Paulina Bell of Mint and Chillies is a Dunfermline-based portrait specialist who turns everyday moments into memorable, meaningful images. Grounded in a lifestyle approach, her portrait work spans warm family sessions and purposeful business portraits and headshots for entrepreneurs, creatives and professionals. Her aim is simple: to tell your story honestly, without stiff poses or forced smiles. Why choose Paulina? Her photography is rooted in authenticity. Whether she’s photographing a toddler’s spontaneous grin in a local park or crafting a confident headshot that reads true to your brand, Paulina focuses on connection and natural expression. She brings a gentle, patient energy that relaxes families and helps even camera-shy clients feel at ease—so the photographs reflect who you really are, not a posed version of you. What makes her approach special is a blend of documentary instincts and a considered eye for detail. For family portraits she prefers lifestyle settings—at home or outdoors—where candid moments, small gestures and real laughter can happen. For business portraits and branding work, she listens to your creative goals and translates them into imagery that communicates your personality and professional identity, from approachable LinkedIn headshots to visuals that showcase your craft or studio process. How she works: every session begins with a conversation about what matters to you. Paulina values collaboration—she asks about your story, your brand tone, and the images you imagine, then guides the session with relaxed direction and an emphasis on natural light and composition. Clients describe the experience as friendly, professional and stress-free: an environment where families play, partners connect, and professionals present their most confident selves. Based in Dunfermline and inspired by simple, beautiful moments, Paulina approaches portrait photography as storytelling. If you want portraits that feel honest, timeless and distinctly yours—whether treasured family memories or a strong business portrait—Mint and Chillies offers a thoughtful, tailored experience that delivers images you’ll love to share and keep.
