Kara skye photography

I’m Kara Skye — a portrait specialist working with individuals and businesses to create natural, contemporary images that feel effortlessly like you. With six years behind the camera and eight years’ experience in the modelling industry, I bring a calm, confident approach that helps even the most camera-shy clients relax. My style is contemporary, natural and — most importantly — fun and relaxed. My portrait work in Guildford focuses on two core areas: professional headshots and personal portfolios. For business portraits and headshot photography I aim to capture approachable, professional expressions that translate perfectly to LinkedIn, company websites and team profiles. For personal branding and model portfolios I help shape a versatile set of images that tell your story and showcase your personality and range. How I work: every session is tailored to you. Before we shoot I create a moodboard to map the look and tone we want — from lighting and colour to styling and movement. I’ll advise on wardrobe and locations (studio-quality set-ups or carefully chosen on-location backdrops) so the final images feel cohesive and intentional. On the day I keep things relaxed and conversational, guiding poses with a gentle, collaborative direction so you always feel in control. What sets my portrait photography apart is the combination of technical care and human connection. My background in modelling gives me a strong eye for pose, composition and flattering light, while my priority is always making people feel comfortable and themselves. That results in portraits that are authentic, flattering and polished — images you’ll be proud to share. If you’re preparing for a LinkedIn refresh, building a team gallery, updating a modelling portfolio or simply want a modern portrait that reflects who you are, I’ll work with you to build a session that fits your goals. Based in Guildford and experienced across business, portrait, family and wedding photography, I deliver thoughtful, professional portraits with a relaxed creative energy. Get in touch to discuss your portrait needs and I’ll put together a bespoke plan for your shoot.
