Emilia Reilly Photography

Emilia Reilly Photography is a specialist portrait studio based in Eastwood (Giltbrook, Nottingham) with a clear focus on creating timeless, artful portraits. As an award‑winning portrait photographer, Emilia brings a calm, considered approach to every session — combining refined lighting, gentle posing guidance and a love of “less is more” to produce images that feel natural, elegant and personal. Why choose Emilia for your portrait? With a background in teaching and mentoring from industry leaders, Emilia blends technical expertise with a warm, reassuring manner that helps clients relax in front of the camera. Whether you’re after a studio family portrait, a maternity series that celebrates this unique chapter, or a professional headshot, her aim is always the same: to capture authentic expression, flattering light and a lasting connection you’ll be proud to display. How she works: Every portrait session begins with a friendly consultation to understand your vision — the mood, wardrobe and location that will best tell your story. Studio sessions take place in a cosy, well-equipped space in Giltbrook (next to IKEA), where Emilia’s curated collection of outfits, handmade props and textured backgrounds help create refined, magazine-quality images. For a more natural feel, relaxed outdoor sessions make the most of local Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire landscapes at golden hour. During the shoot, Emilia uses patient direction and playful prompts to bring out genuine smiles and subtle moments of connection. Her experience working with children and families means she knows the right rhythm to keep sessions fun and stress‑free. After the session, each image is carefully edited with a natural, polished finish — settling tones, moody darks or soft pastels depending on your preference — with professional retouching that preserves character while enhancing the final print. Products and presentation are part of the experience: clients receive a private online gallery and professional options for wall art, albums and keepsakes designed to become heirloom pieces. While portraiture is Emilia’s specialty, she also offers polished headshots for professional use, providing a clean, confident look suitable for LinkedIn or personal branding without losing the human touch. If you’re in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire or nearby and want portrait photography that feels personal, artistic and expertly crafted, Emilia Reilly Photography offers a thoughtful, client-first process to create images you’ll cherish for years.
