Somerset portrait specialist Jo Connor creates authentic studio portraits in Burnham-on-Sea. Relaxed sessions, pre-shoot consultation and a cinema-style viewing to choose your favourites.
My name is Jo Connor and at Individual Photography I specialise in portrait photography — creating honest, timeless images that reflect who you really are. Based near Burnham-on-Sea, I combine professional qualifications (MPA and SWPP) and an award-winning eye with a warm, easy-going approach so clients feel relaxed from the moment they arrive. Why choose my studio? I never rush a session: booking is limited so each client receives focused attention. Before your shoot we have a pre-shoot consultation — face-to-face or by phone — to understand your ideas and advise on wardrobe, pose and styling. The studio is a calm, accessible environment with ample on-site parking and wheelchair access, making it straightforward for everyone to visit. My portrait style favours natural expression and carefully considered lighting rather than heavy retouching. Whether you want a contemporary headshot, a classic studio portrait or a personal image for a special occasion, I work to bring out authentic expressions and flattering composition. Sessions typically last around an hour, giving plenty of time to relax, experiment and capture a variety of looks. After the shoot I invite you to a cinema-style viewing in the studio where your images are presented as a slideshow set to music. This relaxed viewing helps clients choose the portraits that will be displayed in their homes or on their professional profiles. I can also advise on wall art, framed portraits, canvases or portfolio albums, and help visualise how pieces will look in your space. While portrait photography is my core expertise, I also offer professional business headshots and LinkedIn-ready images for freelancers and small teams — including the option to set up a mobile studio at your workplace. These are delivered with the same attention to detail and friendly service as my studio portraits. If you value quality, clarity and a personal studio experience in Burnham-on-Sea, I’d be pleased to work with you. Get in touch to discuss your portrait session and discover how I’ll help you look — and feel — great in your images.
