Paula Deegan Photography

I specialise in portrait photography — creating natural, expressive images that feel unmistakably like you. Based in Leatherhead, I work from a calm, friendly studio and also bring a portable setup to on-location shoots, making it easy for professionals and businesses to get consistent, polished portraits where it suits them. Why choose me? My approach is relaxed and collaborative. I make the whole experience straightforward: a quick chat beforehand to understand your goals, practical preparation tips, and a shoot designed to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I show images as we go so you can see what’s working and we can gently refine the direction together. That way we capture authentic expressions — the subtle warmth, confidence or edge you need for LinkedIn, professional profiles, company websites or marketing materials. My focus is on professional portraits and business headshots. Whether you need a flattering studio portrait, environmental headshot that shows you in your workspace, or portable studio headshots for a team day, I tailor the session to your brand and role. I take lots of frames so you’ll have strong options to choose from, and every selected image is retouched to a natural finish so you look like yourself on your best day. I place real value on making photos that work for your goals. That means thinking about how your portrait will be used (social, CV, press kits), giving clear advice on wardrobe and styling, and delivering files optimised for web and print. I’m time-sensitive and flexible with turnarounds when you need an image quickly. While my core expertise is portrait and business photography, I also photograph families on occasion. If you’re local to Leatherhead or nearby in the South East and want portraits that feel relaxed, authentic and carefully crafted, I’d love to chat. Get in touch and we’ll plan a session that reflects who you are and where you want your professional image to take you.
