Claire Ansell, a Hanworth-based branding and lifestyle photographer, specialises in professional portraits and business headshots. Calm, collaborative sessions capture natural, confident images.
As a specialist in portrait photography based in Hanworth, Claire Ansell brings the same thoughtful, storytelling-led approach to professional portraits and family portraits that defines her Branding Photography and Family Storytelling work. Claire positions portrait sessions as more than a set of images — they are a chance to express identity, personality and purpose, whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot or a relaxed family portrait that feels true-to-life. Why choose Claire? Her practice sits at the intersection of branding and lifestyle photography. That means business portraits are created with an eye for how they will represent you or your business — clean, professional and approachable — while family portraits focus on natural moments and connections rather than forced poses. Claire’s work emphasises authenticity: flattering, honest images that tell a clear visual story and work across print and online platforms. What makes her approach special is the blend of calm direction and collaborative planning. Every portrait session begins with a friendly conversation about purpose, audience and mood. Claire offers practical guidance on wardrobe, posture and expression, helping even camera-shy clients feel at ease. The result is a relaxed atmosphere where genuine expressions emerge, creating portraits that look and feel like the real you. How Claire works: sessions are tailored to each client’s needs — whether you’re booking a business headshot to refresh your professional profile or arranging a family portrait to mark a milestone. Expect clear communication, thoughtful preparation and a professional, unobtrusive presence during the shoot. Claire focuses on capturing decisive moments and subtle expressions so your final gallery includes a mix of polished, usable headshots and more candid, emotive portraits.
