Telling's Tails

Telling’s Tails is run by Ines Telling, a portrait specialist based in Epsom who prefers to work quietly behind the camera to capture the real you. Portraiture is her core passion: whether it’s a personal studio portrait, a relaxed at‑home family session or a polished headshot for work, Ines combines a warm, no‑pressure approach with an eye for natural light and authentic moments. Her style is gentle, conversational and unscripted — the kind that puts even camera‑shy people at ease and produces portraits that feel alive rather than staged. Why choose Ines? She brings decades of visual storytelling and film experience to every portrait session, along with a friendly, down‑to‑earth manner. Sessions are tailored: before we shoot we’ll have a consultation (or meet over coffee and cake) to understand what you want to say with your images. That prep makes the session relaxed and efficient, so the focus stays on connection and expression rather than poses. How she works: sessions can take place in her chosen studio locations, at Mayfield lavender fields and other outdoor spots nearby, or in the comfort of your own home — wherever you and your family feel most relaxed. For professional portraits and headshots, Ines creates a calm environment that helps people show confidence and approachability, ideal for LinkedIn, company profiles or personal branding. After the shoot she hand‑selects and carefully edits your images to deliver a cohesive gallery that tells your picture story. What makes her approach special is the balance of technical craft and empathy. The result is timeless portraits that reflect personality and relationship: intimate family moments, striking individual headshots, and characterful studio portraits. Based in Epsom, Surrey, Ines is proud to serve local clients across the area while keeping the experience personable and fun. If you want professional, honest portrait photography with a gentle touch and an emphasis on authentic connection, Telling’s Tails is ready to help you create images you’ll treasure.
