Lyndsey Ayres Photography

Specialist portrait photography in Radcliffe I’m Lyndsey Ayres — a portrait specialist who believes a great portrait does more than look lovely; it expresses who you are. Based in Radcliffe with a purpose-built studio in Walshaw, Bury, I focus on creating relaxed, studio-based portraits and professional headshots that feel authentic and effortless. My approach is rooted in the same philosophy I use across my work: to express, empower and engage — so every image works hard for you. Why choose me for your portrait or headshot? Clients come to me because I combine a calm, friendly manner with clear creative direction. Whether you need a professional LinkedIn photo, an actor’s headshot or a contemporary studio portrait, I work to put people at ease. My sessions are intentionally unhurried: you’ll get prep notes beforehand, on-the-day guidance, natural backdrops and flattering lighting so your portraits feel confident, polished and genuinely you. I’m known for attention to detail, a professional approach and — most importantly — photographs that reflect the real person in front of the camera. How the portrait experience works Every shoot is a collaboration. We start with a simple conversation about your goals and style, then I send practical prep guidance (outfit and prop suggestions) so you arrive ready. In the studio I’ll guide your pose and expression with gentle direction and encouragement — small adjustments, big results. The atmosphere is always warm and relaxed (yes, there’s tea, coffee & biscuits) so even camera-shy clients feel comfortable. For business portraits I focus on producing a mix of looks: polished headshots for profiles and softer studio portraits that add personality to your website or marketing. Local, professional, purposeful Serving Radcliffe and Greater Manchester, I work with individuals and local businesses who want professional, on-brand imagery without the fuss. If you want a portrait that captures your confidence and character — not just a photo — I’d love to help you express who you are.
