Portrait Sessions Across Hampshire
Hampshire offers extraordinary variety for portrait photography. The New Forest — 219 square miles of ancient woodland, open heathland, and roaming ponies — creates natural portraits with exceptional depth and atmosphere. Mottisfont's walled gardens and sweeping riverside lawns give classic English-country elegance. Winchester Cathedral Close brings medieval grandeur to the heart of Hampshire's county town. Beaulieu estate, Exbury Gardens, and Houghton Lodge complete a portfolio of settings available to you.
I cover all of Hampshire — Southampton, Winchester, Portsmouth, Basingstoke, Andover, Romsey, Fareham, Eastleigh, Alton, and every corner of the New Forest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover all of Hampshire?+
Yes — I cover Southampton, Winchester, Portsmouth, Basingstoke, Andover, Romsey, Fareham, Eastleigh, Alton, and all of Hampshire including the New Forest and Isle of Wight by arrangement.
When is the best time for New Forest portrait photography?+
Spring and autumn are most magical — bluebells carpet the forest floor in late April, while October brings golden light and the annual deer rut at Bolderwood. Summer evening sessions capture the ponies beautifully at golden hour.
Can I choose more than one location?+
Yes — the Full and Extended packages include two or more locations so we can include New Forest and Winchester Cathedral, or Mottisfont and Beaulieu, in a single session.
Are families welcome?+
Absolutely. All portrait packages welcome individuals, couples, and families of any size.
