Jesse Beale Media

I’m Jesse at Jesse Beale Media — a Hayling Island‑based portrait specialist who loves creating professional, honest portraits that feel like you. My approach is intentionally laid back and observational: I capture moments and expressions in a non‑obtrusive manner so you look natural, confident and ready for whatever the image is needed for — from LinkedIn headshots to family portraits and lifestyle/brand sessions for artists and small businesses. Sessions are designed to be simple and stress‑free. My core outdoor/studio photoshoot includes a 2‑hour session and 15 expertly edited images, with the option to add extra edited photos. I work with you beforehand to agree on locations, wardrobe and the mood you want to achieve so the shoot feels tailored and relaxed. Whether you need a crisp professional headshot, a softer lifestyle portrait or a series of images for your social profiles, I frame each shot to tell your story — not just make a pretty picture. What sets my portrait work apart is a blend of documentary instincts and production experience. With a BA (Hons) in Media Production and years spent shooting people in candid and staged settings, I bring technical confidence to every session: great composition, flattering light and fast, careful editing. Turnaround is swift — images are delivered within the timeframe discussed (typically up to two weeks) so you can update your profiles or marketing without delay. I’m based on Hayling Island and serve clients across Hampshire and the UK. If you’re a professional after a polished LinkedIn photo or a creative who wants more storytelling portraits, I’ll work with you to craft images that fit the brief. I’m also available for lifestyle/brand photoshoots for artists and businesses (a complementary, secondary offering), producing images and short videos suitable for websites and social media. Booking is straightforward: get in touch, tell me what you need, and we’ll plan a relaxed session that feels true to you. My aim is always the same — authentic portraits that preserve personality, presence and confidence for years to come.
