Jo Robbens Photography

I’m Jo Robbens — a portrait specialist based in East Molesey, working across London and Surrey. I photograph people who want authentic, natural portraits that feel like them: confident business headshots that help you stand out online, expressive senior and teen sessions that celebrate personality, and timeless portraiture crafted with the same care I bring to every commission. Why choose me? I’m passionate about making portrait photography a joyful, low-pressure experience. I create a warm, relaxed atmosphere so you can forget the camera and be yourself. My approach is conversational and personal — I take time to understand who you are, what you want to communicate and where your images will live, so every portrait is tailored to your story and your goals. What makes my work different is the blend of planning and feeling. We begin with a ‘getting to know you’ consultation — by video or in person — where we discuss styling, locations, mood boards and the practical details that make a shoot run smoothly. For business portraits I work with your brand, recommending backgrounds, wardrobe and angles so your headshots look polished and purposeful. For senior and personal portrait sessions I focus on locations and styling that reflect your personality; I can arrange hair and make-up to help you feel camera-ready. On the day I shoot in a calm, unhurried way. Whether it’s a concise headshot session or a two-hour senior shoot, I prioritise connection and expression over stiff posing. Back at the studio I carefully review every image and hand-edit the strongest selects — natural retouching that enhances, not erases, the real you. Business clients receive web- and print-ready files with usage licences; all portrait clients benefit from my attention to colour, tone and finish. Finally, I help you bring your images into everyday life. From digital delivery to bespoke wall art and thoughtful presentation, I guide you through viewing and selection so your portraits are enjoyed, not forgotten on a drive. If you’re in East Molesey, London or Surrey and want professional portraits with heart, let’s talk — I’d love to create images that make you feel seen.
