Portrait photography with real character

Lucy Mason's work as a portrait photographer serving the Sussex, Kent, Surrey and Hampshire areas allows individuals, couples and families to enjoy professional photography without the pressures of a cliched portrait shoot. Lucy's approach is fresh and relaxed, with the focus firmly on allowing you to express yourself in comfort and confidence. The experience is designed around your lifestyle and your ideas: you will enjoy a chance to simply be yourself, while Lucy's natural creativity brings fun and energy to the proceedings.

A key aspect of Lucy's approach to portrait photography – whether in Kent, Surrey, Sussex or elsewhere in south-east England – is in her ability to strike up a rapport with even the shyest subject. You may never have had a professional portrait taken in your life, but Lucy's friendly approach will quickly put you at your ease. Her versatile style means that she can create elegant traditional portraits as well as stylish contemporary images – it's all down to your tastes. Changes of clothing, hair, make-up and lighting allow for a wide range of different looks, further enhancing the experience.

Your portrait session can take place anywhere you like. If you'd prefer an indoor shoot, this can be arranged either in the familiar comfort of your own home or in Lucy's studio, where innovative lighting and changes of clothing can creative a variety of looks against a simple and unobtrusive backdrop. If, on the other hand, you would prefer an outdoor setting, you can select a location that means something special to you. A family day out at a local park, for example, opens up a world of opportunities for laughter, fun and all kinds of exciting creative images. A much-loved location also adds emotional depth to the images Lucy creates, ensuring that the shoot will mean so much more to you. [take a look at the galleries]

After the session is over, the final images will be presented to you, giving you an opportunity to re-live the fun of the shoot – and letting you choose just how to present your favourite pictures.

Affordable and enjoyable, lifestyle portrait photography shoots with Lucy Mason are the perfect way to spend time with your loved ones as well as receiving beautiful images of the experience. These are images you won't want to hide away in an album – you will want to display them in your home, and to this end Lucy can transform them into a range of fabulous products including framed prints and stylish canvases.
