Nicola Jane Photography

If your business depends on connection, the most persuasive marketing asset is a portrait that feels like you. At Nicola Jane Photography I specialise in portrait work for female entrepreneurs in Bristol and the South West — professional headshots and business portraits crafted to tell your brand story with warmth and authenticity. Why choose Nicola Jane Photography for portraits? I bring more than two decades of photographic experience to every session. My background in visual merchandising and long years photographing people means I see the small details that transform a good image into one that truly represents you: posture, colour, props and the light that flatters your face and your brand. My approach is relaxed and collaborative — images are styled, considered and designed to feel natural rather than staged. What makes my portrait approach special is the balance between styling and storytelling. I work with you on colours, wardrobe and the look and feel we want to create, combining carefully styled shots with simple location or studio set-ups. The result is a versatile bank of portraits and headshots you can use across LinkedIn, your website, social media and marketing materials — images that help potential clients recognise the person behind the business and trust your offering. How I work with you: we start with a complimentary discovery call so I can understand your business and what you want your images to say. You’ll receive a brand workbook to help define tone and styling, followed by a 45-minute planning chat where we build a shoot brief and schedule. On the day I aim to make the session calm and confidence-building — I’ll guide you through poses, expressions and practical details so you look and feel like yourself in front of the camera. For busy founders who also need content, I offer workshop sessions focused on creating multiple images and short b-roll clips — a useful complement if you want a rapid bank of content for social media and marketing. Whether you need a polished LinkedIn headshot, lifestyle portraits that show you at work, or a cohesive set of images to lift your brand, I’ll create portraits that are honest, flattering and ready to use. Based in Bristol, I love helping female-led businesses show up with confidence through beautiful, thoughtful portrait photography.
