Doris Heinrich Photography

I’m Doris — a London portrait photographer who believes the best portraits come from relaxed, human moments. Based in Chelsea, I specialise in portrait photography and run studio and on-location sessions that put people at ease. My approach is inclusive, warm and conversational: I’ll guide you gently, make you laugh, and focus on capturing the real you rather than forcing poses. Why choose me for your portrait or headshot? After a degree in photography and more than a decade of professional experience, I’ve developed a calm, no‑pressure way of working that helps even nervous clients feel comfortable. I shoot with an emphasis on natural light and vibrant colour, creating images that are both flattering and authentic — portraits that look like you, only better. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn photo, a contemporary studio headshot, or a personal portrait to celebrate a moment, I treat each session with the same care and attention to detail. What makes my sessions different is the atmosphere I create. I aim for fun and ease: plenty of chatting, gentle direction and little moments of spontaneity. I sometimes share stories about my daughter Charlotte (a great distraction!) and a few silly jokes to keep things light. This relaxed rapport helps people forget the camera and allows genuine expressions to surface — the smiles, the thoughtful looks, the personality that defines you. Although portrait work is my core focus, I also offer business and branding portraits as an additional service for professionals and small businesses who want to elevate their visual presence. These sessions are tailored to your needs — from studio headshots to location portraits around Chelsea and greater London — and designed to help you communicate confidence and approachability online and in print. If you’re looking for a portrait experience that feels personal, inclusive and beautifully simple, let’s talk. I’ll listen to your goals, suggest the best setting and styling for your session, and deliver images that become a genuine reflection of you. I love what I do — capturing people, their stories and the small moments that make a portrait special — and I can’t wait to help you create images you’ll cherish.
