Yes, a professional headshot is absolutely worth it.
A high-quality headshot gives you versatile images you can use on LinkedIn and across your social media, website, marketing materials, and PR.
It shows you are serious about your career and have made the effort to present yourself at your best.
The session itself only takes about an hour, but the return on this small investment can be significant, helping you land a new role, promotion, or opportunity.
Headshots are simple, professional images focused on your face and shoulders for use in formal settings like LinkedIn or company profiles.
Personal Branding Portraits are a broader collection of images that showcase your personality, story, and brand through varied settings, poses, and outfits for use across websites, social media, and marketing materials
My service area is a 15 km radius from Sydney’s CBD.
If you live further away but you are looking for a natural light photo shoot, I can organise a location within the 15km, if you don’t mind travelling to the location.
I can travel outside the radius but I charge additional travel costs
Before The Photo Shoot
Georgie does not have a studio but she offers the convenience of visiting your office, home, or preferred location.
Georgie will call you and discuss the following:
- Location
- Style of photos (natural light or studio look)
- What to wear
- Any questions you may have
Read a blog written by Georgie Greene for people looking to make the most out of their photo session.
Wear clothing that you enjoy wearing that makes you feel comfortable and confident – it will show in the lens
Avoid badly fitting clothes as your discomfort will show in the photos (try your clothes on before the photo shoot and make sure they fit)
Choose solid colours over busy patterns and loud logos as they distract from your face
Neutral colours are more professional or wear a colour that reflects your eye colour
Modest necklines rather than low cut
Keep accessories minimal
Generally you don’t need to hire a hair and make-up artist, your normal every day make-up will be fine for the photo shoot.
If you want to have professional make up done, book a session at a MECCA store, they are located everywhere in Sydney.

The goal of re-touching is to improve the overall look of a headshot or portrait. Therefore, providing the image with a polished and professional look. Moreover, this process involves techniques, like removing spots, smoothing skin, brightening eyes, and whitening teeth. In addition, Georgie ensures that your images remain natural and real throughout the retouching process.
The photos are provided for both personal, and professional promotion and marketing purpose, spanning across printing (brochures), websites, conferences, and social media.
