I had the pleasure of working with Linda, as she required professional headshots for her new business as a finance broker. From the moment we started, I could see and feel her nerves; stepping in front of the camera can be daunting. But as we settled in, she became more comfortable we captured some lovely portraits that reflected her approachable yet expert demeanour. It’s always rewarding to create images that reflect a person’s true self, and I could tell that Linda valued the importance of making a strong first impression in her line of work.
I asked Linda to share her journey in the finance sector, what led her to seek out professional photography, and how she plans to use these images to connect with her clients and showcase her expertise. You can also learn more or connect with Linda on LinkedIn.

What is the best piece of career advice you’ve received?
Never undersell yourself and your abilities – go for it!
Why did you choose to have professional profile photos taken and what will you use your portraits for?
I wanted to showcase myself as a professional but natural and approachable as people see me in real life.
To me, when you view a social page or a client website, first impressions count, and to have a professional photo that showcases YOU is key to having people want to CONNECT with you….
Why did you choose to hire Lizzy C Photography?
I found Lizzy on Google and her natural style of photos appealed immediately.
Tell us about your experience working with her. Were you happy with the results of your shoot?
I found Lizzy to be very intuitive to my nerves and made the best of getting me to look natural – the finished product speaks for itself.
