Natasha Clarke Photography

I’m Natasha — a portrait specialist based in Colchester, Essex, focusing on professional headshots, business portraits and heartfelt family and maternity portraiture. My approach is rooted in natural, candid lifestyle portraiture: I use light, gentle direction and a friendly, empathetic style to help you feel relaxed and look like the best version of yourself. Why choose me for your portraits? With a background in design and years of experience creating brand and family imagery, I know how to balance flattering composition, natural light and real connection. Whether you need a standout LinkedIn headshot, a series of business portraits for your website and socials, or warm family and maternity portraits that celebrate this season of life, I specialise in creating wall-worthy, timeless images that feel true to you. What makes my portrait sessions different is the atmosphere I create. As a mum myself, I understand how important patience, positivity and calm are — especially when photographing families or nervous clients. I take time to get to know you before the session so by the time we meet it already feels comfortable. Expect helpful styling tips, a clear prep guide and gentle prompts on the day so you can focus on enjoying the experience rather than worrying about poses. How we work together: we’ll start with a friendly conversation to understand your goals — whether it’s a crisp professional headshot, a set of brand images or relaxed family and maternity portraits. Sessions are flexible and can be arranged at an outdoor location, at home or on-location around Colchester and the surrounding areas of Essex and Suffolk. I aim to capture a variety of looks and expressions so you leave with a gallery of usable images for websites, social media and prints. My aim is simple: to make portrait photography enjoyable and produce images you’ll be proud to share and display. If you’re after confident professional headshots or authentic family and maternity portraits made with care and creativity, let’s chat and plan a session that suits you.
