The Doyle Collection’s headshot initiative returns for International Women’s Day this year

The Doyle Collection’s International Women’s Day headshot initiative returns once again this year, offering professional headshots for women in London, Dublin, Bristol, Cork, and Washington D.C.

One of those tasks that most of us put on the long finger, a professional portrait is an invaluable marketing tool and will go a long way in helping you get your name out there – be that on your own website, on social media or on LinkedIn.

Helping us to tick one more item off the to-do list, the Doyle Collection has been organising their headshot initiative for several years now to support women in business all across the globe. A day-long event organised to coincide with International Women’s Day, this year’s Irish sessions will run in both Dublin and Cork in early March.

Tickets cost €15, with any additional donations collected on the day going to support Daisy House – an Irish charity which helps women journey out of homelessness. 

You can find full details and booking information about the three Irish sessions below.

The Westbury, Dublin

At The Westbury, seasoned photographer Emily Quinn will capture each portrait within the iconic property. Emily has previously shot campaigns for House of Fraser, Arnotts and Avoca. Her most recent project saw her showcase an incredibly powerful collection titled The Art of Strength, in which she worked closely with stylist Catherine Condell to style and photograph Irish women portraying various inspiring women in Irish history, from Queen Maeve to Constance Markievicz.

The sessions at The Westbury will take place on Friday, March 1st from 9.30am – 4.30pm with refreshments served throughout the day and a selection of works from Emily’s The Art of Strength also on display. Bookings are available via Eventbrite.
