An Essex portrait photographer creating stunning photography in your own home

My work as a portrait photographer in Essex is all about creating images of good times, and capturing the personalities of children and grown-ups alike. I want to photograph the real emotions which will be looked back on for years to come – I believe this approach creates far more powerful and rewarding pictures than formal posed photography. You'll see my experience in the images that I am able to create: every picture shows sincere emotion rather than false painted-on smiles, whilst still having the professional appearance that sets them apart from mere ‘snaps’.

The simple things in life are often the most rewarding, and key among these is the warmth, security and sense of belonging that you only get in the family home. Traditional studio photography doesn’t fit with this – unfamiliar surroundings, being told to stay still and say cheese, and the pressure of being in front of a camera can make the experience fraught rather than fun.

And that’s exactly why, as a portrait photographer in Essex and across the south east, I decided the best approach would be to bring the studio into your home. Unlike other photographers, who’ll expect you to “act natural” when the surroundings are anything but natural to you, I use my professional equipment to create real studio lighting in the comfort of your own home. This, coupled with an easygoing, friendly approach, will leave you feeling completely relaxed while I transform each moment into a fresh, contemporary piece of personal art.

This approach marks Pure Image Photography out from other portrait photographers in Essex, and has a whole host of benefits. Your children will be comfortable and confident throughout the session, as their favourite toys are within easy reach. Professional lighting equipment means that every picture looks just right. And you can even head outside to the garden or the local park, for some vibrant fresh-air lifestyle pictures! This is an experience focused on allowing you to enjoy yourself, to be with the people you love, and to make the most of every moment you spend together.

When I set up my portrait photography business, I wanted to make sure I was able to provide the personal touch. Each and every portrait shoot that I do is very important to me: I invest my time, experience and a lot of energy into ensuring that your photographs are the very best they can be, and this has helped me to gain many recommendations. My photography packages represent great value for money, so I can be your photographer for many years, capturing the unique moments of your children’s lives.

I never give my customers the hard sell, because I believe my pictures sell themselves.
