Arc Studios Photography

Arc Studios Photography is a Lichfield-based portrait specialist led by Vivienne Bailey. With a background in press and PR photography and a studio-first approach, Vivienne brings years of practical experience to each portrait session — whether you’re after a striking personal portrait, a family keepsake or a professional business headshot for LinkedIn. Why choose Arc Studios for your portraits? Vivienne’s style is rooted in natural photography: she aims to capture authentic expressions and the personality behind the smile rather than forcing formal poses. That approach creates relaxed, timeless images that feel like you. Working from a friendly studio in Lichfield, Arc Studios combines professional lighting and careful composition with an easygoing atmosphere so even camera-shy clients feel at ease. Specialist portrait services include individual and family portraits and tailored business portraits and headshots. For business clients, Vivienne draws on her PR experience to create images that work across websites, corporate profiles and marketing materials — focused, professional and approachable. Headshots are crafted with attention to detail: flattering lighting, simple direction and subtle retouching to ensure a polished result that still looks natural. The Arc Studios process is straightforward and personal. Sessions begin with a relaxed conversation about your goals and preferred style, then continue in-studio where Vivienne uses props, backgrounds and lighting to suit the mood you want. Clients enjoy a private in-person viewing of their images, where selections and final finishes are chosen together. This collaborative step ensures the finished portraits reflect what matters most to you. Vivienne prides herself on delivering high-quality, usable images and a considerate experience from start to finish. Arc Studios values clarity, care and a professional finish — whether capturing the warmth of a family group or creating a business portrait that conveys credibility and personality. If you’re in the Lichfield or wider West Midlands area and want portrait photography with a natural, professional touch, Arc Studios offers experienced, client-focused sessions tailored to your needs.
