East Grinstead portrait studio &Pip delivers strategy-led professional portraits and LinkedIn headshots. Pippa’s relaxed, strategic approach creates authentic images that help your brand stand out.
At &Pip, portrait photography is a strategic tool — not just a pretty picture. Based in East Grinstead, Pippa Tanko brings 18 years of experience to focused, strategy-led portrait sessions that help creative business owners, makers and solopreneurs show up with confidence. Whether you need a professional headshot for LinkedIn, a set of personal-brand portraits for your website, or expressive images that reveal the personality behind your business, &Pip specialises in capturing the authentic moments that connect you with your ideal clients. Why choose &Pip? I combine commercial thinking with a warm, coaching-led approach so clients feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. My work is rooted in brand strategy — we begin by understanding who you are, who you want to attract and what perception you want to create. That clarity shapes moodboards, styling choices and shot lists so every image has purpose. The result is a bank of versatile portraits and headshots that you can use across your website, socials and marketing — images that help you stand out, build trust and command a higher price. How I work with you: I start with a friendly discovery call to learn about your business and goals. We then run a focused strategy session to define the visual story, create a moodboard and plan the shoot so you know exactly what to expect. On shoot day I lead with gentle direction and practical styling tips to keep the atmosphere relaxed and productive — clients frequently tell me they felt at ease and enjoyed the experience. After the session, I carefully edit and colour-grade the images to match your brand’s look and deliver a curated collection ready for immediate use. This studio approach is ideal for creative professionals — brand designers, jewellery makers, interior designers and other makers — who need professional portraits that feel both personal and polished. If you value imagery that’s purposeful, personality-led and strategically crafted to attract dream clients, &Pip in East Grinstead is built for you. Ready to elevate your portrait imagery?
