Featured In / Seen On
I find people extremely interesting and as a portrait photographer, I love capturing individuality and personalities, whether young or old. Everyone is uniquely beautiful and I strive to create gorgeous portraits that enable you to see the beauty that I see through my lens.
A portrait can be defined and captured in many ways. From an individual candid portrait, a profile headshot, a couples engagement shoot, a studio cake smasher, a playing toddler, or a grandparents evening walk in the park. Whatever the scene, it will be something you’ll treasure forever.
I’m a local portrait photographer in Hampshire and I primarily cover the South of England including Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey and Dorset. However, I enjoy traveling and I am willing to go further afield when required.
Please don’t worry if you’re a little camera shy, I make every portrait session as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. I will guide you through the entire experience and can advise you on the most flattering angles and light.
Alongside my ‘natural style’ portrait shoots, I also offer special creative portrait sessions for those looking for something more artistic or theatrical. I can also shoot your beloved pet portraits too.
Please scroll down to view some example ‘snippets’ of my work from my portrait portfolio, where you’ll see my individual photographic style. For optimum viewing I recommend using a large screen over a wifi connection. Images have been compressed.
If you like the work shown in my portrait portfolio and are interested in hiring me as your professional portrait photographer, then please get in-touch via my online enquiry form to check my availability and receive a copy of my current prices.
I can tailor your portrait session to capture any particular style that you wish and I highly recommend doing some research (Instagram or Pinterest are useful places) and collating a mood-board for discussion. If you’re unsure of what you would like, I am more than happy to suggest some ideas.
My portrait sessions can take place at your home, office, studio or another suitable location. My mini portrait shoots are intended for those on a budget or who only need a limited number of photographs. Perhaps to simply refresh their social media profiles and these photoshoots last up to one hour.
Whereas my standard portrait package includes a longer photographic session (up to 3 hours) with a minimum of 40 images supplied. These are great for models putting together a portfolio (allowing for wardrobe changes, etc), or companies that need multiple team portraits/headshots and alike.
A small deposit is required to hold your booking, which once received, will be confirmed via email.
All portrait sessions include the photoshoot, the post-production work and the supply of digital images in both high-resolution and web-ready formats. These are typically supplied to you within 10 working days from the shoot. Terms and conditions apply.
Simply complete the form; providing as much detail as possible. I will then email over my latest price list, including any special offers that I may be running at the time. There’s no hard sell and no obligation.
I aim to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours and lookforward to hearing from you.

Emma was so lovely and professional making my daughter feel totally at ease, she thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The photos Emma produced were beautifully stunning and were a real mix of dance and natural poses in a variety of locations. We were so happy with the end results and loved every single photo. We would absolutely recommend Emma, she was amazing in every way. ”

Excellent (5/5) Google Reviews“ My daughter had a dance portrait photoshoot with Emma and the results were amazing. Beautiful photos that really captured my daughter in such a natural way. My daughter is not keen on having her picture taken, but Emma put her at ease and talked through the shoots and poses... Emma even encouraged me to have a photo with Katie and the picture is something I really do treasure. I cannot recommend Emma enough, her pictures are beautiful, the setting she picks are perfect and the experience is really memorable. Thank you ”

Excellent (5/5) Google Reviews“ Our daughter is a dancer and is always having her photo taken at events or competitions so we wanted to get some portraits of our son to have both children’s portrait’s on the wall. Emma was recommended to us and we really loved her natural approach to her images, so we got in contact and booked my son in for an outdoor shoot. During the photoshoot Emma made my son feel at ease and got to know his personality, which is really reflected in our final gallery. She made him laugh and was led by him rather then forcing him into poses. They show him playing, enjoying the outdoors and really tell a story. He came home with a smile on his face having enjoyed the whole experience. Now we have portraits of both of our children doing what they love, displayed on our walls on beautiful canvases. We can’t thank Emma enough and highly recommend her services. ”

Within these photographic portraits, I love to create a kind of theatrical piece of artwork, something that is akin to a painting on canvas, or digitally stylised to suit a specific theme or story.
I select carefully thought out locations, or studio backdrops, along with a few choice props to obtain as much detail and expression in the camera. Then, using industry leading Adobe™ software along with my specifically chosen Lightroom and Photoshop techniques, I enhance or add features and colours.
Creative portraits are great for anyone looking for that special, themed, piece of artwork to have pride of place on their wall. Something for you to appreciate and enjoy for years to come.
Let’s face it; our pets are part of the family and for some, they are even our best friends. They leave a priceless stamp on our hearts and give us the love and connection that is an invaluable part of a happy life.
Working with animals throughout my life and my love for them, typically enables me to bond with your pets quickly on a photoshoot. When your pets are relaxed and happy, amazing pictures can be taken.
As a Pet Portrait Photographer, I will endeavor to capture your pets wonderful personality, so that you will always be able to look upon the final images with fondness and proudly remember them even long after they have passed.
Excellent (5/5) Google Reviews“ Emma was a pleasure to meet and work with. Emma took some beautiful pet portraits for us; these captivated our cats beautifully; especially as one is very timid and camera shy. Absolutely amazing photos of the highest quality. I would highly recommend Emma if you are looking for a professional photographer. ”

Excellent (5/5) Google Reviews“ Emma is a terrific and talented photographer, who was a pleasure to work with. We hired her as a commercial photographer to complete several photoshoots for our company (a digital pet portraits brand). She is highly professional, assured and creative individual that’s very efficient at her vocation. She is friendly, calming and we all found her very approachable during our various shoots. The quality of her images is outstanding and we were delighted with the entire outcome. Working with animals is always tricky, but Emma made light work of this and they all stayed relaxed and calm throughout. We can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much. ”
