Susannah Sheppard Creative is a portrait specialist based in Epsom, focused on making portrait sessions feel personal, calm and purposeful. As a dedicated portrait photographer, Susannah aims to cut through stiff, formulaic images to create photographs that show who you really are — confident, approachable and unmistakably you. Why choose Susannah? Her approach is deliberately client-centred. Every portrait begins with a conversation: what you want your image to say, where it will be used, and how you want to be seen. That clarity guides the shoot, from lighting and composition to posing and expression. Whether you need a professional headshot for LinkedIn, a business portrait for company profiles or a contemporary personal portrait, Susannah brings a considered, artful eye to each session. Her background in art informs the way she composes and frames portraits, paying close attention to colour, texture and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. This artistic sensibility is applied in service of authenticity — her images favour natural expressions and relaxed posture, not forced smiles or over-posed gestures. The result is a collection of portraits that feel both polished and genuine. The experience is designed to be relaxed and collaborative. Sessions in the Epsom studio prioritise comfort: Susannah offers gentle direction, styling tips, and a reassuring presence so clients — even those who are camera shy — leave with images that reflect their best selves. For business clients, she focuses on presenting professional credibility while retaining personality; for personal portraits, she seeks the defining details that make the image uniquely yours. Susannah also draws on her artistic practice to elevate portrait work, ensuring each photograph works as both a professional asset and a piece of visual art.
