Whether it’s a magazine-style ‘celebrity’ photo shoot or a classic legacy portrait photo shoot for your home, your Portrait Photo Session is tailor-made according to your wishes.
Suitable for individuals; couples; family; children or friends.
This service is great for personal branding photo shoots, as well as ‘Mark the Moment’ photo shoots - turning a milestone age, perhaps, or some other major event in your life. Or perhaps you just want to capture you and your loved ones as they are now.
Taking place in my studio in Epsom, you would spend a few hours with me, complete with hair and make-up, where appropriate; a change of outfits and scenery. Choose your favourite images, which are edited and retouched before being printed and presented in one of a selection of beautiful framing or mounting options.
*If you would like to book a consultation with me to discuss your photography needs and the desired outcome, you can do so here or email me here
*After booking, you will receive a briefing form and a mood board so we can collaborate on the perfect mood and style of shoot for you.*I will send you wardrobe advice or put you in touch with my stylist.
*I will arrange hair and make-up for you if you wish.
*You will usually have hair and make-up in my studio why relaxing into the space
With your favourite music on (or none at all, if you prefer), I will walk you through various poses and expressions to get the perfect picture of you.
*We will change backdrops and outfits as we progress through the photo shoot but work together towards the desired outcome.
*The shoots tend to be a lot of fun and everyone is always surprised at how easily they settle into it despite their nerves.
*We will view your images straight after your shoot and make a final list.
*I will then edit and process your images for your final view, or if it’s personal branding, will send them to you via a We Transfer file.
‘Stepping into Charlie’s beautifully designed home studio felt like entering a magazine spread – warm, elegant, and personal. I never imagined I'd be excited about getting new headshots, but after nearly a decade, I needed a fresh look for my career shift. My last photo, taken before this new professional chapter, felt outdated, and a fresh image was vital for my corporate profile and social media presence.
As soon as I arrived, Charlie put me at ease. From her welcoming nature to the soft natural light flooding the room, the atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed photoshoot. The experience was far more than just standing in front of a camera – it felt like a journey of rediscovery. We talked through my ideas, playing with different looks and angles, and Charlie’s skilful eye made it easy to trust the process. Her technique for identifying my best angles was both fun and surprisingly insightful. I’ve never thought about “my best side,” but Charlie made me see it in a new light.
The make-up artist, a warm and talented professional, helped create the polished, yet natural, look I was hoping for. Together, we explored different outfits and styles: mixing jewellery and accessories to create a range of images that captured different facets of me: both personal and professional.
What I appreciated most was how Charlie truly understood my goals and captured more than just a headshot. She created a reflection of the transition I’m making professionally, capturing confidence and approachability in every shot. The post-production process was seamless, and I was thrilled with the final range of images: minimal touch-ups needed, because the essence of what she captured was already perfect.
If you need to update your corporate or social media photos, I can't recommend Charlie enough. She doesn’t just take photos; she tells your story. And in today’s professional world, that’s exactly what we need."
