Nikki Cooper Photography

Hi, I’m Nikki — a portrait specialist based in Halesowen, serving Birmingham and the surrounding areas. My portrait work is all about helping you be seen as you truly are: confident, natural and entirely yourself. Whether you need a professional headshot for LinkedIn, a timeless portrait to hang at home, or a refreshed image for your business, I focus on creating images that feel honest and effortless. I shoot in a neutral, natural-light studio that was designed to be a calm, uncluttered space. It’s warm and welcoming with a simple backdrop so the attention stays on you. I’ll send a prep guide before your session and the studio wardrobe is available to borrow if you’d like extra outfit options — little details that make getting ready simple and stress free. My approach blends gentle direction with a relaxed documentary sensibility. I’ll guide you into flattering poses, offer simple prompts to get natural expressions, and give plenty of encouragement. If you’re nervous in front of a camera (I get it — I’m a mum too), I’ll help you settle quickly. The aim is to capture personality rather than stiff, posed smiles — portraits that look like you and make you want to be in the frame. As a portrait specialist I focus on delivering work that’s useful as well as beautiful: polished professional headshots for business profiles, approachable images for websites and social media, and personal portraits for family walls. While portrait photography is my primary focus, I also bring experience from my family and maternity work, which helps me capture warmth and relaxed connection in every frame. Working with me is collaborative and straightforward. We’ll have a pre-shoot chat to plan your session, I’ll make sure you’re comfortable on the day, and you’ll receive a curated gallery of edited images to choose from. My priority is that you leave the studio feeling reassured and thrilled with photographs that you’ll be proud to use and display. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer in Halesowen who specialises in natural, professional portraits and headshots, I’d love to hear about your project. Let’s make some portraits you’ll actually want to keep.
