Cinnamon Photography

Hello — I’m Pete, the photographer behind Cinnamon Photography, based in Billericay. Portrait photography is my core specialism: I focus on creating natural, relaxed images that reflect real personality. Whether you need a polished business headshot for LinkedIn, a personal portrait, or a relaxed family moment captured, I work to deliver photographs that feel genuine rather than staged. My approach is simple: put people at ease and let authentic moments surface. I shoot from a small cabin studio on the outskirts of Brentwood and frequently work on location in local parks, woodlands or in the comfort of your own home. Over two decades of photographing people have taught me how to read light, guide a pose with a light touch, and use natural surroundings to complement each subject. My background in service and project work also means I understand what corporate clients need from a headshot — clarity, consistency and a professional result delivered smoothly. Working with me is relaxed and collaborative. I start by talking through what you want to achieve — the look, the feel and any wardrobe or location ideas — then plan a session that helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera. During the shoot I use gentle direction and friendly conversation to create a calm atmosphere; most people find they quickly forget about the camera and relax into natural expressions. For business portraits and headshots I focus on producing images that are versatile for use across websites, social profiles and company materials. I care deeply about the emotional value of photographs. My interest in photography began when I was seven and that enthusiasm still drives me today — I love creating images that families and professionals will return to again and again. If you’re looking for a portrait specialist in Billericay who blends technical skill with a warm, personal approach, Cinnamon Photography is designed around that promise. Get in touch and we’ll plan a session that suits you — studio or location — and craft portraits you’ll be happy to share and keep.
