Portrait Photography
Portraits in Gloucestershire's Most Beautiful Settings
Gloucestershire is one of England's most exceptional counties for portrait photography. The Cotswold AONB offers both intimate village settings and wide, light-washed landscapes. The National Arboretum at Westonbirt transforms with every season. Sudeley Castle provides regal castle-garden drama, Painswick churchyard gives remarkable mediaeval atmosphere, and Chipping Campden High Street offers the finest Cotswold honey-stone backdrop on any dry day.
I cover all of Gloucestershire from Cheltenham and Cirencester to the Forest of Dean, offering portrait sessions for individuals, couples, and families at every stage of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?+
Yes — I work across the entire county including Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester, Tewkesbury, the Forest of Dean, and all Cotswold towns and villages.
What is the best time of year for Gloucestershire portrait photography?+
All year round is possible in Gloucestershire. Autumn at Westonbirt is extraordinary; spring brings blossoms to the castle gardens; summer gives golden evenings; winter at Painswick or Chipping Campden is beautifully dramatic.
How many people can join a session?+
Individual sessions are calm one-to-ones; Full and Extended sessions regularly include couples, friends, and family groups of any size. We adjust timing accordingly.
Can we visit multiple Gloucestershire locations in one session?+
Yes — the Full and Extended packages are specifically designed for two or more locations. Westonbirt and Sudeley, or Painswick and Chipping Campden, make excellent combinations.
