Specialist portrait studio in Dover. Mudpies N' Butterflies Studios creates natural‑light, authentic portraits — from individual and family portraits to maternity and professional headshots.
Mudpies N' Butterflies Studios is a specialist portrait studio serving Dover, GB, with a clear focus on capturing personal, authentic images that feel like you. Portrait photography is at the heart of what we do — we centre each session on connection, comfort and natural light to create portraits that look effortless and timeless. Why choose Mudpies N' Butterflies? We approach portraiture as a collaborative, human-centred craft. Rather than forcing rigid poses, we cultivate a relaxed atmosphere and a conversational style that lets personalities emerge. Whether you want a striking single portrait, a warm family image, or a glowing maternity session, our priority is to translate your story into refined, flattering images. We adore getting to know our clients — that personal rapport shows up in photographs that feel genuine, not staged. What makes our approach special is a blend of thoughtful styling, natural‑light technique and gentle guidance. Sessions take place in our private studio spaces or at carefully chosen outdoor locations when a different mood is desired. We work with you on wardrobe, poses and simple styling so the final images are cohesive and true to your vision. Our editing emphasises natural tones and clean retouching to preserve the integrity of each moment. While portrait work is our speciality, we also accommodate family and maternity portrait priorities as part of our core offering. If you require business portraits or professional headshots (for LinkedIn or company profiles), we provide polished, professional options as an additional service — delivered with the same warm, client-first experience, though our primary passion remains personal portraiture. From first contact through to your finished images, Mudpies N' Butterflies Studios aims to make portrait sessions enjoyable, uncomplicated and memorable. If you value a portrait photographer who prioritises authenticity, natural light and a relaxed studio experience in Dover, we’re ready to create images you’ll cherish for years to come.
