Chesham and nearby
One visit, about an hour, and rather less of it goes on shooting than people imagine. We work in short blocks with pauses, since a face held in position for long stretches stops resembling the person wearing it.
The full take is yours to look through afterwards and only what you pick gets finished. Editing goes no further than what would differ in a fortnight, a blemish or a wayward hair, and nothing structural about the face is touched. Files arrive in a screen size and a printing size.

What we offer
Portrait sittings across Chesham, Chartridge and Ley Hill, either near Lowndes Park or at Northwood.
One visit of about an hour, with only the frames you pick taken through to finishing.
Built for the size it will be used at, whether that is a wall print or a small round profile.
Why choose us
Every sitting begins with one safe, straightforward frame in the bag. Once that is secured there is room to try low key lighting or a tighter crop without any risk. Nervous sitters do better facing away from any mirror. Seeing yourself mid pose makes you self conscious, so the review happens after a run of frames rather than during it.
Prints, frames, canvases and hand-finished albums are all available, so your portraits need not stay on a screen. Actor and model portfolios include a spread of looks and expressions, from clean commercial frames to characterful ones.

Good to know
Reckon on about two hours in Chesham, with maybe half of that spent shooting. The remainder goes on talking, changing layers and shifting position once or twice around Lowndes Park. We fit the slot to the light rather than to convenience, so summer sittings sit late and winter ones nearer noon. Dress for movement and for wet ground.
Certainly. As well as your digital images, we provide fine prints, framed portraits, canvases and hand-finished albums, each produced to a high standard. There is real joy in a printed portrait on the wall or an album to hold, keeping the session alive long after the day. Getting to Chesham is straightforward for us: Chesham station is the terminus of the London Underground Metropolitan line and the furthest station from central London on the network.
Yes. We photograph portraits at every age, and families across Chesham trust us with their little ones. We stay patient and gentle with younger sitters, shaping the session around them. Whether it is one child, siblings together or a group, we keep things light so the results feel warm.
Because the sitting gets built around what the picture is meant to achieve, not around a house style. We work across Chesham and out to Chartridge, Ley Hill and Bovingdon, and you see the whole take and choose from it instead of being handed a curated few. When conditions rule the park out, the Northwood room is on that same Metropolitan line, with no change to make.
Yes, but lightly and naturally. We smooth away passing distractions such as a stray hair or a blemish, while keeping your skin, lines and character exactly as they are. The aim is always a flattering, true-to-life portrait that looks like you rather than a heavily edited image. This applies across Chesham and Ley Hill, Chartridge and Bovingdon.
Serving Chesham
Chesham is well within our travel area. It sits close to Amersham and Chorleywood, which we cover too. We cover Chesham and the wider Buckinghamshire area for portrait photography, on location or in the studio, with no local travel charge.
Chesham is a Chilterns town set in the Chess valley, with a long history as a market town. Chesham station is the terminus of the London Underground Metropolitan line and the furthest station from central London on the network. When a session suits an outdoor setting, Lowndes Park is a favourite near Chesham, close to St Mary's Church.
More in Chesham
The same studio, experience and personal care apply to every service we offer in Chesham. Explore the rest: We also cover portrait photography across Buckinghamshire, including Amersham, Chalfont St Peter, Denham, Gerrards Cross and Beaconsfield.
Anyone booking a portrait in Chesham tends to want one picture rather than a set, so the decision that carries the sitting is what goes behind you. The town offers two answers a short walk apart, and the two do opposite jobs. Lowndes Park is open ground, which lets us put real distance between you and everything else in shot, and it is distance that leaves a background as tone alone, not a set of shapes arguing with a face. Grass and trees also date a picture. Anyone seeing it later can name the season within a month or so, which suits a family record and works against an author photo meant to hold up for years. The stone of St Mary's, standing beside that same park, does the reverse. It is a broken mid tone that gives no season away and sits behind a head without pulling at it, although a wall means working close, so the background stays sharp and you carry the picture unaided. Clothing is where a Chilterns sky decides things. Under the flat white cloud this valley sits under so often, plain cotton goes papery and loses its folds, while knit, cord and anything with a surface to it keeps some modelling. Pick the second layer by weight rather than by colour. Should the weather turn, we take the sitting in our Northwood room instead, and that call is usually left until the evening before.

How it works
We travel to Chesham rather than asking you to travel to us. On-location coverage suits weddings, corporate events, team headshots and product shoots, and we bring whatever lighting the space needs. The Northwood studio is available too if you prefer it.
