Specialist portrait studio on Hayling Island. Naomi Lloyd crafts relaxed, story-driven professional portraits, headshots and business images that capture personality and purpose.
I specialise in portrait photography from my base on Hayling Island, bringing 18 years of experience and a story-first approach to every session. I believe portraiture is more than a flattering picture — it’s a way to introduce who you are, whether that’s for your business profile, LinkedIn headshot, family portrait or a maternity shoot that celebrates a life chapter. Why choose me? My work is quietly editorial and deeply human: relaxed, story-led images that feel authentic rather than staged. I’ve built my practice around connection — getting to know the person in front of the lens so the photographs reflect personality, values and intention. That focus makes my portraits powerful for business owners, creatives and professionals who need images that build trust and spark conversations. How I work: every session begins with a friendly pre-shoot conversation. We plan the look and feel together — location (Hayling Island, Portsmouth or elsewhere on the South Coast), outfit ideas, and the practical details that make a shoot run smoothly. On the day I create a calm, encouraging atmosphere: natural direction, simple posing and gentle encouragement so clients relax and the real moments come through. For business clients I offer story-driven headshots and branding sessions tailored to websites, LinkedIn and social media. As a published author and copywriter, I can also help with concise bio and profile copy so your images and words align. What to expect: a considered shoot, professional editing and a curated set of images you’ll be proud to use. I favour timeless, natural light images that translate well across print and digital — from press features to polished corporate profiles. I also photograph families and maternity sessions with the same warm, unobtrusive style, capturing honest connections and tender moments. Based in Hayling Island and serving Portsmouth, Hampshire and the wider South Coast, I aim to make portrait photography simple, meaningful and enjoyable. If you want portraits that tell your story — with confidence, clarity and a relaxed approach — let’s talk. Book a call and we’ll plan a session that feels like you.
