Lauren Pinhorn Photography

Lauren Pinhorn is a Chesham-based portrait specialist whose work is rooted in one clear mission: to help women and professionals see themselves as the confident, capable people they truly are. Working from South Buckinghamshire, Lauren brings over a decade of experience to a luxury studio practice that blends the drama of classic portraiture with a modern, authentic aesthetic. Why choose Lauren Pinhorn for your portrait? Her approach is deliberately personal. Having overcome her own struggles with confidence, Lauren’s photography is about more than flattering lighting — it’s about empathy, careful listening and guiding you to images that feel like the best version of yourself. She creates a calm, friendly atmosphere where even camera-shy clients relax and connect with the lens. The result is powerful, heirloom-quality portraits that are meant to be printed, displayed and passed down. How Lauren works is simple and supportive. Every portrait journey begins with a relaxed consultation — often a phone chat to explore how you want to be photographed and what matters most to you. Sessions are tailored: from styling and hair & make-up prep to creative direction in the studio or on location. During the shoot Lauren gives clear, encouraging guidance so you feel natural and poised; she loves capturing the small, honest moments that make a portrait feel true. The process continues with a private viewing where clients choose the images and presentation they love. Lauren is inspired by traditional, legacy art and encourages clients to invest in prints and pieces that become part of the home — not just files on a hard drive. While portraiture is her speciality, Lauren also helps business owners with professional headshots and business portraiture designed for LinkedIn, websites and social media. These sessions carry the same polished, confidence-first approach but with a focus on visual consistency and brand presence. If you’re in Chesham or the Chilterns and you’re ready to banish self-doubt and celebrate yourself with timeless, professional portraits, Lauren offers a warm, expert-led experience from first chat to final print. Her work is for people who want to feel seen — and to leave behind beautiful images that tell their story.
