Hi I'm Siorna

Your professional portrait photographer in London.

Not everyone likes having their photograph taken and this definitely includes me! I’m here to help you look your best when you need professional photographs from a London portrait photographer. I’ve trained for years in lighting and posing because this makes a real difference in an authentic photograph and it’s the part I love most.

My studio photography experience is designed to help you feel comfortable and relaxed because I truly know what it’s like to avoid the camera.
