Portrait photography in Surrey Hampshire & Sussex

Environmental lifestyle portraits

We are based on the Surrey/Hampshire border and are surrounded by wonderful and varied countryside.  We love nature and the changing light of the seasons and whenever possible we take your portraiture outdoors.  The photography is relaxed and real, the shoot is bespoke and no two shoots are the same as we are not working to formula once you escape the confines of a studio space.  Whether we are on the banks of a beautiful lake, in a sunny meadow, overlooking a stunning view, walking along a sandy beach, in a woodland glade the list goes on because the choices are endless. We are very experienced portrait photographers, our approach is creative, intuitive and fun and our clients love their beautiful collection of unique portraits to remind them of their special session.

We took the decision in the Autumn of 2015 to shoot less in the studio and tend to reserve this for small scale sessions - newborns etc. Most of our portraiture is now location-based and bespoke.

The studio photography is still available through our portrait days but in most cases, we now use your garden or beautiful countryside as a natural background for photographs.  Children love to play outside and this gives a relaxed and real feel to the portraits.  In the Summer months, we are spoilt for choice with good light and often use natural features to shoot through or from and this gives great interest to the shots.  In Winter we again use the natural light and often suggest fluffy hats, coloured scarves or cosy fleeces to give the photos a warm feeling.  A garden is a lucky extension to interior portraiture and allows you to have an extra dimension to your portrait session.

A portrait session takes around an hour and we never book in sessions back to back and so there is plenty of time for you to relax and have time to talk and really enjoy the whole experience.  Please visit our FAQ page for more information.
