Portrait Photography for Business Owners, Creatives, Individuals & Families

My style of photography is rooted in a documentary-led approach to capturing authentic expression.

I’ve made portraits for a range of brilliant folks. From those looking for an intentional way to celebrate an untraditional milestone, to authors preparing for a book launch, and families reconnecting with creative intention, each session is unique and powerful.

I’m based in Somerset, and shoot all over the UK.

We can make magic in a beautiful outdoor location, in your home or a photography studio. Read about the pros and cons of these options in my journal.

My Portrait Sessions are ideal for:

Individuals celebrating a milestone like a birthday or a non-traditional achievement (I'm here for it all!)

Authors releasing an upcoming book

Creatives who’d like beautiful studio portraits

Musicians looking to create album art or visuals for marketing materials

Business owners who need a couple of excellent portraits for their website (also check out the Brand Story Experience if you need something more in depth)

Friends with a deep love and respect for one another

Families who want to cherish this moment in time together

I'm known for creating a safe, comfortable space for you to fully unmask and relax.

Being in front of my camera is not about performing, or posing - it's simply about me documenting you being completely and utterly yourself.

Whether these images are just for you, or for your business, it’s important they share the tone and values you hold, so we’ll work together closely to bring these to life.

Kind Words From Past Clients

A young woman with long black wavy hair, wearing a black pleated top and a necklace with a heart-shaped pendant, smiling outdoors on a sunny day with green and yellow blurred background.

“Celie was incredibly friendly and made the whole team feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

Even those who were a bit nervous ended up enjoying the process, thanks to her calm and encouraging approach.

The final photos turned out absolutely beautiful - crisp, professional, and exactly what we were hoping for. She truly knows how to bring out the best in people!”

— Asha Bojarska-Russell, Somerset LMC

A woman standing outdoors next to a stone wall, wearing a black top, light blue jeans, and a patterned shirt, with trees and greenery in the background.

“When I received the photos, I simply couldn't believe how pleased I was with them. I was like, "wow, is that actually me?!"

I had never had professional photos before so I felt all fidgety and awkward but Celie has a knack of making you feel at ease in front of the camera. So much so that I actually found myself enjoying it.

She's a fantastic photographer, a fantastic person, and the difference her photos have made to my online confidence is second to none.”

— Jess Sutton, Grounded Copy Co

“Having worked with Celie on two shoots I can confidently say that she is not only really warm and friendly but a professional and highly skilled creative

It can be quite an intimate experience having your photographs taken, and Celie has a wonderful way of putting you at ease and making the whole experience fun and enjoyable. I have worked with her for both professional and personal shoots and recommend her so so highly.”

— Charlotte Feldforth
