Portrait Photography in Suffolk
Professional Portraits Ipswich
Professional portrait photography that captures your personality, story, and unique character. Whether you're looking for personal portraits, family photography, creative portraits, or professional imagery beyond standard headshots, I create authentic images that reflect who you are.
Based near Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds, I work throughout Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, and East Anglia, bringing over a decade of photographic experience and a documentary-style approach to every portrait session.
“Photographing people is my thing, so you know you won't have to worry about being in front of the camera.”
What Makes a Portrait Different?
While headshots are typically formal and face-focused for professional use, portrait photography offers much more creative freedom and storytelling potential.
Portrait sessions can be:
Formal or relaxed studio portraits
Environmental portraits in locations meaningful to you
High-key with bright, clean backgrounds
Creative and artistic with dramatic lighting
Lifestyle portraits capturing you in your element
Family or personal milestone photography
Unlike business headshots, which are primarily designed for LinkedIn and corporate use, portraits are about capturing your personality, your story, or celebrating an important moment in your life.
Who Needs Professional Portraits?
Individuals and Families
Capture important life moments, family milestones, or create beautiful images to treasure and display in your home.
Creatives and Artists

Personal Projects

Are you looking to upgrade from a portrait to create a collection of imagery to support your personal brand?
A branding shoot may be a better option for you. It's everything you get in a portrait session plus extra time to capture imagery, so you have content that stands out and creates connections with your online and offline media.
