Jackie Rado Photography

Jackie Rado is a portrait specialist who brings a warm, relaxed approach to every session. Based in Hanworth and working from a welcoming home studio in nearby Teddington, Jackie’s work focuses on creating timeless, beautifully lit portraits that genuinely reflect who you are. Her greatest pleasure is helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera so she can capture natural expressions and moments you will treasure. Why choose Jackie? With more than a decade as a full‑time photographer and features in publications such as Marie Claire and Travel + Leisure, Jackie combines technical skill with a gentle, conversational manner. She takes time to understand what matters to you, whether that’s a personal portrait, a headshot for professional use, or a photographed moment that will sit proudly on your wall for years to come. Her aim is always the same: to make you look and feel wonderful. Style and approach: Jackie favours classic, timeless imagery — careful composition, exquisite use of light and a focus on authentic character. She offers studio and on-location sessions tailored to the mood you want to convey. For business portraits and headshots she provides practical guidance on wardrobe and presentation so your images read well online and in print, helping you feel confident for LinkedIn, websites and promotional material. How she works: Every portrait begins with a pre-shoot conversation to clarify objectives, location and style. On the day Jackie creates a calm, encouraging atmosphere that helps even those who dislike being photographed to relax and enjoy the process. Sessions are purposeful but unhurried, and Jackie carefully guides poses and expressions to reveal natural personality. About a week after your session you’ll view a curated selection of images and choose the ones that best capture you. Her story and values: Jackie moved from a background in business consulting into photography, blending commercial rigour with a love of making portraits that matter. She is a member of the SWPP and continually invests in her craft and teaching. Whether you need a personal portrait or professional headshots, Jackie offers expert, empathetic portrait photography in Hanworth and across West London — creating images that help you look authentic, confident and unforgettable.
