get the most natural shots. For some of us, photo sessions can be a slightly intimidating and a self conscious process. With Donna you will find you actually enjoy this process and come away with photos finely tuned to suit your target audience.
— James Kirk, Actor and coach
I recently had the pleasure of working with Donna for my LinkedIn headshots, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. As someone who typically feels uncomfortable in front of the camera, Donna’s friendly and professional demeanour immediately put me at ease.

Donna not only possesses exceptional photography skills but also has a unique talent for guiding her clients through the process. She took the time to understand my preferences and made the entire experience feel easy. Her guidance and encouragement resulted in headshots that captured the professional image I was aiming for.

I highly recommend Donna to anyone seeking a skilled and personable photographer. Her expertise, coupled with her ability to create a comfortable atmosphere, makes her an outstanding choice for any photography needs.

As a new entrepreneur, I needed some professional photos for use on my website and social media outlets. Prior to the session, Donna took the time to understand my business, and how I wanted to portray myself. On the day, Donna put me at ease, and ensured we had plenty of opportunity to take photos and various backgrounds and locations. I’m very happy with the outcome and feel Donna has captured the essence of myself and my business. I would thoroughly recommend Donna to anyone looking for professional branded shots!
— Louise Corcoran, The Mind Oracle
Despite my nerves of being in front of the camera instead of my cakes, I throughly enjoyed my session with Donna. She totally put me at ease and made me feel so comfortable. The pictures are amazing and have really lifted my brand and allowed me to start showing who and what my company is, without hiding behind my products. Donna seems to be able to know instantly what you want your photos to show, even if you aren’t completely sure yourself. She is magic with a camera”
— Sarah Sacco, Layers & Graces Cake Designs
I can’t recommend Donna enough. She fitted me at really short notice, was welcoming, patient and charming which was especially important to me as I was not feeling very confident about my appearance. I now have three great portraits to use professionally.
— Heather O'Connell
I recently had a photo session with Donna to get some new images for my business. I’m usually the kind of person to hide when a camera is pointed at me, but Donna made the whole experience really easy and I felt comfortable throughout. She guides you through step by step with posing, so you don’t even have to think about it! I also had my hair and makeup done by Holly, which was a wonderful experience.

I’d highly recommend Donna to anyone who is looking for some new photos!
— Vicky Jiggens
I hate having my photo taken, and normally avoid it at all costs, but I knew that I needed some head shots for my website and I am so glad that I contacted Donna as she was amazing. She spent time understanding what I needed and put me completely at ease in front of the camera. I might even admit that I actually enjoyed the whole process with her lol…and having my hair and makeup done was a real treat.
Donna was professional, supportive and very patient throughout.
When it came to deciding on which photos to keep, I thought that it would be overwhelming, but Donna talked me through the best way to approach the process and together we quickly and painlessly managed to select the ones that captured what I wanted. I would thoroughly recommend Donna.
If you have any reservations about being in front of the camera Donna is absolutely the right person to work with.
— Sue Brown
I had so much anxiety about being in front of the camera, I’m NEVER in front of a camera. But even after the first zoom chat with Donna I felt really comfortable. I’m from a very creative background and so I had many ideas that I wanted to explore, but ultimately the images are for my work so I wanted to make sure that what was captured represented who I am professionally. I arrived at Donna’s studio with a car load of book references, props, clothes which Donna embraced and with both my thoughts and vision fused with Donna’s and executed with her gorgeous talent we had a really fabulous day. I never for one minute felt awkward, Donna made me feel very at ease and was completely up for my somewhat left field ideas ... it’s all about the blur ;) The final result ... stunning stunning images, more than I could have hoped for and such a wonderful memory of the whole process I will never forget.
— Sandy Reay
I chose Donna for my branding images as it was clear she works with all her clients to create a bespoke look. I was not disappointed! As someone who is rarely photographed, Donna was excellent at making me feel comfortable, showing me how to pose for the camera and advising what outfits to bring. I was genuinely amazed with the photos given who she had to work with! Complete pro, would highly recommend!
