Hello, I’m Karen.
I’m a headshot and creative portrait photographer based in lovely Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. I adore creating images, I believe there is beauty in those little moments within the light. I’ve always been fascinating by faces and expressions – photography is a beautiful kind of convergence.
My style is fun and relaxed, I’m a very thoughtful, friendly and conversational photographer. I specialise in B&W images, as I love unique lighting techniques and shadows, believing that they portray a kind of fantasy that is enthralling. My colour photography varies from modern to more artistic fare that is influenced by old film stocks, which is quite vibrant with a touch of grain.
I shoot headshots, creative portraits and on-location sessions. Including families, children, couples, dogs, business, editorial, engagement, maternity and dating profile photos. Sessions are fun and relaxed and always begins with a nice cup of tea and chat – then we’ll be clicking away creating images together. I shoot in a studio located in central Leamington and on-location throughout the UK.
I’m an advocate of printing images and offer a range of finishes, from subtle to quite dynamic, including Fuji Lustre, Crystal and Flex (ultra high gloss). I offer products such as digital images, prints, wall décor and retouching.
I accept requests for commission photography so if you are looking for something specific, get in touch or phone 07414 894855.
Headshots
Headshots are ideal for LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, CV’s, press releases and websites. A typical session is shot in studio on a white backdrop with a multi-light setup and renders a very modern and bright image. Or take it a step further with advanced lighting techniques, such as noir photography (which is fabulous for B&W images) that offers a bit more dimension to your image. Shot on a grey or black backdrop, this is a more creative spin on the headshot.
Creative Portraits
In the studio things are relaxed, we’ll enjoy tea, a chat and experimentation. I’ll employ several lighting techniques to create variety in the shots. Sessions may be customised with digital images, prints etc, also, make-up artistry, hair styling, and props (additional fees apply). This is ideal for individuals, couples, pets, children (ages 9 & up), commissions and maternity.
On – Location Session
The sky’s the limit when you go on-location, we can go adventurous or keep it simple. Let’s have some fun together! Maybe a walk through the park, hang out in your back garden or perhaps visit your favourite spot. This is ideal for individuals, families, child portraits, couples shoots, maternity photography, pet portraits and dating profile photos.
