Headshot Photography
Bournemouth headshot photographer – Fiona Moorey Photography
5 reasons for having a professional headshot taken by a Bournemouth headshot photographer
- You will stand out from the crowd – When potential clients or business contacts are scrolling through Linkedin, other social media websites or your own website, a professional headshot by your Bournemouth headshot photographer on your profile will always stand out from one that is obviously taken on a phone. It shows you take your profession and your position seriously.
- It tells your story – It is important that your headshot reflects you and your personality. Your professional headshot needs to keep in with your brand. Consider it as being like the logo of your brand.
- First impressions are everything – If you have never met your business contact then your headshot will form part of your first impression. Make sure it is a good one.
- Be memorable – By including a memorable professional headshot in your social media, people will be able to put a face to a name. You instantly become more memorable which will be extremely rewarding for your business in the long run.
- You will look the part – If you want to be treated like a professional then you must look the part.

“I recently asked Fiona to do some headshots for my new business as first impressions count! I absolutely hate the idea of my picture being taken and didn’t have a clue how to pose but Fiona instantly put me at ease. I hardly knew the photos were being taken. Relaxed and professional and more importantly I love the photos of me!”
Personal branding Headshots
This session is a headshot with a difference, injecting a little of your brand personality, these images or great to use on social media and on your website.

I can also add a variety of flat lay images which are taken from over head and feature your business card and other personal or branded items to show your brand personality (additional cost of £50 for 5 edited resized images)

“Highly recommend. Calm, professional and I got exactly what I wanted – a collection of high quality headshots for my business. Five 
recommendation”
Location Headshots
Each business is unique, and some can require a different style of photography, or setting. Location headshots or environmental portraits as they are sometimes referred to are exactly that, headshots taken in your environment by your Bournemouth headshot photographer. Whether that is at your place of work or just outside in a park or at the beach.
- These are taken using natural light with the occasional use of flash, so can appear to be softer and more relaxed.
- The experience can be more relaxed too as you are in your own environment or outside with nature.
- On arrival we will spend 5 minutes chatting about your business, your brand and the style of headshot that you are after. Your session will last for 30 minutes.
- I will take several shots with different expressions. I can offer guidance for posing too.
- A change of jacket or the addition of a scarf is enough to change your look. make sure oyu bring these with you.
- When the session is finished I will then edit the images and upload them to an online gallery for you to choose your favourites. I will then send them over to you via “WeTransfer” with black and white versions if you wish.

“For anyone who dreads posing for a professional headshot, don’t put it off any longer! I absolutely HATE having my photo taken but I had a new website and other social media channels which desperately needed a professional photograph added to them. I had met Fiona several times at various networking events and had seen examples of her amazing photos of tiny babies, family shots, headshots and weddings and knew that she would be the one I’d go to when I was ready. So I made the appointment and was very nervous when I arrived. However, Fiona has a very relaxed way about her and would engage in conversation, alter my position and take photos more or less without me realising it. And the results were amazing! It was difficult to choose the final 3 photos if I’m honest. Fiona also offered a selection of flat lay branding images which she set up using my business card. I didn’t realise I needed one but once I saw them I couldn’t resist and again this branding image will enhance my business presence. So thank you Fiona, you produced great results and I recommend you wholeheartedly to everyone.”
Studio Headshots
Studio headshots have a clean simple and consistent style to them, they are taken using artificial light against a plain backdrop, usually neutral in colour, white or grey are popular. Some people prefer the privacy or a studio and may feel more self conscious posing in an outdoor setting especially in a public area. Studio headshots can appear to be more professional and corporate but can also be relaxed sessions where I will use a chair or a stool.
- Your session will last for 20 minutes in my studio in Ferndown.
- I will take several shots with different expressions. You can then look at the back of the camera and choose your favourite 3 images or you can have an online passworded gallery if you prefer.
- You can bring a simple change of clothes, if you wish. Sometimes just a change of jacket or the addition of a scarf is enough to change your look.
- When the session is finished I will upload the images to an online gallery for you to choose your favourites, then I send them over to you via “WeTransfer”.

“I have known for years that I needed to get some professional headshots done but (like most people) I don’t really like having my photo taken, so I put it off and put it off. I met Fiona at a networking event and had a really good feeling about her straightaway. We booked a session at her studio and the whole process was painless and even enjoyable. Fiona ensured I was relaxed and took the time to find out about my business and what I was looking for from my headshots. I was really pleased with the resulting images and proceeded to use them everywhere! I would certainly recommend Fiona for headshots or other photography to represent your business in a professional and creative manner.”
How you can prepare for your headshot session
- Have a think about how you would like your headshot to look, what you believe fits with your brand and what image you would like to portray. For example professional and corporate, or friendly and relaxed or perhaps you would like a mixture?
- Do you have a favourite side or expression? It might help to practice in a mirror and look at different expressions.
- Choose a selection of clothes to wear or bring, based on what reflects your personality, style of headshot and branding. We will have time for one change of clothes. Solid colours generally work well, try and avoid too many bold patterns. Keep it simple and be comfortable. Have a look at this blog by your Bournemouth headshot photographer about dressing for your brand.
- Make sure your hair is cut and styled to your personal choice. It is a good idea to bring a brush or comb for a last minute tidy and a lipstick or makeup to touch up.
Flat Lay Photography
Flat lay photographs have never been more popular. They are photos taken from directly above featuring on brand props which tell the story of your brand personality ( a great example is at the top of the page). You can include your business card, scrabble tiles, fresh flowers, books, keyboard. Make yours unique.
You don’t even need to be present for this shoot, you can drop off props or post your business card and as a Bournemouth headshot photographer will work my magic.

- 30 minute session
- use of props
- At my home studio in Ferndown
