Herne Bay portrait specialists Doug & Sheila create relaxed, contemporary family and maternity portraits plus polished professional headshots. Boutique studio experience with styling, guidance and cinema‑style image reveal.
Style Photography have spent more than two decades refining a single promise: to make portrait photography feel effortless and meaningful. Based in Herne Bay, Doug & Sheila lead a small, award‑winning studio where portraiture is a craft — not a commodity. If you value considered lighting, calm direction and images you’ll proudly hang on the wall, this is the portrait studio for you. Why choose Style Photography for your portraits? Because they specialise. Their studio practice focuses on family and maternity portraiture alongside contemporary portrait work — including professional headshots and personal branding. That focus means every part of the experience is designed around creating relaxed, authentic images: the pre‑session conversation, the studio styling, the gentle posing and the expert post‑production that gives each portrait a timeless finish. Their approach is warm and personal. Doug & Sheila take time to understand who you are and how you want your portraits to feel. For families they create sessions that welcome children and grandparents with patience and humour so natural expressions appear without pressure. For maternity clients the team works to capture the quiet strength and anticipation of pregnancy with flattering gowns, considered backgrounds and intimate lighting. Professional portraits and headshots are handled with the same attention to detail, although positioned as a supportive, efficient service for busy professionals. Sessions are tailored to your brand and online needs — from relaxed LinkedIn headshots to more styled personal branding imagery — with professional retouching available to present your best, most authentic self. How we work: you’ll begin with a friendly planning call to shape the session. On the day, the studio environment is calm and modern — designed to put everyone at ease. After the shoot you’ll enjoy a cinema‑style reveal where images are presented at high resolution in a private viewing. Together you choose the pieces that suit your home or professional profile, and the studio’s finishing and framing expertise ensures your portraits look exceptional on display. Style Photography is run by practitioners who love portraiture. They combine technical skill, creative vision and a reassuring hands‑on manner so clients leave with beautiful, lasting portraits — and a pleasant memory of the day they were made. If you’re in Herne Bay or anywhere in Kent and want portraits that feel genuine and expertly made, Style Photography are specialists you can trust.
