The Norwood Studio has parking available in the carpark at the rear of the studio. Enter via North Street (just past the mural). You are welcome to enter via the back door of the studio; otherwise come through the front and we can set you up in the green room (changeroom / make-up room / chill out space).

There is no need to arrive early as there may be a shoot prior to yours. Please arrive on time (or as close to that as possible) and there will be enough time for us to have a chat with a coffee / tea, and set you up in the green room, and with any clothing you have set up on the clothes racks. If you do arrive early and someone is at the studio, there is a reception area you can wait in. Or there are plenty of café’s nearby.

Most people feel a little (or very) anxious about having their picture taken in a formal environment. I promise there is absolutely nothing to worry about (I know that’s easy to say, but I do mean it). The session is VERY relaxed and it’s my job to make you look as relaxed and comfortable as possible. We basically hang out in the studio and chat while I take a few snaps! I will direct you with very detailed instructions about how to stand and what to do with your arms, shoulders and head. I promise to make you look great with gorgeous lighting, and to be authentic in front of the camera. I have lots of tricks to help you forget about the camera andjust have fun. There’s no need to worry about how you will look –we will choose the best outfits and try different poses and expressions until we get what we need, and you will be surprised at how much fun it is.

Your headshots are captured directly to the studio computer, and the images will come up on a monitor as we work. This will help you to feel confident and for us to collaborate to make sure you are happy with the details of the shot like how your hair looks, any distractions with how your clothing sits, and details like your expression and pose. If we are on location indoors (as opposed to one of my studios) I will also shoot to a laptop and you can see images as we go at regular intervals, or at the end of the session. If you prefer not to see the images as we work, that is absolutely fine too

This depends on what type of shoot you have booked in for. Most of the corporate headshots are simpler and shorter shoots, and we will review and select your final images at the end of the shoot. For multiple-looks (wardrobe changes and background changes) with longer shoots, I will most likely send you a link to a private online gallery for you to select your images from, at your leisure. I am happy to work around your needs and what system you would prefer.
