Maira Sheikh Ltd - Brand Photography

I’m Maira — a portrait photographer and personal-brand coach based in Ellesmere Port. At Photo-Portrait-Studio.online I focus on portrait photography as my core craft: professional headshots, business portraits and contemporary studio sessions designed to help people look and feel their most authentic, confident selves. My approach blends technical skill with a warm, coaching-led experience so you never feel like you’re simply ‘posing’ for a picture. Why choose me for your portrait? I specialise in creating polished, on-brand portraits that do more than look good — they communicate trust, competence and personality. Whether you need a clean LinkedIn photo, a suite of professional headshots for a team, or a personal portrait session in my home-style studio, I work to capture the nuance of who you are and how you want to be perceived. My clients often tell me they hate being photographed — and that’s exactly why I’ve built a process that quickly turns nerves into ease. How I work: every portrait session begins with a friendly planning call. We talk through your goals, styling, and the message you want your images to send. If you’re coming to my Ellesmere Port studio, you’ll receive a prep guide with outfit tips and posing suggestions so you arrive ready and relaxed. On the day, I’ll coach you through natural, flattering poses, adjust lighting for a contemporary look, and keep the atmosphere upbeat and reassuring — lots of laughter and none of the stiff ‘photoshoot’ pressure. After the session I carefully edit the selected images and deliver high-resolution files ready for LinkedIn, websites, press or print. My portrait sessions are ideal for business owners, professionals updating their headshots, and anyone who wants modern, approachable portraits that build confidence. As a photographer who also helps clients with personal-brand clarity, I understand how a single great portrait can shift how you show up — both online and in person. If you’re in Ellesmere Port or nearby and ready to upgrade your professional image, let’s chat. I’ll make sure your portrait session is comfortable, efficient and results-driven — leaving you with portraits that truly reflect the real you.
