We Are Spirited

I’m Frances, founder of We Are Spirited — a cosy portrait studio in Peckham where portrait photography meets gentle coaching. I specialise in personal portraits and business headshots designed to help you feel confident, credible and utterly yourself in front of the camera. If you dread profile photos or need a LinkedIn-ready image that truly represents your professional presence, my approach is made for you. Why choose a specialist portrait studio in Peckham? Because portraits are more than flattering lighting and a crisp crop — they’re a tool for connection. My work blends practical posing, confidence-building techniques and moodboard-driven planning so each session produces professional portraits that feel honest and persuasive. I’ve worked with purpose-driven professionals and women change-makers who want images that reflect the authority and warmth of their work; I help them get there without awkwardness or performance. My portrait sessions are careful, relaxed and collaborative. Before you arrive we chat about goals and create a simple moodboard so we know the story we’re telling — whether that’s a polished business portrait for a website or an expressive personal portrait that marks a life chapter. In the studio I use natural light, considered backdrops and minimal props to keep the focus on you; I’ll guide where to stand, what to do with your hands, and how to project the presence you want to convey. There’s usually music, laughter and a lot of gentle direction to help you relax into genuine expression. I understand camera shyness because I’ve lived it — and I bring tools from coaching and long experience photographing people to make the process empowering. The result is a set of professional portraits and headshots you’ll feel proud to use across LinkedIn, websites, press features and social media. Clients often tell me the session changed how they show up online — from hesitant to confident. Based in Peckham, GB, We Are Spirited is a local portrait studio with a warm, purposeful approach to professional portraits and headshot photography. If you’d like images that reflect your best self — with clarity, warmth and authority — get in touch and let’s plan a session that leaves you camera-confident and ready to be seen.
