LIFE Photography in Ashton in Makerfield creates relaxed, creative portrait studio sessions and professional headshots. We capture authentic, timeless images for personal and business use.
LIFE Photography brings the same passion and creative energy that built our wedding and commercial work to portrait photography. Based in Ashton in Makerfield, Anthony Parr (the face behind LIFE) specialises in portrait studio sessions and professional headshots designed to reveal personality, confidence and character — whether you need a striking LinkedIn photo, a polished business portrait or a personal portrait to treasure. Why choose LIFE for your portraits? LIFE is about combining classic craft with contemporary creativity. We take a considered, conversational approach that helps even camera-shy clients feel at ease. Sessions are relaxed and friendly, focused on capturing authentic expression rather than forced poses. The result is professional portraits that feel natural, flattering and true to you. Our approach and style: We tailor each shoot to suit the subject — from crisp, professional headshots for business use to more expressive studio portraits that reflect personal style. Lighting, composition and subtle direction are used to bring out defining features and genuine emotion. LIFE’s style is dynamic yet timeless: bold where it matters, respectful and modern in execution. How we work with you: Every portrait session begins with a short consultation to understand your goals — the look you want, where the images will be used and any specific requirements. We offer flexible studio sessions in Ashton in Makerfield and can arrange home visits when preferred. During the shoot you’ll be guided with simple, clear direction to create confident, natural images. After the session, selected images are carefully edited to enhance tone and clarity while keeping a natural finish.
