Dollhouse Photography

Dollhouse Photography is a specialist portrait studio based in Birmingham, led by internationally published, award‑winning photographer Chrissy Sparks. While Dollhouse is best known for its vintage boudoir and pin‑up makeovers, portrait work is a core focus — approached with the same cinematic styling, meticulous hair & make‑up and high‑end retouching that the studio is celebrated for. Why choose Dollhouse for your portraits? Chrissy brings years of experience directing confident, flattering images that reveal personality and presence. Whether you need a contemporary studio headshot, a LinkedIn-ready professional portrait or a styled personal portrait, Dollhouse applies expert lighting, composition and pose guidance so even camera‑shy clients feel at ease. The result is polished, authentic photographs that work for careers, portfolios or personal keepsakes. What makes our approach special is the full‑service, makeover‑led experience. In the comfortable Dollhouse studio in Birmingham you’ll be looked after by an all‑female team offering professional hair and make‑up, carefully selected wardrobe pieces and step‑by‑step posing direction. Chrissy’s background in fashion and editorial imagery means every portrait benefits from considered styling and world‑class retouching to deliver images with impact and subtlety — never overworked, always empowering. How we work: your session begins with a relaxed consultation so we can shape the mood, wardrobe and outcomes you want. On the day we take time to create looks, coach poses and capture a variety of expressions and angles. You’ll see previews and receive professionally edited high‑resolution images, with retouching tailored to your brief. While portrait photography is the primary specialism, Dollhouse also offers business and commercial portrait options for clients seeking professional headshots or executive images. Wherever your needs lie, Chrissy’s personable direction, attention to detail and polished aesthetic make the portrait process enjoyable and the photographs memorable. Based in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, Dollhouse Photography combines glamour, technical craft and client care to produce portraits that build confidence and tell your story.
