Dewberry Portraits

Tara Millar is the face and heart behind Dewberry Portraits — a portrait specialist based in Bangor who believes the best portraits are the ones that feel genuine. Her work centres on helping people (and the pets they love) be themselves in front of the camera, turning fleeting moments and real expressions into images that become treasured keepsakes. Why choose Dewberry Portraits? Tara’s approach is calm, considered and personal. She builds a relaxed atmosphere where camera-shy clients feel at ease and confident, using gentle direction, light conversation and a few well-chosen prompts to capture natural smiles and honest character. Whether you want a clean, professional headshot for LinkedIn and business profiles or a softer, lifestyle portrait for personal branding, Tara specialises in producing portraits with warmth, personality and professional polish. How Tara works with you: each session starts with a friendly conversation about your goals and preferences. Tara often collaborates with clients on mood boards and ideas — she has used bespoke Pinterest boards for bespoke shoots — so everyone knows what to expect and what to wear. Sessions can be in-studio for controlled, timeless results or on-location to reflect personal stories and lifestyle. The process is flexible: guidance before the shoot, gentle direction during the session, and careful editing afterwards to ensure every image represents you authentically. Dewberry Portraits is rooted in care and connection. Tara’s personal experience has shaped a compassionate, human approach to portraiture — from joyful family portraits to pet sessions that celebrate the bond between people and animals. She also offers complimentary compassion sessions for people facing terminal diagnoses, creating meaningful portraits that become part of a family’s legacy. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer in Bangor who combines technical skill with warmth and genuine listening, Dewberry Portraits offers a thoughtful, professional experience. Tara would be honoured to help you create portraits that look beautiful on a profile, hang proudly on your wall, and feel like you.
