Anne Thomas Photography

Anne Thomas Photography brings a storytelling approach to portrait photography from the heart of Braintree. Anne believes a portrait should do more than show a face — it should reveal character, create trust and give your business a confident, approachable presence. Whether you need professional headshots for LinkedIn, polished portraits for your website or studio-style images that feel genuine, Anne specialises in portraits that connect. Why choose Anne? Her clients describe her sessions as relaxed, fun and completely unpressured. With a background steeped in visual storytelling and years of experience photographing business owners, speakers and entrepreneurs, Anne blends creative direction with a calm, conversational manner that helps even camera‑shy people relax. She uses natural light and considered composition to create flattering, authentic portraits that read beautifully online and in print. What makes her approach special is the focus on story. Anne starts by listening — understanding who you are, what you want to communicate and the audience you want to reach. That insight shapes a session that feels personal and purposeful. In the studio or on location in and around Braintree, Anne coaches posture, expression and small movements so your images feel effortless, not staged. The result is professional headshots and portraits that look natural, confident and entirely you. How she works: expect a friendly, professional process. Anne will take time to understand your brief, plan lighting and backgrounds that suit your tone, and guide you through the shoot with warmth and practical direction. If meeting in person isn’t convenient, Anne also offers virtual portrait options that use your own space and good natural light — ideal for busy professionals across the UK who need high-quality headshots without travel. Beyond one-to-one portrait sessions, Anne runs practical workshops and pop-up portrait events that help people learn to look and feel great in front of the camera. These sessions are a useful option for teams or those who want a confident, coached experience in a supportive group setting. Based in Braintree and working across the UK, Anne Thomas Photography is a specialist portrait studio that focuses on capturing the personality behind the professional image. If you want portraits that build connection and present your best self, Anne’s storytelling-led sessions are designed to make it easy — and enjoyable.
