How a Lumenamint portrait session works

Portrait sessions begin with a brief written questionnaire — your responses tell us about the intended use of the images, your preferred settings, and any constraints (young children, mobility, time). From those answers we propose two or three locations that offer clean northern light and visual interest without distraction. Sessions typically run between sixty and ninety minutes, giving enough time for the subject to settle and the results to improve markedly from frame one to frame fifty. We deliver between 20 and 40 edited selects, graded in our amber-gold editorial palette, as high-resolution files with personal-use print rights. Commercial-licence upgrades are available at booking.

Who books portrait sessions with us

We work with individuals and families across a range of purposes and settings.

Individual portraits

Headshots, personal branding images, and milestone photographs for professionals who want images that look current, considered, and distinctly themselves — not drawn from a stock template.

Family sessions

Unhurried outdoor or environmental sessions for families of any size. We schedule around the youngest members and move locations within a session if a particular spot is not working.

Professional & executive

Executive portraits for organisations needing consistent imagery across a team, or for individuals refreshing their professional presence. Corporate licensing included on request.

I had been putting off professional headshots for two years because every reference image I had seen looked rigid and unconvincing. The Lumenamint session was forty-five minutes in the Public Gardens, and the results looked like me rather than a version of me performing professionalism. I use the images on my firm's website and LinkedIn daily.
