Relaxed Natural Portrait Photography in Bournemouth
Relaxed portrait photography for active people and small business owners
For people who maybe don’t enjoy being photographed and want a calm, easy experience.
Many people feel a bit awkward in front of a camera; that’s completely normal.
I offer calm, relaxed portrait photography for people who want natural, honest photos without pressure or awkward posing. The aim is simple: to help you feel at ease and look like yourself.
Who this is for
This is ideal if you need a professional photo for:
A website or profile
A small business or personal brand
A trade or service
Therapy, coaching, or wellbeing work
In other words, if you want images that feel genuine and approachable, not overly styled or forced.
If you’ve ever thought “I hate having my photo taken”, this is probably for you.
What it’s like to work together
I keep things straightforward and low-key.
Short, relaxed sessions
Gentle direction if you want it
Time to settle in and warm up
Locations chosen together, based on what suits you
Most people tell me it feels more like a conversation than a photoshoot and that they leave feeling more comfortable than they expected.
