From contemporary studio lighting to gentle location shoots, her aim is to capture authentic expressions, strong presence and images you’ll want to use across personal and professional channels. What makes her approach special is the blend of creativity and clarity. Louise listens first—learning how you want to be seen—then guides posture, expression and wardrobe in a simple, friendly way so the result feels true to you. For business professionals she specialises in headshot sessions and LinkedIn-ready images that communicate confidence and approachability without feeling overly formal. For personal portraiture she focuses on flattering, natural poses and classic composition that stand the test of time. How Louise works with clients: sessions are tailored and unhurried. In-studio shoots benefit from a comfortable, accessible space stocked with backdrops and subtle lighting options; location portraits are planned to match the mood and context you prefer. Louise encourages collaboration—clients can be involved in styling and shot selection—and she provides clear guidance throughout the process to put you at ease. Her relaxed, professional manner helps capture candid moments as well as posed compositions. Rooted in Leicester, Louise takes pride in local relationships and repeat bookings from families, professionals and small businesses.
