Here are 5 reasons why you should consider updating your headshot in the new year with Lynn at North London Headshot Photography:

1. Refresh Your Image: Your headshot is often the first thing people see when they visit your website or social media profiles. A new headshot can help refresh your image and showcase your personality, style, and energy.

2. Stay Ahead of the Competition: In today's competitive market, having a professional and updated headshot sets you apart from the rest. It shows that you take your career seriously and that you're committed to making a great first impression.

Help The Sock Mob Help London's Homeless This Christmas




Hi everyone, As some of you know, I’ve been volunteering for 5 years with a brilliant organisation called The Sock Mob, a group which helps London’s homeless community.
Each week, volunteers go to various areas in the city, bringing food and drink, warm clothes, a smile and a chat to some of London’s most vulnerable people.
In the spirit of the season, I thought it might be an excellent time to let more people know about this group and all they do for the poor and hungry.
Having been ‘mobbing’ with the group last night and seeing so many people sleeping rough in increasingly cold temperatures, it occurred to me that others (who might not be able to join the group directly) might like to help, too.
Therefore, I have set up this page for anyone who would like to make a donation. Sock Mob volunteers purchase, make or collect all the items given out to the homeless, and with your help, more food, clothing, sleeping bags and even wool for the excellent #hatsofftothehomeless knitting campaign could be purchased to help our street friends.
Any amount is very much appreciated. And we would also be happy to have any sleeping bags, hats, scarves, gloves and other items of warm clothing.
Thanks so much for any and all help, happiest of holidays, and may all your days be merry and bright! :D Lynn

Trevor - Brighton

"Lynn was so easy and actually fun to work with. She had wonderful ideas for poses and encouraged our own ideas as well! The black and whites speak for themselves. I'm a regular cutomer and can't think of any photos I've ever had that even compared!"
Victoria - London

"I've hired Lynn a few times over the years to do some headshots for me. I don't particularly enjoy having my photo taken but I've always loved working with Lynn as she has an amazing energy and enthusiasm which is highly infectious. I've also recommended Lynn to friends on countless occasions and they have always been delighted not only with the results but the whole experience of working with Lynn."
Glenn - London

"Lynn has photographed my children throughout their lives, and the portraits she has created are among my family's most precious possessions. She is a gifted photographer and a lovely person to work with."
Deneen - London

"Lynn did portraits of my 4 year old daughter Arabella and they were exceptional. Lynn was seriously good fun, making my daughter relaxed and happy which made excellent photos that really captured her character."
Angela - Coventry

"Lynn did a great photo session, putting me at my ease straight away and making the whole experience fun. My family and I were thrilled with the photos - never knew I could look so good and so natural, speaking as someone who has always looked scary in photos until now!! Thanks, Lynn, for a thoroughly enjoyable shoot, and for getting the photos to me so promptly. I'll definitely be recommending to my friends!"
Joanna - London

" It was a great photoshoot with a photographer who made me feel comfortable and gave me plenty of direction. All for a reasonable price!"
Martina - London

"Lynn was great at getting exactly what I needed, good variety of shots, and a fun day!"
Sinead - London

"Lynn is one of the nicest coolest photographers I have ever posed for. She puts you at ease and is never afraid to accept suggestions or give direction. If you are lucky enough to be given a chance to visit her studios consider yourself very privileged."
Nick - London

"I was so pleased with the photos Lynn took. She is a great photographer and provided not only beautiful and highly treasured images, but was also so much fun to work with! Excellent value for money too!"
Caroline - Highgate

Stirling - London

"Lynn is a highly skilled professional photographer whose approach is imaginative but realistic, reliable and competitively priced."
Fiona - London

"Lynn shot our first family photos when our son was only a few months old. She knew exactly how to handle him and worked quickly to get the best from his short attention span. We were really pleased with the resulting pics and will certainly be returning for more."
Cath - London

"A great photgrapher with fantastic results of our kids and dog!"
Jamie - Highgate

"I had my headshot taken by Lynn Herrick and the result was amazing. Great job and very professional."
Zee - London

"Very professional and inexpensive. Friendly too!"
Des - London

"Lynn Herrick is a very good photographer. She knew what she was doing and made me feel relaxed and confident while taking shots."
Errol - London

"I met Lynn when she took some photos of our family. My kids were about 6 and 8 at the time. Lynn quickly suggested a few different set ups, and got the whole family in a great mood. She took exterior and studio shots and the results were really flattering and fun. I later needed a profile shot of myself for my design business and, again, the whole experience was very relaxed. I came away with a variety of shots which were flattering with a range of photos from formal to more casual."
Jo - London

"Lynn is an artistic, unique photographer, adapting to the preferences of her subjects. Excellent with babies and children but also sensitive to the elderly. Superb and tasteful, Lynn's pictures never fail to surpass expectations."
B.J. - Watford

"As someone who hates having her photo taken (and usually hates the unphotogenic result even more), I wasn't looking forward to having headshots done for my work as a freelance writer, even if it was essential. But Lynn not only made the whole experience fun, I came away with a string of great images which I've used regularly and it didn't cost a fortune. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lynn to anyone considering using her photographic services."
Cathy - London

"Lynn is brilliant working with adults and children alike and produces the most amazing, extraordinary pictures. I love her black and white work, and her colour shots. What characterises Lynn's work is flair, originality, fun, speed. She gets people to do all sorts of innovative things and produces the real essence of character through her photography. She is also efficient, quick, informed, and I think she nearly always undercharges for her work. I think she is brilliant with families, with individuals and as a public person myself, I trust Lynn every time to produce excellent work, to deadline. She is a great photographer and I would thoroughly recommend her every time!"
Corinne - Muswell Hill

Lynn never ceases to amaze me with the quality of her photography. She puts people at ease and works with her clients to get the very best shots possible. Everyone goes away happy with both the experience and the photos of course."
Steve - Richmond

"Lynn takes beautiful photos, she is fabulous with children and makes the whole experience fun, always with great results."
Susan - Muswell Hill

Nadia - London

She was creative and flexible and created a range of photographs for us that we've used for distributing to the press to feature online and in the print media. I was have no hesitation in recommending Lynn to anyone looking to get some photos done for any reason personal or professional."
James - London

Eddy - London

"Lynn took a great series of photographs of me which I've since used with national bylines and books. Not only is she a very talented photographer, but she was lovely to work with. She's the first person I recommend to fellow authors and journalists who need a great set of headshots and I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again."
Camilla - London

"I am lucky enough to have portraits taken of my son by Lynn. At the time he was only about 3 years old and they are my very favourite photos of him. A real treasured possession. Lynn has excellent technical ability but also is such a warm and friendly person that she is able to bring the best out of children which is reflected in her wonderful shots. I fully recommend her."
