Catch The Moment Photo & Studio

Catch The Moment Photo & Studio is Bristol’s specialist for portrait photography, led by Fariba Mathieson. With more than two decades working for businesses, magazines and families, Fariba has honed a calm, conversational studio style that helps even the camera-shy relax and show their truest selves. For anyone needing a professional portrait or business headshot, Catch The Moment combines technical skill with an intuitive sense for character and confidence. Why choose Catch The Moment for your portrait needs? Fariba treats every session as a collaboration. Whether you want a crisp LinkedIn photo, a polished headshot for your portfolio or a contemporary studio portrait, the focus is on capturing authentic expressions and purposeful lighting that reflect who you are. The studio environment is friendly and unhurried — the aim is to put you at ease so the images feel natural rather than posed. What makes the approach special is the balance of experience and attention to detail. Fariba’s background shooting for businesses and magazines means she understands how small changes in posture, expression and light translate to stronger professional images. Sessions are relaxed but directed: gentle guidance on posture and expression, careful use of studio lighting, and an emphasis on capturing a range of looks so you have choices that work across online profiles, corporate bios and personal branding. How we work with clients: every portrait begins with a short conversation about your goals—where the image will be used, the style you prefer, and any wardrobe or background considerations. In the studio we keep the mood friendly and constructive, offering real-time feedback so you can see what’s working. After the shoot, images are reviewed together to select the strongest frames. Fariba ensures the final portraits are refined while retaining the authenticity that makes them memorable. Rooted in Bristol and serving the wider GB market, Catch The Moment is dedicated to producing professional, characterful portraits that help clients present their best selves. If you’re looking for a portrait or headshot photographer who combines years of experience with a warm, personal approach, Catch The Moment offers a trusted studio experience tailored to your needs.
