Cheltenham portrait specialist creating natural, confident professional headshots and personal portraits. Suzi blends 20+ years' experience with a relaxed, Styled-or-Wild approach and a friendly pre-shoot consultation.
I’m Suzi, a Cheltenham-based portrait photographer passionate about making people look and feel their best. As an award-winning portrait and branding photographer with over 20 years’ experience, I specialise in professional headshots and business portraits while bringing a warm, natural feel to every personal portrait session. My aim is to create images that are authentic, flattering and perfectly suited to how you want to present yourself — whether for LinkedIn, your website, press or personal keepsakes. Why choose me for your portrait photography in Cheltenham and the Cotswolds? I combine a strong background in fashion and studio portraiture with a contemporary, relaxed approach. I call my style Styled or Wild: Styled because I’ll guide and direct you with an eye for composition, colour and wardrobe; Wild because I’m also there to capture the unposed, honest moments that show your real personality. This balance delivers professional, usable headshots and portraits that still feel human and engaging. How I work is simple and friendly. Every session starts with a discovery chat so I can understand your goals, brand and the story you want to tell. We’ll discuss locations, outfit choices and the look you’re aiming for, and I’ll often create a moodboard or client avatar to refine the plan. On the day I focus on making things relaxed — a bit of conversation, gentle direction and plenty of encouragement so even camera-shy clients feel at ease. I favour natural light and comfortable environments, shooting on location or at home when that suits the brief. For business portraits and headshots I pay close attention to how your images will be used: social profiles, websites, press or marketing materials. I deliver polished, professionally edited files that are ready to use while keeping the tone true to you. For personal and family portraits I aim for warmth, laughter and the little details that matter. If you want a portrait session in Cheltenham that feels enjoyable and results in images you love, let’s have a cuppa and a chat. I’m here to help you look confident, natural and completely you.
