Elena at Cup of Green Photography offers specialist portrait sessions in Caterham. Natural, relaxed portraits and professional headshots that reflect your personality and brand.
I’m Elena, the photographer behind Cup of Green Photography, based in Caterham. I specialise in portrait photography — from individual headshots and LinkedIn photos to creative personal portraits and business portraits that help you look and feel like yourself. My approach is relaxed, people-first and rooted in quiet documentary-style moments, so your images feel honest, effortless and timeless. Why choose me for your portrait? I combine a gentle, conversational style with thoughtful creative direction so even camera-shy clients feel at ease. My background running an HR consultancy means I understand how professionals want to present themselves: confident, approachable and authentic. I bring that same empathy to every portrait session, guiding you through poses, expressions and small adjustments that make a big difference on camera. What makes my portraits different is the focus on personality and storytelling. I look for the little glances, natural smiles and relaxed moments that reveal who you really are — then I shape them into clean, polished images suitable for professional profiles, websites and printed portraits. Whether you need a crisp headshot for LinkedIn, a set of business portraits for your website, or a personality-led portrait session, I craft photographs that are both flattering and genuine. How I work: every portrait begins with a friendly planning conversation so we can define the mood, purpose and practical details. On the day I create a calm, enjoyable atmosphere and offer gentle direction to capture natural expressions. After the shoot, I carefully edit your images to a high standard and deliver them via a private online gallery with clear usage guidance for both digital and print. Serving Caterham and clients across the UK, I’m passionate about making portrait sessions simple, enjoyable and meaningful. If you want studio-quality results with a relaxed, authentic process, let’s chat — I’d love to help you create portraits that feel like you and work hard for your personal or professional brand.
