Specialist portrait studio in Crowborough offering professional headshots, LinkedIn portraits and personal portrait sessions. Gentle guidance, inclusive approach and authentic, confident images.
Velvet Sugar Studios is a specialist portrait studio based in Crowborough, serving East Sussex and the wider GB area. Led by Kylie, a professional photographer since 2017, the studio is built around a simple idea: portraits should reveal the real you. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, a professional business portrait or a personal portrait that reflects who you are, Velvet Sugar Studios focuses on creating images that feel honest, empowering and beautifully composed. Why choose Velvet Sugar Studios? Kylie combines technical experience with an empathetic, inclusive approach. Sessions are relaxed and collaborative — she listens to your story and your goals so every portrait reflects your personality and purpose. The studio atmosphere is calm and confidence-boosting, with clear posing guidance, music and a warm, judgement-free space where clients feel safe to explore different looks and expressions. What makes the approach special is the emphasis on authenticity and empowerment. Kylie’s background in documentary and empowerment photography shapes the way she directs a session: small, intentional cues rather than stiff poses, a focus on natural light and flattering composition, and considered retouching that enhances rather than alters. The result is professional portraits and headshots that look modern, approachable and true to you — ideal for business profiles, corporate use, personal branding and social platforms. How the process works: before your session Kylie will take time to understand your brief — who you want the image to speak to and what vibe you want to convey. On the day she offers encouraging posing guidance, wardrobe support and a calm pace so you can relax in front of the camera. After the shoot, images are carefully edited to deliver final files that you’ll be proud to use across websites, LinkedIn, marketing materials and prints. While portrait photography is the studio’s core speciality, Velvet Sugar Studios also undertakes family and creative art projects on occasion — always with the same thoughtful, inclusive approach. If you’re looking for professional portraits in Crowborough that put your confidence and character centre stage, Velvet Sugar Studios offers a tailored, reassuring experience and portraits designed to last.
