Carshalton portrait specialist offering bright, relaxed studio sessions and professional headshots. Shona captures authentic, timeless portraits with a natural, hand-edited finish.
As a portrait specialist based in Carshalton, I shape sessions around slowing down and capturing the real you. My approach combines a bright, relaxed studio environment with an eye for natural light and authentic expression. Whether you're after professional headshots for LinkedIn, timeless studio portraits, or maternity and family portraits that feel like a personal time capsule, I focus on creating images that look and feel like you. Why choose me? I'm a light chaser at heart — I use soft, natural light and minimal, considered styling to produce clean, timeless portraits that age gracefully. My sessions are intentionally unhurried so we can find those quiet, genuine moments that formal posing often misses. I hand-edit every image to bring out natural tones and preserve the emotion captured on the day. How I work: I guide you from first contact through to delivery. Before your session you'll receive outfit inspiration and a helpful consultation so we can plan a shoot suited to your needs. In the studio I create a relaxed, child-led atmosphere for families and a calm, focused space for professional headshots. For on-location portraits I choose settings around Carshalton and nearby parks to take advantage of seasonal light and scenery. My process is simple and client-focused: we get comfortable, let your personality lead, then I carefully edit your images and present them in a personalised online gallery for easy viewing and selection. I pride myself on making camera-shy clients feel at ease — many tell me they enjoyed the session more than they expected and loved their final images. A little about me: I'm a Scottish lass living in Carshalton who fell into professional photography after photographing my son. I love the outdoors, hiking and paddleboarding, and I bring that same curiosity and calm energy to every portrait session. If you want professional, natural portraits or headshots that reflect who you really are, I'm here to guide you and create memories you'll treasure.
