A portrait sitting with me is unhurried and quiet. I’m drawn to the honest expressions, the ones that arrive when the posing stops and you forget the camera is there.
I work in soft, low light, the kind that feels more like a painting than a photograph. Whether it’s a portrait for yourself or a gift for someone you love, the aim is the same: something with feeling, that lasts.

We talk about you, the feeling you’re after, and where the light will be kindest.

A relaxed session in studio or on location, with time to settle and be yourself.

A small, considered set of finished portraits, and prints chosen together for the wall.

The fine-art approach to portraits.
Fine-art photography is about making something to keep. I work slowly and in low, natural light, paying as much attention to mood and feeling as to likeness. The result sits closer to a painting than a snapshot, something quiet and a little timeless that you’ll want to live with for years. Every image is finished by hand, one frame at a time.

A £99 booking fee secures your date and comes off the collection you choose. I photograph throughout Hertfordshire and Essex with no travel charge, and travel further by arrangement. Weddings and larger commissions are quoted on their own, so tell me about yours and I’ll shape something to fit.
Fine-art prints & framing. Prints and framed pieces, along with albums if you’d like them, are chosen together in person at your private viewing after the shoot. Your photographs are made to live on a wall, not just a screen.
Frequently asked.
Studio or on location?
Either. I work wherever the light and the mood suit you best, from a quiet room at home to the woods at dusk.
How many photographs do I get?
That depends on the collection you choose. Each one includes a set of finished, high-resolution images and a credit toward prints.
