Nicole Saunders Photography

I’m Nicole — a portrait specialist based in Bishop’s Stortford on the Hertfordshire/Essex borders. My work is rooted in one simple belief: the best portraits are the ones that feel like you. Whether you need a confident business headshot for LinkedIn, a polished team portrait for your website, or a personal portrait that tells a story, I bring a calm, conversational approach that helps even the most camera-shy people relax. Why choose Nicole Saunders Photography for your portraits? I combine a warm, natural style with a strategic understanding of how images work for businesses — shaped by years in corporate project management. That means beautiful photographs that also serve a purpose: to build trust, convey professionalism, and reflect the real person behind the brand. My approach is intentionally un-studio: I prefer to shoot you where you feel most yourself. We’ll choose a location that suits your personality and goals — your workspace, an on-location backdrop near Bishop’s Stortford, or a natural outdoor setting across Herts, Essex and London. This flexibility lets us capture authentic moments and create images that genuinely represent you. How I work with you: we start with a friendly chat to understand your needs and map the best locations, wardrobe and tone for the shoot. On the day I lightly direct and encourage natural movement, focusing on those unscripted moments that hold emotion and authority. After the session, you’ll receive a private online gallery of hand-edited images so you can choose the photos that best tell your story. I specialise in professional portraits and headshots tailored for business use — websites, press, speaking profiles and social platforms — and I also photograph families with the same relaxed, storytelling approach. If you’d like visuals that feel genuine, considered and strategic, I’ll help you show up with confidence. I love creating portraits that you’ll be proud to use and to live with. If you’re local to Bishop’s Stortford or nearby in Hertfordshire, Essex or London and want portraits that combine warmth, clarity and purpose, I’d love to talk about your vision. Nicole xo
