Portraits by Hart

Portraits by Hart is a specialist portrait studio serving Halesowen and the West Midlands. Founded in 1958, our family-run practice has spent decades perfecting studio portraiture — from intimate headshots for LinkedIn and business profiles to multi-generation family wall portraits. We position ourselves as portrait specialists: creating considered, timeless images that reflect personality and purpose. Why clients choose us: our approach blends technical skill with a relaxed, personal experience. As winners of over 50 SWPP Gold Awards and the SWPP UK Digital Art Photographer of the Year, we bring recognised creative standards to every session. Working in our dedicated studio, we use professional lighting and proven camera techniques to produce portraits with clarity, presence and subtle character — whether you need a professional headshot, an actor’s theatrical portrait or a classic family composition. Our process is friendly and straightforward. We begin with a short conversation to understand your goals — the tone you want, the uses for the images and any wardrobe or styling preferences. Sessions take place in our studio where we guide poses and expressions to help even camera-shy clients relax. After the shoot you return for a viewing, selecting the images you love. All finishing — retouching, printing and bespoke framing — is carried out on the premises, giving us total control over the final quality and ensuring prints and framed pieces are ready to hang. Specialist craft: our in-house retouching and printing mean we can refine portraits to a natural, flattering finish without losing authenticity. We also offer professional business portraits and headshots tailored for corporate profiles and LinkedIn — images designed to project confidence and approachability. Although portraiture is our core expertise, we support clients with complementary services performed in-house, including careful printing and bespoke framing so your portraits become enduring heirlooms. If you’re looking for a portrait studio in Halesowen that combines generations of experience, award-winning standards and a personal, hands-on service, Portraits by Hart is ready to help you create portraits that matter.
