Pixel Pets and Portraits

Pixel Pets and Portraits is a specialist portrait studio based in Billingham, North East England — where portrait photography is treated as a craft of connection. I’m Hannah, the face behind the camera, and my approach is simple: create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere so real personality and emotion can shine through. Whether you’re after a polished personal portrait, a studio family image, or a portrait session tailored to mark a milestone, I focus on capturing images that feel honest, flattering and timeless. What sets my portrait work apart is a laid-back, people-first style. I know that being in front of a camera can feel awkward, so I make sessions feel more like an easy conversation or playful time together. That’s especially important when working with children and pets — my studio is designed so everyone feels at ease, which leads to authentic smiles, quiet moments and expressions that truly represent you. My lighting and posing choices are gentle and unobtrusive, created to highlight personality rather than force stiff formality. I treat every portrait session as a collaboration. Before the shoot we’ll discuss your vision — the look you like, wardrobe tips, and any images you admire — so we arrive prepared but relaxed. On the day I guide you with simple prompts, encouraging natural movement and interaction that create genuine moments. The result is a gallery of images with variety: warm, candid shots alongside composed, classic portraits you’ll be proud to use at home or professionally. Although my core expertise is portrait photography, I tailor sessions for many needs — from family heirloom portraits to individuals wanting polished images for personal or professional use. My studio in Billingham offers a calm, comfortable setting and the technical know-how to produce flattering, high-quality results every time. Choosing Pixel Pets and Portraits means choosing a portrait photographer who values personality over posturing. I’m passionate about turning short moments into cherished photographs you’ll return to again and again. If you’re in Billingham or the wider North East and want portrait images that feel like you — warm, genuine and beautifully made — let’s talk and plan a session that suits your story.
