Portrait Photography in Manchester
Images that represent you
I tailor every photoshoot bespoke to you, and your vision. From a full art shoot, to some simple portraits, I always style your images around your vibe.
My main aim is to do more than just snap a picture of you - I want to truly capture who you are at your core. I love to highlight your unique personality in every photo, whether it's by including your favorite things, colors, or creating a lighting style that matches you perfectly, I want you to come away feeling on cloud nine!
Plus you’ll never be left wondering what the hell to do with your hands, I always demonstrate poses so you aren’t left feeling awkward and uncomfortable. I am also very specific in my pose direction and I am always on hand with a pep talk to loosen you up!
Hi, I’m Isobel! I’m an inclusive and accessible photographer in the UK
“Isobel made me feel so at ease for my shoot, was genuinely delighted with the pictures I saw on the day, and seeing the work on here now I am so excited to see what magic is worked to finalise them!
I would definitely recommend as a photographer who was natural and friendly, both open to ideas and able to offer direction or suggestions as required. I had a fantastic time throughout“
— Kee La Basa
“I would 100% recommend Isobel, she was so wonderful and calming from my initial enquiry and all the way through the shoot and talked me through the whole process in a way that made sense and that I could prepare for.
I felt so reassured and looked after and she answered my questions in so much detail.
You can really tell she’s super passionate about what she does and it makes the whole experience so lovely, I’m so glad I chose to go to Isobel!”
— Ms Lavender Menace
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Isobel on a recent portrait shoot and it was such a wonderful experience. Isobel is so kind and warming and would put the most nervous person at ease. We really had a lot of fun during the shoot as she's just a dream photographer. Full of enthusiasm and a great hype person!
She honestly made me feel amazing. I loved that fact she was able to demonstrate the poses as well as explain clearly. So I knew exactly what to do and didn't feel awkward. She has a great eye for capturing the cutest angles. While celebrating the natural authenticity of you. I absolutely love all my pictures.”

I had a mini-shoot with Isobel as part of a fundraiser, and even though it was just a short session, I felt listened too and supported during my poses! My images came out absolutely stunning and I'm so pleased with the service I received. Isobel is a wildly creative photographer and I would encourage anyone to work with them!
— Jennifer Ferentiuk
“This was a great experience, with great people, in a stunning studio and it wasn't too far from me which was a bonus. I loved how accessible it all was and it's always a good day when you get to have a little rest in this middle cause it was very much needed! I’m so happy with how they turned out. Please go check out Isobel's work and page and if you're looking for a photographer, I would thoroughly recommend them!”
— Phil Ayana
For the ultimate bespoke portrait experience, book me on commission:
-
Price based on a half day shoot with full pre-production and at least one digital image. Check out my full commission pricing brochure here!
-
All commission shoots are booked for 4 hours of shoot time, but that doesn’t mean you need to use it! This is your shoot, and the time is yours to use however you like. If you use less than two hours of the allotted time, I’ll throw in some extra edits!
-
I absolutely love designing photoshoots bespoke to you and your ideas. I’ll put together not just mood boards, but concept sketches and lighting tests so you’ll know exactly what to expect on the day. But I always leave time and room for a little experimentation and play!
-
Always wanted to see yourself as a fairy? A mermaid? Tiefling? Anything that can’t be done in the photograph is either edited in or hand painted by me. I pride myself on gelling my digital art and my photography so if you can dream it, I can create it!
-
A shoot like this is a big investment so I want to make it as accessible as possible. Spread your payment over up to 6 months with zero interest and no scary credit agreements. You’ll get automated reminders for each instalment so you don’t have to fill your calander with reminders. Let me know what I can do to help your shoot become a reality!
Are you ready to become your own piece of art, just as you are?

My studio is based in Reddish, Stockport, just outside of Manchester. However I do travel to shoots all over, just note that travel fees are added for trips outside Greater Manchester.

I do everything in my power to make my photoshoots accessible to all. If you have any access needs just let me know, and I’ll work with you to come up with how I can best support you on your shoot. For more information please check out my full accessibility guide.

Of course! Whether we’re in the studio, or on location, you are more than welcome to bring someone with you, and have them there for the duration of your shoot. Your comfort is the most important thing!

Editing takes roughly 3-4 weeks from making your image selections. Your images are being crafted into works of art so please note that it sometimes can take longer for more complicated projects!
