PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHY ACROSS HERTFORDSHIRE, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE AND NORTH LONDON
Hi, I’m Rachael, a Watford headshot photographer with over six years’ experience creating natural, professional images for creatives, business owners, and corporate teams. I specialise in lifestyle headshot photography in Watford, using natural settings and backdrops – not just plain white screens – to show off you, your business, and the way you work in a way that feels real and full of personality.
My Watford headshot sessions are designed to be relaxed and straightforward, even if you’re not used to being in front of the camera – that’s a promise! I’ll walk you through the whole process so you feel comfortable and leave not only with professional headshots you love, but also with a smile and a new inner confidence to show up more for your business.
Based in Watford, I regularly photograph professionals from a wide range of businesses. Whether you’re updating your LinkedIn headshot, refreshing your company website, or social media, I’ll help you create photos that you’ll really want to show off!
As a small business owner and mum, I know how important it is to look professional while still feeling like yourself. A great headshot is more than just a smile in front of a white background – it should capture who you are, how you work, and a little spark of your personality, warmth, and energy.

Rachael did an amazing job taking my photo for my website/business. I don’t like having my photo taken, and she made my feel at ease and the end results was incredible. Thank you Rachael! I would highly recommend As You are Photography
IMAT Trust
We have used As You Are Photography for a number of jobs across our Trust over the last few months and are really pleased with the photographs that we have received. Rachael is great to work with – friendly, reliable, professional and organised. We will definitely be using her again in the future.
Do I Need Professional Headshots?
If you are running a business online today then yes – absolutely! Here’s why a Watford headshot photography session can make all the difference:
FIRST IMPRESSIONS MATTER
Your headshot is often the first thing people see online.
LOOK CONFIDENT, APPROACHABLE AND PROFESSIONAL
Even if you’re camera shy and find being online and visible hard, a professional headshot can be the first step to showing up online for your business!
STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD
A polished headshot helps you get noticed amongst the selfies and AI generated images on LinkedIn, websites, and social media
REFLECT YOUR PERSONALITY
A good headshot shows who you are, not just what you do.

How It Works
GET IN TOUCH
Your business is one of a kind – your headshot should be too. My Watford headshot photography sessions are always tailored to you and your business needs, and every shoot starts with a chat about what you are looking for.
I work with:
Entrepreneurs & founders in Watford and surrounding areas
Creative professionals looking for standout headshots
Corporate teams across Watford and Hertfordshire
Consultants & freelancers wanting polished, professional images
Small business owners throughout Watford and nearby towns
LET’S PLAN IT OUT
Every session is tailored to you. Most headshot sessions take place on weekdays, allowing us to work around your normal working day and create images that feel natural, professional and genuinely reflective of your business. Together, we’ll create photographs that show both your personality and professionalism.
Before your session, we’ll chat about the style, mood, and look you want to achieve. Together, we’ll choose the perfect location – whether that’s my studio, your office, a park, or an urban backdrop – so your headshots feel natural and professional while reflecting your personality and work.
SHOOT DAY
On the day, everything will be set up so you can relax and focus on being yourself. I’ll guide you through poses, expressions, and angles, making the session easy and even a little fun! Every shot is designed to be authentic, professional, and aligned with your personal style and business identity.
YOUR IMAGES TO USE HOW YOU LIKE
After the session, you’ll receive a gallery of fully edited, high-resolution headshots ready to use anywhere – LinkedIn, websites, social media, or printed materials. And something a little different about me is that I believe that your photos are yours – once you have received your beautiful gallery, your images are yours to do what you like with. You can edit, crop, change the background, change the filter, add text, whatever works for you and your marketing – and you don’t need to credit me either!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is headshot photography?
Headshot photography captures a professional image of you, typically showing your face and upper body. These photos are used for LinkedIn profiles, company websites, social media, press features, or marketing materials. A good headshot conveys professionalism, confidence, and personality.
Why do I need a professional headshot?
A professional headshot helps you make a strong first impression online and in-person. It builds trust with clients, employers, or collaborators and ensures your image looks polished, consistent, and approachable. In competitive industries, a high-quality headshot can set you apart.
Do I need a headshot if I already have photos on my phone?
