Expert portrait photography from Jarvie and Jones in Kilmarnock. In our welcoming portrait studio we create relaxed, confident headshots and personal portraits that tell your story.
Jarvie and Jones are Kilmarnock-based portrait specialists who place people at the heart of everything they create. Our focus is simple: craft strong, honest portraits that reflect who you really are. Whether you want a striking personal portrait, a confident headshot for work, or a relaxed studio session to mark a life moment, we approach each shoot with the same care and attention. What sets our portrait work apart is a human-first approach. We aim to make the studio feel like a conversation rather than a photoshoot — warm, calm and collaborative. That relaxed atmosphere helps people settle, allowing genuine expressions to emerge. Our style leans towards natural, characterful images that emphasise connection and personality rather than stiff, overly posed shots. The result is portraits that feel authentic and useful across personal and professional use. How we work: every session begins with a friendly pre-shoot conversation to understand your needs, comfort level and the look you want to achieve. In the studio we guide you through simple, flattering poses and subtle direction so you can be yourself in front of the camera. We pay attention to lighting, composition and small details — hair, posture, expression — to create portraits that photograph well and stand up to repeated use, from prints to online profiles. While portraiture is our primary focus, we also provide business portraits and professional headshots for clients in Kilmarnock and beyond. If you need a LinkedIn photo or a headshot that communicates confidence and approachability, we can tailor a short studio session to capture that look without losing the warmth and authenticity central to our portrait work. Jarvie and Jones are driven by a genuine love of photographing people — capturing candid moments, subtle emotions and the little things that make each subject unique. Based in Kilmarnock, we welcome individuals and professionals who want portraits with personality, care and craft. If you value natural images, a relaxed studio experience and a photographer who listens, our portrait studio is built around you.
