Sammonds Photography

I’m Lynn — an Orpington/Chislehurst portrait photographer with 32 years of experience and a passion for making people look and feel their best. Portrait photography is at the heart of what I do: from crisp professional headshots for LinkedIn and company websites to relaxed family portraits and personal portraits that capture real personality. My approach is calm, friendly and highly focused on getting authentic results. I believe the best portraits come when people feel comfortable, so I work conversationally — offering simple direction, small adjustments to pose and lighting, and encouragement to help even camera-shy clients relax. Whether you need a confident business portrait, a natural headshot, or a warm family image, my sessions are tailored to your needs and the image you want to project. I shoot from my home studio in the Chislehurst/Orpington area where there’s easy parking and a comfortable atmosphere for clients. Studio sessions allow me to control light and background for consistent, professional results — ideal for business portraits and headshots used across websites, social media and marketing materials. For families and personal portraiture I aim to create a relaxed environment where genuine interactions and small moments become the most memorable images. Working with local businesses is also a strength: I understand how a well-crafted headshot or staff portrait can reinforce brand confidence and help businesses present a cohesive professional image. I take time before each session to discuss objectives, wardrobe and the final use of the photographs so we achieve images that work for you. Every shoot includes careful selection and finishing of images so the final photographs look polished while retaining natural character. My work is grounded in decades of experience across portraits, events and commercial photography — which means you benefit from technical skill, strong lighting control and an eye for flattering composition. If you’re looking for a portrait specialist in Chislehurst who delivers professional, authentic images with a relaxed, personal approach, get in touch. I love helping people present their best selves — whether for business profiles, family keepsakes or individual portraits that feel true to you.
