C F Photography is a dedicated portrait studio based in Coatbridge, led by Catherine Frances — a fully qualified portrait and maternity specialist with membership of the Guild of Photographers. With five years’ experience capturing people at every stage of life, Catherine’s work focuses on creating calm, authentic images that reflect each client’s personality and confidence. Why choose C F Photography? The studio combines technical expertise with a warm, relaxed approach. Sessions are designed to put you at ease — whether you’re after a professional headshot for LinkedIn, a personal portrait, or a maternity shoot that celebrates this special time. Catherine is insured and works from a PVG-checked studio, bringing a professional, trustworthy presence to every appointment. What makes the approach special is the emphasis on natural expression and careful posing. Catherine balances thoughtful direction with a gentle, conversational style so that even camera-shy clients can relax and look like themselves. The studio uses a range of backdrops, props and controlled lighting to craft clean, timeless portraits and contemporary headshots tailored to your needs. How we work: each session begins with a short consultation to understand your goals — whether you want a crisp business portrait, a relaxed personal image, or comfortable maternity photographs. Catherine guides clients through simple poses and expressions, adjusting lighting and background to flatter features and create a cohesive final set. For newborn and baby sessions, the emphasis is baby-led and relaxed; safety, comfort and soothing pacing are always prioritised. Beyond studio portraits, C F Photography also offers sitter, toddler, family and pet portraits — all captured with the same attentive, patient style. While portraiture is the core specialism, these additional sessions allow clients to preserve family moments in a comfortable studio environment. Catherine’s mission is to produce portraits you’ll treasure: straightforward, well-crafted images that tell a story and serve practical needs — from professional headshots to keepsake maternity portraits. If you’re looking for a portrait studio in Coatbridge that pairs professional standards with a relaxed, personal experience, C F Photography delivers approachable expertise and beautifully rendered images.
