Bethany Lavin Photography

Bethany Lavin is a portrait specialist based in Carshalton, focused on creating professional portraits and headshots that feel natural, confident and distinctly you. Her work centres on helping people present their best selves online and in person—whether that’s a clean LinkedIn headshot, a personable business portrait or a set of images to support personal branding. Why choose Bethany? She blends a studio-polish with a relaxed approach, so clients leave with images that are both professional and approachable. Her priority is to capture authentic expression rather than stiff, posed pictures. That means guiding you through simple, flattering directions, finding the light and background that suit your role, and shaping each shot to match the tone you want—authoritative, friendly, creative or corporate. What makes her approach special is attention to personality and purpose. Bethany treats every session as a collaboration: before the shoot she listens to how you will use the images, who your audience is and what impression you want to make. On the day she focuses on creating a calm, confidence-building atmosphere in her Carshalton studio so clients can relax and be themselves. Small details—like posture, eye line, wardrobe tweaks and subtle changes in expression—are used deliberately to craft portraits that work across websites, social profiles and business materials. How she works: sessions are straightforward and centred on the client. You’ll get friendly direction throughout, a clear plan for different looks (for example, one more formal and one more relaxed), and help choosing poses and angles that suit your face and profession. Bethany delivers polished, retouched images that maintain natural skin tones and genuine expression—photos designed to build trust and present a cohesive personal brand. Passionate about portraiture, Bethany enjoys helping individuals and business owners clarify their visual identity. If you’re in Carshalton or the surrounding area and need professional headshots or portraits that combine warmth, clarity and purpose, Bethany Lavin offers a portrait studio experience focused on results that feel true to you.
