Laceys Studios

Laceys Studios is a specialist portrait studio rooted in a long photographic tradition and now led by Louise Donald in Acocks Green (Solihull). With a heritage that dates back to 1895, Laceys combines old-fashioned care with contemporary techniques to create portraits that feel both timeless and fresh. If you want professional portrait photography that looks natural and reflects who you really are, Laceys is built around that promise. Why choose Laceys? The studio’s approach is deliberately personal. Louise runs a small, homely studio designed to put people at ease — not a busy high street shop. That calm, relaxed environment helps even camera-shy clients relax, so she can capture genuine expressions and subtle moments. Laceys specialises in creative portraiture for individuals, children and families, focusing on composition, light and expression to tell each client’s story. What makes the approach special is the blend of creative flair and technical care. Louise uses modern digital workflows while maintaining a photographer’s eye for classic portraiture. The result is polished professional portraits that retain warmth and personality rather than looking overproduced. Attention to detail in posing, lighting and retouching ensures every image is flattering but authentic. How Laceys works with clients is straightforward and friendly. Sessions take place in the private studio where Louise guides each sitter with gentle direction and conversation, building rapport and confidence. For families and children she emphasises a relaxed pace and playful prompts to capture natural interactions; for individual portraits she focuses on mood, expression and a polished finish. Clients appreciate the personal attention and the comfortable atmosphere that makes the experience enjoyable as well as efficient. While portraiture and family photography are the core specialties, Laceys also offers business portraits and headshots as an additional service. Whether you need a professional headshot for LinkedIn or a timeless family portrait to display at home, Laceys Studios in Acocks Green provides thoughtful, affordable portrait photography delivered with care and craft.
