Katherine Barnes Photography

Katherine Barnes is a portrait specialist who brings a relaxed, human touch to every portrait session. With a BA in Photography and years of experience shooting in both the UK and abroad, she focuses on making clients feel comfortable so she can capture confident, natural images that really look like them. Working from a cosy studio base and on location across Keynsham and the South West, Katherine combines technical skill with a warm, conversational approach. Why choose Katherine for your portraits? Her work is rooted in portraiture and studio practice — she knows how to use light, composition and subtle direction to highlight personality without forcing poses. Whether you need a timeless studio portrait, a contemporary headshot for professional profiles, or natural lifestyle images, Katherine’s sessions are calm, unhurried and tailored to you. Her background photographing families, actor headshots and architecture means she understands how to compose flattering images that work across print and digital platforms. How she works: sessions begin with a short conversation about the look and purpose of your portraits — LinkedIn or corporate headshots, actor headshots, or personal portraits for home and gifting. On the day Katherine gently guides you through poses and expressions, offering practical tips and outfit suggestions so you leave relaxed and confident. Proof galleries are shared afterwards so you can choose the final images, which Katherine then professionally edits for a polished, authentic result. Specialist focus and local presence: positioned as a portrait expert in Keynsham (serving the wider GB South West area), Katherine prioritises portrait and studio work above all. She also offers business and professional headshots as a secondary area of service for clients who need strong, on-brand imagery for websites, LinkedIn and company profiles. The experience is friendly and straightforward — a comfortable studio atmosphere or a chosen local location, clear communication throughout, and final images delivered ready to use. If you want portraits that feel effortless and genuinely you, Katherine Barnes offers a specialist, professional portrait service in Keynsham with the personal touch that makes the difference.
