“Shaun is a remarkable photographer. Patient and professional. He has an exquisite eye for capturing the moment. I highly recommend Shaun.”

"Shaun is a consummate professional. He takes his craft seriously and does not leave anything to chance."

"I recently had the pleasure of engaging with Shaun for my professional headshot. What an amazing experience from start to finish. Not only is Shaun highly professional with a regard for detail, he also nailed the brief and gave me exactly what I asked for, in a seamless, interactive, supportive and fun way. This is your "go to" photographer!"

I recently had a photo shoot for my CV, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Shaun was absolutely amazing—professional, kind, and incredibly skilled. He made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in, and his attention to detail was impressive. The final photos were exactly what I needed: sharp, confident, and natural. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality professional portraits. Thank you for making the process so smooth and enjoyable!

Your Questions, Answered
You have three options for you to choose from:
- Express Session (30 min): Perfect for a polished, no-fuss look that still delivers high-impact results.
- Standard Session (60 min): More time, more variety — great for multiple outfit changes and expression options.
- Premium Session (3 hrs): A full personal branding experience. Ideal for creatives, thought leaders, and entrepreneurs who need a suite of standout images.
Each session is designed to fit your goals — whether you need one powerful headshot or a range of looks for different platforms.
Bring 3–6 top options (more for extended sessions). Fitted clothing in solid colours works best. Avoid busy patterns. Choose pieces that match your professional vibe — whether approachable, bold, or corporate. I’ll guide you on what photographs best.
Each package includes 1 or 2 fully retouched images depending on your session choice. You’ll view your images after the shoot and select your favourites for delivery. Additional images are available for purchase. No pressure, just polished results you’ll be proud to share.
Hair and makeup aren’t built into the session price, but I’ll help coordinate everything for you. I work with a trusted network of professional artists who prep clients perfectly for camera. Styling is highly recommended, especially for women, to ensure you look polished and confident.
Prepare by getting a good night’s rest, staying hydrated, and selecting your outfits in advance. Avoid heavy fragrances and bring a small grooming kit. Most importantly, come ready to have fun — I’ll take care of the rest!
You’re not alone. I guide everything from posture to micro-expressions to help you feel relaxed and confident. Most clients say, “That was actually fun.”
Your fully retouched, ready-to-use images will be delivered within 24 hours. Rush options are available on request.
Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. If you’re not happy with the final images, we’ll do a reshoot — on the house. That’s how confident I am in what we’ll create together.
Please provide at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. I’m happy to accommodate changes whenever possible.
