Tina Allingham Photography

I’m Tina Allingham and portrait photography is at the heart of what I do. Based in Portchester, Fareham, my purpose‑built studio is designed to be relaxed, friendly and child‑wise — a space where children feel in charge and adults can be themselves. Since starting in 2005, I’ve chosen to specialise in portraiture because the best images come from time, patience and a personal approach rather than a conveyor‑belt shoot. Why choose me for portraits in Fareham? I combine years of experience working with children and families with a clear focus on creating authentic, timeless images. Whether you need family portraits, nursery and school leaver images, or professional headshots for LinkedIn and business profiles, I work at the pace of the person in front of the camera. My studio has a wide selection of backdrops and carefully chosen props, and I also shoot on location if your home or a favourite spot suits you better. My process is simple and personable. From your first enquiry I’ll chat through what you’d like to achieve, suggest backdrops or locations, and explain the session flow. In the studio I allow time for children to settle so smiles are genuine — this is something I learned from my early years working in school photography and from running shoots for nurseries. For professionals, I create a calm environment that produces natural, confident headshots without the corporate stiffness. All images are presented through an online proof gallery for easy viewing and ordering. Prints are produced to high standards via a trusted professional lab, and I can also supply digital files for web use or printing. I’m fully insured and DBS details are available on request for school and nursery work. Above all, my aim is to make portrait sessions enjoyable and stress‑free while delivering photographs you’ll treasure. If you want a portrait photographer in Fareham who prioritises personality, patience and professional results, I’d love to hear from you.
