Jefferson Studios

Jefferson Studios is a specialist portrait studio based in Bedminster, Bristol. Established photographers Jeff & Malc have been crafting portraits since 1995 and built a reputation for high standards, attention to detail and a friendly, reliable service. Portrait photography is the heart of what they do — from family groups and maternity portraits to delicate newborn and pet sessions — each shoot is treated with the same care and creative focus. Their approach is simple and people-first. Jefferson Studios creates a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere so clients feel at ease in front of the camera. The team believe the success of any portrait comes from the interaction between photographer and subject, and they use gentle direction and light conversation to capture authentic expressions. Whether you’re camera-shy or coming with a lively crowd of children (and pets!), the studio is set up to make the session enjoyable and stress-free. Technically, the studio is fully kitted out to deliver consistent, professional results. They use an infinity cove, Bowens professional lighting and Nikon full-frame cameras, alongside a variety of backdrops and props to suit different styles. This equipment, combined with years of experience, means Jefferson Studios can craft clean, classic portraits as well as more contemporary looks — always tailored to the individual or family. While portrait photography is their core speciality, Jefferson Studios also provides business portrait and headshot services for professionals and teams. Headshots can be taken in the Bedminster studio or arranged on location for businesses that need on-site convenience. In every case the emphasis is on producing a polished, professional image that suits your industry and personal brand. From the initial conversation to the relaxed studio session and the calm viewing experience afterwards, Jefferson Studios focuses on making portrait photography personal, honest and memorable. Their passion for portraiture — combined with decades of hands-on experience — means clients leave with images that feel true to them and will be cherished for years to come. If you’re looking for a Bristol studio that specialises in portraiture with a warm, trustworthy approach, Jefferson Studios is built around that very promise.
