Images by Joanne

Images by Joanne is a portrait specialist based in Airdrie, focused on creating studio portraits that reveal personality, poise and natural expression. As a dedicated portrait photographer, Joanne’s primary commitment is to craft images that feel authentic and flattering — whether you’re after a polished professional headshot, a relaxed personal portrait, or a timeless family photograph. Why choose Images by Joanne? The studio approach centres on creating a calm, confident atmosphere where clients can relax and be themselves. Joanne combines flattering studio lighting, thoughtful posing and a conversational style to coax real moments and honest expressions from every session. Her aim is not just to take pictures, but to capture the character and story behind each face, producing portraits you’ll recognise as truly yours. What makes Joanne’s approach special is her emphasis on personality-driven photography. She spends time before the session understanding what you want to communicate — whether that’s a friendly, approachable LinkedIn portrait, a refined personal portrait, or a warm family image. The result is a collection of portraits with consistent quality: clear, well-lit, and emotionally resonant. How she works: each studio session begins with a short consultation to set expectations, refine styling and plan the session’s flow. In the studio Joanne guides posing with considerate direction, keeping the atmosphere light and encouraging spontaneity. She balances artistic intent with a practical, client-first process so that even camera-shy people feel comfortable. After the session, Joanne carefully reviews and selects the strongest frames and applies subtle finishing to present portraits that look natural and polished. While portrait photography is the primary focus, Images by Joanne also works with families and occasionally with maternity clients, bringing the same warmth and attention to detail to those sessions. Based in Airdrie, Joanne delivers portrait studio experiences tailored to individual needs — professional, personal, and photographed with care. If you want portraits that reflect who you are rather than a forced smile, Images by Joanne offers a thoughtful, experienced approach to capturing images you’ll love to share and keep.
