Make It Your Own with Outfit Changes & Props

Your headshot should reflect your personality and profession, so feel free to bring a change of outfit for variety. Whether it’s a formal jacket, a more relaxed look, or a signature accessory, small changes can make a big impact. You’re also welcome to bring props - laptops, notebooks, or tools of your trade - to add a personal touch and tell more of your story in your images.

About Me

sarah jamieson headshot photographer northumberland holding camera and smiling

I must confess, writing ‘about me’ (or any copy in fact) is something I really struggle with, but I find it so much easier when I have some decent photos to put alongside the words.

The first thing I do when I find a new company is to scroll through their socials or go to the about page on their website. I want to know who I’m buying from or working with.

I thrive on working with other business people, seeing their online presence grow and level up when the brand has a whole new feel is super rewarding.

I’d be thrilled to be telling your story, Sarah x

Prefer A More Natural Look?

Not everyone feels at home in a studio - some businesses suit a more natural backdrop, and some people simply feel more comfortable outside. That’s why I also offer on-location headshots around Berwick upon Tweed.

Whether it’s a coastal setting, a historic street, or a green space, we’ll find the right spot to capture headshots that feel natural, professional, and authentically you. With expert posing and creative direction, I’ll help you look your best in any setting, let’s take advantage of Northumberland’s natural beauty for a headshot that stands out..

What to Expect At Your Headshot Session

Your headshot session is designed to be relaxed, efficient, and tailored to you. I’ll guide you with natural posing and small adjustments to ensure you look approachable, confident, and like you.

Once you’ve booked, you’ll receive helpful emails with tips on what to wear and how to prepare. On the day, we’ll shoot in the studio (or on location if preferred), with the option to switch outfits or bring props for variety. Sessions are quick and stress-free, with professional studio lighting and backdrops to suit your style.

After the shoot, you’ll receive a secure online gallery within 2–3 days, where you can download your five chosen images - or purchase extras if you’d like more. Every final image is lightly retouched (I’m a total Photoshop geek - so say goodbye to stray hairs and surprise spots!).

Headshots for Young Actors & Models

For young performers, a great headshot can make all the difference. Whether for acting portfolios, Spotlight profiles, or modelling agencies, I create natural, engaging images that showcase personality, versatility, and emotion.

Unlike corporate headshots, actor and model portfolios often require a range of expressions and styles to suit different roles and castings. I’ll guide them through the session, helping to capture everything from bright, open smiles to serious, character-driven looks.

I also work with talent management companies and agencies, providing professional, industry-standard headshots with quick turnaround times. Whether it’s an update for an established portfolio or the first step into the industry, we’ll create images that make a lasting impression

Testimonial

Polishing the Potato

I had a set of pictures taken by Sarah to be used for various PR things. Now, as someone with a potato for a head, I was slightly nervous going into this whole thing. Sarah set me at ease and guided me through the whole shoot expertly, generously, and with the right kind of humour. The results were the cause of much delight in the family and some confusion to me; gone was the potato, replaced by something clearly resembling a human head. Frankly, Sarah can indeed work miracles. Do not hesitate to let her do the same for you.
