I specialise in portrait photography from my home-based studio in West Ealing, bringing a calm, instinctive approach to both family and business portraits. My priority is always the same: to create an atmosphere where natural characteristics shine through so that your images feel genuine, confident and full of life. Why choose me? I am an instinctive photographer with tonnes of experience of putting people at ease. Whether you’re after a professional headshot for LinkedIn, branding images for your business, or a relaxed family portrait session, I focus on capturing warmth, expression and character rather than stiff poses. Clients often say my sessions are relaxing and even fun — and that comfort shows in the pictures. What makes my approach special is the combination of empathy and direction. I’ll take time to understand what you want from the shoot and how you would like to be seen. I work conversationally during sessions, giving clear, friendly direction while also leaving room for spontaneous moments. The result is a gallery of images that include confident, professional portraits alongside more candid, emotive frames that tell a story. How I work with you: most portrait sessions take place in my Ealing studio, a welcoming space designed for small groups and individuals, but I also shoot on location when an environmental style suits your brand or family dynamic. Before the session I’ll talk through styling, what to bring and how to prepare so you feel ready. During the shoot I create a relaxed atmosphere — chatting, laughing and guiding — so even the most camera-shy clients enjoy the experience. After the shoot I present a carefully edited selection in a password-protected gallery so you can choose the images that best represent you or your family. Although portraiture is my core expertise, I also work on related business photography such as corporate headshots and branding images for small businesses and teams. My clients range from solo professionals to larger organisations across West London and beyond, and I pride myself on delivering images you’ll be excited to share. If you want professional portraits that capture personality and presence — whether for family keepsakes or business profiles — I’d love to talk about how we can create images that feel true to you. Based in West Ealing, I’m ready to help you look and feel your best in front of the camera.
