Vicky Holmes brings the same warmth and easy humour she’s known for in family and business photography to her portrait work, creating natural, characterful images that reflect the real you. Her aim is simple: to make clients feel completely at ease so the portraits she creates are honest, confident and timeless. Vicky’s portrait approach is personal and practical. Sessions are relaxed and carefully planned — a friendly pre-shoot chat or creative call helps her understand your goals, where the images will be used and any styling or prop ideas you want to bring.

Bring a favourite prop, a change of outfit, and a mug for that inevitable cup of tea — the studio is made to feel like your own workspace so the session never feels forced. Specialist strengths include professional headshots and LinkedIn portraits for entrepreneurs, creatives and business owners, plus a wide range of personal portrait work. Drawing on her commercial experience, Vicky composes portraits that work both on-screen and in print: relaxed environmental headshots, clean studio portraits and warm, storytelling images that reveal personality. Her clients often comment that “that didn’t feel like a photoshoot at all” — a testament to her ability to build rapport quickly and create a calm atmosphere. Beyond technique, Vicky’s experience as a storyteller shines through. She knows how to use light, gentle direction and thoughtful composition to capture subtle expressions and authentic connection.
