Portrait photographer near Monmouth, for the moments worth marking
When did you last have a photo of yourself you actually loved? The Cowshed is my countryside studio just outside Usk, about 20 to 25 minutes from Monmouth along the A40 through Raglan.
Every reason is a good reason
Milestone birthdays: something that lasts longer than the cake.
Couples: anniversaries, engagements, or simply “we’ve never had a proper photo together”.
Three generations: grandmother, mother and daughter in one frame.
Sisters and best friends: the people who have always been there.
A fresh start: after a big change, a hard year, or a reason to celebrate.
“But I hate having my photo taken”
Almost everyone says this. It’s usually because nobody has ever photographed you properly. I guide every pose and expression, so you never have to wonder what to do with your hands.
“I’ve never felt confident in front of a camera, and rarely like how I look in pictures, but Liz completely changed that for me.”

Make an occasion of it
The Celebration package, £995, is a 1.5–2 hour experience with a styling call. You get a 30″ × 20″ statement piece, two desk blocks or framed desk prints, and 15 digital files. Smaller sessions start at £95, and every package is listed on my prices page.
A gift for someone who says they don’t need anything
A portrait session is one of the most personal presents you can give. Vouchers start at £50, last 12 months and can be passed on to someone else. A PDF arrives by email within 24 hours, or you can choose a posted gift card. See gift vouchers.
Studio or somewhere that matters?
The studio gives a classic, timeless look with beautifully controlled light. Outside there are fields, trees and soft natural light. If a place near Monmouth means something to you, such as the Kymin or the banks of the Wye, I’ll give you a quote that includes travel.
Questions from Monmouth clients
Is your studio in Monmouth?
No. It’s at Llancayo Court, just outside Usk, NP15 1HY, with free parking on site.
Will I still look like me?
Yes. I use natural retouching. You’ll still look like you, just on a really good day.
Can I bring someone with me?
Of course. A friend, partner or family member is welcome for moral support, or to join you in some of the photos.
Can I see the studio first?
Yes. You’re welcome to visit beforehand, so the day itself feels familiar.
