Katrina Matthews Photography

I’m Katrina — a relaxed, fun-loving portrait photographer based near Berkhamsted. My work is all about real people being themselves: warm, natural portraits and confident, professional headshots that feel effortless. I specialise in portrait photography and bring a friendly, calm approach that helps even the most camera-shy clients relax and enjoy the session. My style is natural and documentary-led, but I know when to offer gentle direction so you look and feel your best. For personal portraits I focus on capturing personality and connection — the small gestures, big smiles and quiet moments that make an image special. For business portraits and professional headshots I work to create clean, modern images that read well online and on LinkedIn while keeping the session relaxed and approachable. I don’t rely on stiff posing. Instead I create simple, enjoyable prompts and little activities that let expressions emerge naturally — a quick stroll, a laugh, a conversation — so your photographs feel authentic rather than forced. If you prefer a studio look, I can create studio-style setups on location using portable backdrops and careful lighting to achieve that clean, polished finish without the formality of traditional posing. Sessions are tailored to you: location shoots around Berkhamsted and the Hertfordshire countryside, comfortable at-home portrait sessions for a personal feel, or focused corporate headshot sittings. I take time to plan each shoot, discuss wardrobe and the look you want, and ensure everyone feels at ease from the moment we meet. My priority is a friendly atmosphere where the camera becomes part of the day — not the focus. When you choose me for your portrait or business headshot, you’re choosing someone who cares about storytelling, authentic expression and images you’ll proudly share. Whether you need a relaxed family portrait, a contemporary professional headshot, or a portrait that simply captures who you are right now, I’d love to chat and help create portraits that feel like you. Based in the Berkhamsted area, I work across Hertfordshire and enjoy creating portraits that combine warmth, professionalism and a little bit of fun. Get in touch to discuss your portrait ideas and let’s make some beautiful, natural photographs together.
