Katie Lucas Photography

Katie Lucas Photography is based in Bowdon, Altrincham, and specialises in portrait photography with a friendly, human-centred approach. Katie’s strength is helping people feel at ease in front of the camera — whether you’re after a professional headshot for LinkedIn, a polished business portrait for your company site, or relaxed family portraits that capture real moments. She blends natural light with studio lighting when needed, choosing the setting that best expresses each client’s personality. What sets Katie apart is her emphasis on connection and authenticity. With years of experience working across commercial briefs and family sessions, she understands how to put people at their most natural. Shoots are relaxed and conversational; Katie often uses gentle direction, small prompts and playful moments to coax out genuine smiles and interactions. For parents with young children she brings patience and simple games to help even the shyest child feel comfortable — a benefit rooted in her own experience as a parent. Katie offers both studio portraits and on-location sessions around Altrincham and the North West. In studio, she uses controlled lighting and neutral backdrops for clean, professional headshots and business portraits. Outdoors she leverages natural light and familiar local settings for warmer, lifestyle-style portraits. The result is a portfolio of images that feel authentic, usable and carefully edited to present you at your best. How Katie works: a friendly pre-shoot conversation to understand your aims, thoughtful planning of location and look, a relaxed shoot designed to capture natural moments, and careful post-production to refine the final images. Clients appreciate her clear communication, calm presence on the day and the way she helps them feel confident in front of the lens. If you’re in Altrincham or the surrounding area and need portrait studio photography, professional headshots or business portraits, Katie Lucas Photography offers a considered, personal service focused on delivering images that look like you — only better.
