Passionate about portrait photography

Portrait photography telling your story

My approach to portrait photography has changed dramatically since the time when photography was just a hobby for me; I never did it then! I first picked up a camera to photograph nature and landscapes, and I strove to exclude any sign of people from my pictures. Today, even my personal work such as Obsessions and Wildwood completely revolves around people. Such a change. I often wonder what a psychologist would make of it…

Whether it be documenting the joy of wedding, helping a business connect with its customers, photographing a family, or an art project, it is all about people, people, people!

So welcome to the part of my website that will tell you all about the different stories I can tell about you and your life.

Family Portrait Photography

Family portraits are one of the most common reasons for commissioning a photographer, and with today’s technology, we have the freedom to do so much more than before. Studio photography has been revolutionised and is no longer staid and stuffy but instead full of life, and laugher, and colour. Tell me more

However I do love to work in traditional styles though, and black and white images are hugely popular. Timeless, and fashionless, these portraits stand the test of time to become treasured items in your family home.

Location Portrait Photography

And location shoots can be one of the best ways of telling the story of your family life, from wonderful walks in the autumn forest to fun-filled days on the summer beach. It’s all about story telling with images.

Pregnancy and Maternity Portrait Photography

Pregnancy is such a special and important part of the story too, and thanks to Demi Moore’s icon photo shoot from many years ago, maternity photography has been revolutionised. On your own with your bump, with your partner, with your other children, the choice is yours, as is the style; clothed, semi-clothed, artistically naked; it’s your life, your story, your choice.

Newborns and Child Portrait Photography

And the same is true for your newborn photography session too. I love to photograph sleeping babies, in very simply poses, simply lying lightly wrapped in calico, beautifully lit. There’s nothing better. I do have a good selection of clothes, and props too, and am really happy for you to bring your own. Newborns and babies are so special, and it is great to include you in the pictures too, in whatever way is special for you. It’s your story. I’ve recently being working with breastfeeding mums as part of a campaign to make breastfeeding more acceptable in public spaces, and many of the mums complained that when they had had family photo shoots done, their photographer declined to include any breastfeeding portraits in the photography, which left these mums feeling disappointed. With me, it’s your choice. Your life, your story. Tell me more

Babies and children grow and change so quickly and I have many customers who come back time and time again as their children have grown over the years.

Couple and Engagement Portrait Photography

Your story as a couple too is important, and a photography session in the forest, on the beach, sharing special time is a beautiful gift, maybe to each other, or something you could give your son or daughter. This can be used to produce a Signing Book for a wedding too. Tell me more

Just You Boudoir Portrait Photography

There are so many reasons people have come to me for Just You boudoir photo shoots. One frequent reason is to create a very special and intimate gift for their lover. If you are buying a shoot for your lover, then I have a range of gift vouchers available, Others have just wanted to celebrate their own being, their own body. For some, it has been after a long period of battling with body image, whether a desire to lose weight or in one remarkable shoot, it was to celebrate winning a battle with anorexia.

Dating Site Portrait Photography

There are so many reasons to get some beautiful professional photographs of yourself.

Creating that great first impression is priceless. And so I present my dating site service. Whether you are using Guardian Soulmates, Match, Plenty of Fish, Tindr, OKCupid, PinkCupid, Girlfriends Meet or whichever site, you are investing time, emotion, money, effort and above all yourself.

So why not get some decent pictures, studio or location, and see the difference that makes.

Jerry provides a very professional service paying close attention to detail. He completely understands the importance of the moment and works hard to capture you looking at your best! He can be your best friend, laughing a joking to put your mind at ease, noticing when a shirt needs to be straightened or a shadow is lurking in the wrong place, but can quite as easily melt into the background and capture those precious non-posed photographs (that actually end up being your favourites!).

I knew that if I ever met my future husband, then Jerry would be the man to photograph our wedding. Well, 9 years down the line, Jerry did just that! Jerry was professional and lovely on the day. He put me and my hubby at ease. The guests loved him too! Most of the time, I even forgot he was even there as he was so busy capturing beautiful candid shots of our special day.

I would like to take a minute to give a review of our photo shoot with Jerry.  It was such a wonderful experience from beginning to end.  We did not feel self-conscious at all as he made us feel so relaxed and allowed us to just be ourselves.  Jerry was so good at being one of our group and taking the most beautiful snap shots of our afternoon and turning them into a wonderful memory.  I believe that he is something special as it is very hard to take so many photos and at the same time make one … Read more

Jerry has an easy and approachable manner which allows the subject to stay really calm and enjoy the photo experience no matter what pose they are placed in. His many years of experience is evident from the end product which he offers. Professional, friendly and cost effective, Jerry is certainly recommended

Jerry, a year ago today you shared our special day with us and looking through our album reminds us of how special our day was. The photos captured shows every glimpse of our happiness. Thank you x

I first met Jerry 11 years ago when he was photographing the children at our local playgroup. My son was an extremely shy and anxious 2yr old , to be honest, I didn’t even think that he would leave my side to even be photographed. From the minute we walked in the room, Jerry was full of smiles. The pictures from that day were superb and really captured his personality.

Can’t believe it’s been a week already since our fabulous wedding day! Thank you Jerry for your super calm but highly professional photography. You even managed to gently get us back on schedule after our late start. Thanks so much and can’t wait to see the photos. Gillie & Tom x

I felt very comfortable around you and was put at ease straight away. You directed extremely well and was always willing to take on my ideas on specific photos. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services to others.

The pictures were lovely of our wedding. You put me at ease on my wedding day when I was feeling so nervous. And you did everything I required and I would tell everyone to use you when they need a photographer!

When I first called Jerry, I could tell he had a great, fun, honest and professional attitude. And I’m not just saying this, it’s true. When Jerry arrived at our house he showed us his full photography range and explained each package. All this with honesty and a bit of humour too and not rushed or pressured. Jerry, I’m sure went above and beyond here when selling us his service. But he needn’t have done as he is so genuine. Our wedding day arrived and wow if Jerry was a conductor in a previous… Read more

Thank you, Jerry, for the beautiful photos of my family and a huge thank you for trawling back through your archives to find them for me . Will be in touch in the new year for another family shoot xxxxxx

I always recommend you when people ask about photographers, because you have such a fresh approach to portraiture, informed by your love of nature and your ability to think out of the box. You even managed to make a derelict house look desirable and interesting, and when working with people cyou capture the moment. You are great at conveying meaning through photos, because your photos are always that bit different and make us think.

Caring for our world

A love of nature is what made me pick up a camera in the first place way back in…. a long time ago! And that love of nature and wild places has informed my life and continues to do so today, and I recognise that we only have one planet. We need to care for our planet, and I strive to do so in all areas of my life, choosing a fuel efficient low emission car, minimising my journeys, reusing, reducing and recycling wherever I can. I have volunteered with many organisations over the years, the RSPB, Dorset Wildlife Trust, Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth and Jerry Fenner Photography is proud to be powered by Good Energy.
