Specialist portrait photographer in Kidsgrove creating professional portraits and business headshots with a lifestyle feel. I make studio and on-location sessions relaxed and authentic.
I’m Lilija Bekisa — a Kidsgrove-based portrait photographer who specialises in professional portraits and business headshots. My work lives at the intersection of lifestyle authenticity and studio polish: I aim to capture the real person behind the profile so your portrait reads as both professional and genuinely you. Why choose me for your portrait or headshot? I believe strong portraits are built on connection. I take time to understand how you want to present yourself — whether that’s a confident LinkedIn photo, a refined business portrait for company profiles, or a creative studio image for brand use. My approach is collaborative and calm: through gentle direction and a conversational shoot atmosphere I help even camera-shy clients relax and show natural expression. What makes my portraits different is the balance I bring. With experience in content photography and a background creating concepts for social feeds, I know how to compose images that work across digital platforms while keeping the subject central. That means headshots that look great on LinkedIn, business portraits that suit company websites and press, and portraits with a lifestyle edge that fit modern brand storytelling. How I work: every shoot starts with a simple conversation — we discuss your goals, preferred style, and the feeling you want the image to convey. From there I develop a concept that suits your brief and we choose a location: I shoot both in-studio and on location around Kidsgrove and the surrounding area. On the day I focus on creating a relaxed environment, using direction that’s clear but unobtrusive so authentic moments emerge naturally. I’m passionate about helping people and businesses present themselves honestly and memorably. If you want professional headshots or portraits with personality, tailored to your brand or career, I’ll bring a considered eye, an adaptable process, and images that feel true to you.
