That client-led approach means each portrait reflects your story and purpose — from creative portfolio headshots to polished professional portraits intended for LinkedIn, company profiles or personal branding. Thom’s eye for subtle expression, clean composition and natural light helps produce images that look modern and approachable across digital and print applications. How Thom works: sessions are built around comfort and clarity. Pre-session guidance covers wardrobe, background and brief styling tips so you arrive prepared without pressure. In-studio, Thom uses gentle direction and simple, effective posing to bring out genuine moments and confident postures. For clients building a portfolio or updating business headshots, Thom offers options for multiple looks and follow-up edits to ensure the final images meet your objectives. Delivered images are carefully selected and refined — retouching and extra edits are available to enhance the finished portraits while keeping the subject’s natural character intact. Whether you need a single professional headshot or a set of portrait images for a creative portfolio, Thom balances technical skill with a warm, communicative approach that puts people at ease.
