Why choose Paula? Her work is rooted in a love of people and community. As a local photographer who grew from a long-standing interest in theatre and storytelling, Paula has an instinct for timing, light and expression — the very qualities that turn a simple headshot into a memorable professional portrait, or a family portrait into a keepsake full of personality. Clients come to her for a warm, low-pressure experience and leave with images that feel authentic and polished. What makes the approach special is the balance of relaxed atmosphere and professional attention to detail. Sessions are tailored to each client: whether you need a confident LinkedIn photo, an updated company headshot, or a classic studio portrait, Paula creates an environment that calms nerves and encourages natural expressions. Her theatre background helps when working with performers or clients who want dynamic, characterful portraits; her community ties in Peacehaven and Newhaven mean she understands local needs and styles. How Paula works: every portrait project begins with a friendly conversation about purpose, style and practical needs. On the day, she provides gentle direction, subtle lighting adjustments and creative framing to capture timeless images. Clients can choose studio or outdoor locations depending on the desired mood. Final images are professionally edited and delivered as high-quality files, with print options available for those who want framed or wall-ready portraits.
