HEADSHOT AND PERSONAL BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHY
SYDNEY - BRISBANE
Headshots
I craft headshots that make an impact.
In a world full of fake, I create genuine headshots that truly represent you. I work closely with my clients to ensure your final images capture your authentic self.
Using my expertise in lighting and posing, I'll highlight your best features in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. You'll feel at ease and confident in front of the camera, resulting in polished and natural headshots.
I'll provide you with a versatile range of images perfect for your portfolio, LinkedIn profile, or business website, helping you stand out from the crowd.
Personal Branding
My personal branding photography sessions are designed to bring out your inner entrepreneur, build trust and credibility with your audience, and elevate your brand.
During your session, I will capture you in a variety of styles and poses, ensuring you walk away with a collection of images that look amazing both as stand-alone shots and as a cohesive series.
From CEO’s and board members to linked In profile photos and website banners - Here are some my favourite clients…
But, getting great headshots takes a little bit of effort. Here are my top tips for getting right.
Firstly, invest in what you can afford - a profile photo should be good for around 5 years.
Select some photos you like from Pinterest to send to your photographer if you have a certain style you want to replicate. Just make sure to communicate it your photographer.
Make sure to book any hair or beauty appointments in advance of your session to avoid your photographers having to do touch ups on regrowth or chipped nail polish etc
Allow 3 hours for your headshot session - 1.5 for make up and hair and 1.5 for your photos. Ideally both indoor and outdoor headshots should be taken.
Bring at least 3 changes of wardrobe. A selection of business wear and casual attire. Stay away from busy patters and stripes. Think about complimentary colours, and flattering necklines - do not wear baggy, or ill-fitting clothing.
Make sure your clothes are pressed and clean and try on any new purchases before photoshoot.
The thought of a photoshoot can be a stressful experience, especially with a studio set up. I can't tell you how many times I've had people say they are not comfortable and they look terrible in photos. It's normal to feel this way..... Please do not stress a good photographer will always make sure to guide their clients through every step of the process - they'll tell you exactly what to do with your hands, how to pose, what angle works better all while keeping an eye out for stray hairs and wardrobe malfunctions. Playing music in the background, casual conversation a few jokes and compliments will make sure that you feel more relaxed and comfortable during the shoot. Also looking fab after your session with the hair and make up artist doesn't hurt ;)
After your session you should expect to be presented with a gallery of images to choose from. Your images should then be retouched including adjustments to skin texture, removing any imperfections, adding brightness to teeth, hair editing, outfit adjustments, body sculpting (if needed), background corrections. If there is anything that you would like your photographer to edit please let them know - they want you to LOVE your images.
You can then expect your high resolution digital files to be delivered to you via Drop box or We transfer. Remember to download immediately and save to your hard drive.
Upload your various images to your social channels - if your photographer has done a good job you will have a great selection to choose from. If you Love your images please credit your photographer - referrals and testimonials are the best way to say thank you.
Now sit back and enjoy the compliments!

Don’t just take my word for it….
“Just WOW! I am your typical nervous person having her photo taken, but I was really thrilled with both the experience and results of my photo shoot with Naomi. She recommended a hair and makeup artist, who was wonderful, then we had a really enjoyable photo shoot. She put me at ease and used a variety of poses, outfits and backgrounds. Really good value for money. Highly recommend”

"Haven't updated my corporate headshot for years. Balmain -based photographer, Naomi Mawson and makeup artist, Sophia turned something I dread into a fantastic experience. If you're putting off the headshot upgrade, think again. These women are brilliant, friendly, funny and made me feel so comfortable. Loved every minute. Go on. Stop putting it off. Do it!"

For anyone Sydney-based, looking to have some fabulous professional headshots taken, I can highly recommend Naomi Mawson. A Balmain photographer, Naomi is so skilled in her craft, making a client feel completely relaxed and at ease in front of the camera, and completely able to enjoy the experience. Naomi can also coordinate hair and makeup with another gorgeous local, if desired. Thank you Naomi, I love my photos and will be back for a shoot with my little girl soon x
