Professional Photography Services in Birmingham

Most portrait sessions run between 60 and 90 minutes. This gives us plenty of time to warm up, settle into the session and explore different angles, moods and backdrops. If you’d like more variety, for example, for a modelling portfolio or extended headshot sessions, I also offer longer options. Just let me know your goals and I’ll help you choose.

Absolutely. Outfit changes are one of the best ways to add variety to your portraits. Many clients bring two to four different looks, ranging from casual to professional.

Before your session, we’ll talk through colours, styles and textures that photograph well so you feel confident in what you’re wearing. Bring anything that feels like “you” - clothing that fits well and makes you feel good always translates beautifully in photos.

Yes, and you don’t need any experience at all! Guiding people through posing and expression is a big part of what I do. I’ll show you simple movements and positions that feel natural and flattering, and we’ll work together to find what suits you best.

Most people tell me they feel awkward at first but quickly get comfortable once we get going. You’ll never be left guessing what to do. I’ve got you covered throughout the whole session.

Yes, but always in a natural way. Every session includes professional editing to correct light, colour and tone, and I provide gentle retouching to tidy up anything temporary, like breakouts or stray hairs. I never over-edit or change the way you naturally look. The aim is simply to refine the final images while keeping your features real and true to who you are.

I do. You can choose a studio session for a clean, curated look with full lighting control, or an outdoor session for something more relaxed and expressive. If you want a mix of both, that’s also possible; hybrid sessions are great for people who want maximum variety and storytelling in their portraits.

Outdoor sessions can take place anywhere across Birmingham and the West Midlands. I have a list of tried-and-tested locations depending on the style you're after, from modern architecture and colourful street areas to parks, hidden corners and scenic open spaces. If there’s somewhere personal to you, we can absolutely shoot there too. Feeling comfortable in your surroundings always helps bring out your natural expressions.

Every portrait package includes a pre-session chat, planning support, the photography session itself, professional editing and retouching, and a downloadable online gallery. You can view, download and share your photos easily from any device. If you need prints, extra images, or extended time, I can arrange that too. I like to keep things simple, clear and flexible so the whole experience feels stress-free.
