Sandi Studio offers specialist portrait photography in Dorchester. Sandra creates light-filled, romantic professional portraits and headshots in a relaxed, cozy Poundbury studio.
Sandi Studio Photography is your local Dorchester specialist for portrait photography — a place where quiet, light-filled images meet a relaxed, personal experience. I’m Sandra, and I’ve built my practice around creating romantic, timeless portraits that feel honest and uniquely yours. My work favours natural light, gentle direction and a calm studio atmosphere so every portrait transports you back to a moment in time. Why choose Sandi Studio for portraits? My years of experience photographing families, newborns and children have taught me how to put people at ease in front of the camera. That same gentle approach translates perfectly to professional headshots, business portraits and creative studio portraits: whether you’re updating a LinkedIn photo, commissioning a fine-art portrait or seeking a fresh professional look, I specialise in images that look natural, confident and unforgettable. My approach is simple and human. I take time to get to know you, listen to the look and feeling you want, then guide you through poses and subtle interactions that create authentic expressions. Sessions are relaxed and conversational — I’ll offer soft direction, wardrobe tips and small prompts to spark genuine emotion. The result is a gallery of edited portraits that feel personal and polished, with a mix of classic black-and-white and timeless colour work that suits your taste and purpose. Location matters: my cozy Poundbury studio in Dorchester is designed with comfort and natural light in mind. It’s a calm, welcoming space where clients tell me they can finally relax and be themselves. For business portraits and headshots I focus on producing clean, professional results that work across web profiles, company bios and printed material — always with that signature Sandi Studio warmth. I’m honoured that my images have been recognised internationally, but what I love most is helping real people capture their story. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer in Dorchester who combines technical craft, an eye for romantic, timeless composition and a genuinely kind approach, let’s create something beautiful together. Book a portrait session at Sandi Studio and bring your best self to the frame.
