Anaeka Photography

I’m Anaeka — a portrait specialist based in Burton upon Trent, passionate about creating soulful, natural images that tell your story. Whether you need a professional headshot for LinkedIn, cohesive visuals to elevate your personal brand, or timeless studio portraits of your family, my approach focuses on authenticity, comfort and connection. My style is light and airy, true to colour and honest in emotion. I don’t rely on heavy filters or overly staged poses; instead I create a relaxed studio environment where genuine expression can shine. For family and children I use a child-led, play-based approach so little ones feel free to be themselves. For business owners and creatives I combine visual storytelling with a clear understanding of your brand ethos so your portraits work hard across your website and socials. Working with me is collaborative and straightforward. For personal branding shoots I start with a Brand Clarity Questionnaire and a Brand Clarity Call to understand your values, colours and the messages you want to convey. I provide a thorough preparation guide covering hair, makeup, outfits, locations and helpful prop suggestions so you arrive confident and ready. On the day you’ll receive friendly guidance on posing and expression, unlimited outfit changes within your session time, and a calm, fun atmosphere that puts you at ease. All images are individually hand-edited for a polished, natural finish — light skin retouching and blemish removal are handled with care so your photos remain authentic and print-ready. You’ll receive your images via an online gallery for easy download and sharing, and I can help with professional printing and wall art options through trusted lab partners. As a former optometrist who once worked at the London 2012 Olympics, I bring attention to detail and a professional, caring manner to every shoot. I’m fully insured, DBS checked and proud to be a Member of the Guild of Photographers, which means you can trust both my craft and my commitment to safety and quality. If you’re in Burton upon Trent or nearby and want portraits that feel genuine, soulful and ready to represent you or your family, I’d love to hear about your vision and help bring it to life.
