Sharmaine Sepehr Photography

Hi — I’m Sharmaine, a fun, creative (a little nerdy) portrait photographer based in Abingdon. I specialise in portrait and business portrait photography, helping small businesses and freelancers replace generic stock and awkward selfies with professional, on-brand headshots that actually feel like you. My approach is brand-led and people-first. I treat every portrait session like a mini brand shoot: we think about how your images will be used — LinkedIn, websites, press, social — and then create a relaxed studio session that brings out your personality. The result is a curated library of professional portraits and headshots that work hard for your business while remaining authentic and colourful. What makes my portrait studio different is the combination of creativity and clarity. I love colour, playful compositions and thoughtful styling, but I always keep the commercial purpose front and centre. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn photo, a series of professional headshots for your team, or a set of portraits to refresh your brand, I craft images that help you stand out and connect with the clients you want to attract. I know being photographed can feel awkward — that’s why my sessions are calm, friendly and very hands-on. I guide poses, expressions and wardrobe choices, and I tailor each shoot to your comfort level so you get natural, confident results. Before the session we’ll chat about goals, mood and usage so we can plan looks that fit your brand. After the shoot you’ll walk away with a versatile set of images you can use immediately across your marketing. Based in Abingdon and working across the UK, I focus on helping small, creative, independent businesses get visible with better visual content. If you want headshots that are professional but not stiff, and portraits that genuinely reflect who you are, I’d love to help. Book a quick discovery chat and we’ll plan a portrait session that’s fun, effective and unmistakably you.
