Jodie Allen Photography

As a specialist in portrait photography based in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, Jodie Allen brings over 15 years of experience photographing people with a calm, natural approach. Jodie’s work centres on creating authentic, relaxed portraits that reflect who you really are — whether that’s a personal family portrait, a confident LinkedIn headshot or a series of professional images for your business. Her background in photography (BA Hons) and years working across editorial, lifestyle and commercial shoots inform a refined eye for light, composition and genuine expression. Jodie positions portraiture as her core expertise. She believes great portraits start with a conversation: before every session she takes time to understand your goals, discusses locations or studio options, offers wardrobe guidance and suggests how best to present your personality on camera. On the day she creates a welcoming, unhurried atmosphere so even camera-shy clients feel comfortable — the result is natural-looking images that tell your story without feeling staged. For business clients, Jodie specialises in professional headshots and business portraits designed for websites, LinkedIn and marketing. Her approach is practical and personable: quick, efficient sessions for teams or longer individual shoots for senior profiles, all captured in a style that balances professionalism with approachability. Light, respectful retouching is available on request, while core editing focuses on colour balance and natural tones to keep images true to life. Sessions can be arranged in-studio or on location around Hertfordshire and nearby areas, giving you flexibility to choose the setting that best suits your image. After the shoot you’ll receive a curated gallery of high-resolution images, selected and edited to Jodie’s natural style — easy to download and share for personal use or business promotion. Choosing Jodie Allen Photography means choosing a portrait specialist who values authenticity, a relaxed client experience and images you’ll be proud to display. If you’d like to discuss a headshot refresh, family portrait or a branding session, Jodie is happy to meet in person or via video call to plan a session that works for you.
