Yorkshire Portrait Photographer | Hull Portrait Photography | Award Winning Photographers

Since the mid-19th century, portrait photography has taken place in studios around the world. The home of our portrait studio is in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire. Here we have produced multi-award-winning images and delighted our clients with photography of their children, families, pets, and businesses. Providing a service to our clients from the East Yorkshire and Hull region and further afield, we pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness. At Ray and Julie Photography we are great believers that the two go hand in hand, but that is enough about us; let’s look at what we can do for you!

Portrait Photography

Studio photography includes portraiture of people of all ages; maternity, newborn, children, birthdays, family, engagement portraits and not forgetting pets. For families with older children, we have teenage photography sessions to boost confidence and modelling sessions for portfolios.

If you are looking for product or headshot photography we are experienced in commercial photography, too. We are always happy to share our work with you before you commit; we advise you to always ask to see work when choosing any photographer.

Camera Anxiety

Many of our clients first arrive a little apprehensive at the thought of being photographed and that is where our extensive experience allows us to put you at ease and more importantly help you to enjoy the experience, don’t just take our word for it read our reviews! Photography should be fun. Your time with us should not be a means to an end but an event. The best smiles come from natural laughter and we do our very best to help you feel at ease and have fun. Before long, you will be relaxed and confident and your images will reflect the results of an enjoyable experience in the studio. We’ll feel like we’ve made new friends when you leave, along with our many other clients from across Yorkshire and the UK.

In the Studio

On the day of your photo-shoot, you will arrive at our modern, centrally located, Georgian Beverley town center studio where we will welcome you. You will be shown to one of two fully equipped modern, illuminated studio spaces and your photography session will be explained once again. Then the fun begins and through laughter and naturally induced smiles, moments are captured.

Every portrait session concludes with an invitation to return to the studio for an exclusive personal viewing of your images. When you return, you will experience a cinema-style exhibition of your portraits, displayed on a 65” HD cinema-style wall screen. As you sit back and relax, we will present a slideshow of images set to music in comfortable surroundings.

The Types of Photography Sessions Explained.

A variety of emotions can be encapsulated in timeless memories. A modelling portfolio may require a serious expression whereas a smash & splash session is all about laughter. A newborn or maternity shoot presents the beautiful serenity of a new life.

Whilst commercial photography displays professionalism on the page but what do these terms mean? Well, some are self-explanatory, maternity, newborn. Some you may never have heard of – ‘Cake Smash and Splash’ photography sessions usually centre around a baby’s first birthday. Your child is presented with a birthday cake and they are free to do as they please with it whilst we capture the fun on camera. Afterwards, as you can imagine, there is always a need for the clean-up and that is where the ‘splash’ part comes in. So much fun!

Birthday - Infant

In all types of portrait photography, we have tips and tricks to get young children to interact and as for the pets, we are pretty good at getting their attention too. We often use toys, props and backgrounds. We will discuss with you any clothing ideas or colour schemes prior to your studio session. You may want a particular item from home to feature in the session, no problem.
