Naturally Captured by Hayley

As Naturally Captured by Hayley, I specialise in portrait photography from my Borehamwood base, creating professional portraits and headshots that feel genuine and timeless. My work is rooted in a natural, unposed approach — I aim to capture the small, telling moments that reveal who you really are rather than forcing stiff poses. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, a refined business portrait, or a personal studio portrait, I focus on producing images that connect and feel honest. What sets my portrait work apart is a blend of photographic care and personal attention. I bring my love of natural light, attention to detail and a relaxed energy to every shoot. As someone who enjoys meeting new people and learning what makes them tick, I create an atmosphere where clients feel at ease — especially those who are nervous in front of a camera. The result is expressive, authentic portraits that translate well across print, websites and social media. My process is collaborative and straightforward: we start with a pre-shoot conversation to understand your goals and where the images will be used. I advise on location (studio, a meaningful on-location setting, or a natural outdoor backdrop), styling and simple ways to feel comfortable on camera. During the session I guide you with gentle prompts, encouraging natural movement and interaction so the photos feel lived-in, not staged. I shoot with professional Canon equipment to ensure crisp, high-quality files that are ready for professional use. Beyond technical quality, I care about storytelling. Each portrait I create is intended to be part of your personal or business story — images that will stand the test of time and still feel relevant months and years later. Based in Borehamwood and serving Hertfordshire and North West London, I welcome individuals, entrepreneurs and professionals who want portraits that reflect personality and purpose. If you value relaxed, authentic portraiture and professional results, let’s have a chat. I offer a friendly, no-obligation introduction call to explore your brief and create portraits that truly feel like you.
