Berties Photography

Welcome to Berties Photography’s portrait offering — crafted for people who don’t love having their picture taken but want portraits they’ll actually enjoy looking at. I’m Justine, an award-winning, qualified photographer based in Farnborough, Hampshire. I specialise in portrait photography: studio-style portraits, professional headshots and business portraits (perfect for LinkedIn and company profiles). Why choose me? Over the years I’ve built a reputation for putting even the most camera-shy people at ease. My approach is warm, enthusiastic and genuinely human — I smile a lot, I listen, and I make a point of getting to know you before we press the shutter. That means your portraits feel natural, flattering and unmistakably like you. What makes my portraits different is the combination of technical knowledge and people skills. I’ve trained with leading photographers and I understand light, flattering angles and composition. Equally important, I create a relaxed atmosphere: a quick chat, a few gentle prompts, and often the best images come from relaxed conversation and small, authentic moments rather than stiff poses. How we’ll work together: every portrait session starts with a conversation — we’ll talk about what you need (personal portrait, headshot, LinkedIn photo), your comfort levels and the look you want to achieve. I use a pre-shoot questionnaire and moodboard-style planning so the session is tailored to you. On the day I offer clear posing guidance, creative direction and a calm pace so you can be yourself. Sessions can be styled to feel studio-like or shot on location depending on what suits you best. Who this is for: professionals wanting a confident, modern headshot; small business owners needing characterful business portraits; individuals wanting a portrait that captures personality rather than a forced smile. I serve Farnborough and surrounding areas of Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire, and I’m happy to travel where needed. If you’re nervous about photos, you’re in the right place. Book a chat and let’s design a portrait session that reflects who you are — relaxed, real and beautifully photographed.
