Specialist portrait photographer in Chatham, Kent. Clare creates relaxed, authentic portraits—on location or at home—plus professional business headshots and maternity/new-baby portrait packages.
I’m Clare from Precious Photography, a Chatham-based portrait specialist who began photographing life at home long before it became my profession. As a mum who loves filling our home with precious memories, I bring the same warmth, patience and attention to detail to every session I shoot. My focus is portrait photography. Whether you want relaxed family portraits, studio‑style images achieved on location or professional business headshots for LinkedIn and corporate profiles, I work to create natural, authentic images that feel like you. I know how to help the camera-shy relax — a gentle, conversational approach means smiles feel real and moments stay true. How I work: portrait sessions are flexible and made to fit your life. Choose a one-hour portrait session or upgrade to a luxury two-hour session — both are available on location or in the comfort of your own home. Every client receives a private online gallery to view and download professionally edited images. For new families I offer a New Baby package with three shoots across the first year and a keepsake photobook presented at the end of the sessions. I’m proud to offer professional portraits and business headshots tailored to the way you want to be seen. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn image, a warm director’s portrait, or a relaxed family shot, I’ll guide you through pose, lighting and wardrobe so your final images look effortless and authentic. I love a wedding and that experience informs how I capture people — quickly noticing those small, telling gestures and turning them into lasting photographs. I also offer maternity and new-baby sessions as part of my portrait work, designed to preserve those life-changing moments. Choosing Precious Photography means choosing someone who cares: I combine a friendly, personal approach with professional results. From the first message to your private gallery, I’ll make the experience calm, enjoyable and tailored to you. If you’d like studio-quality portraits without the fuss of a studio, get in touch and let’s plan a session in Chatham or nearby locations that suits your family or business needs.
