Stephie Howard Photography

Stephie Howard is a portrait specialist based in Faversham, Kent, known for evocative, quietly powerful images that put people — and especially mothers — at the centre of the story. Her work balances a documentary sensitivity with a refined, painterly eye: she looks for the small, honest moments that reveal character rather than relying on posed perfection. This is portrait photography that feels lived-in, intimate and real. Whether you're looking for a striking professional portrait or an evocative motherhood session, Stephie's practice is rooted in creating an easy, relaxed atmosphere. She approaches each shoot with gentle direction and a conversational style that helps even camera-shy clients feel at ease. Her aim is simple: to make images that look and feel like you, captured with care and considered composition. Stephie works primarily on location or in your home, crafting studio-quality portraits without the constraints of a formal studio. Before every session she collaborates with clients on mood, styling and location — offering practical suggestions to help shape the look and tone of the shoot. This collaborative pre-shoot planning ensures images are personal and cohesive, whether the focus is a timeless headshot for LinkedIn or an intimate portrait celebrating pregnancy and mothering. For business clients seeking professional headshots, Stephie adapts her sensitive, unobtrusive approach to create polished, approachable images that work across corporate and creative platforms. She understands how a single portrait can shape perception online and in print, and she tailors lighting and pose to deliver authentic, professional results. Serving Faversham, North Kent and London, Stephie blends technical skill with a human-centred process: clear communication, considered styling, and a calm presence on the day. Her work is driven by a love of people and a belief that the best portraits reveal a story — subtle, honest and enduring. If you want portraits that feel warm, genuine and artfully composed, Stephie offers a thoughtful, personal approach that puts your experience and your story first.
