I don't even know where to start with grit and lace photography ,I have never been made to feel so important to somebody and she really took into consideration exactly what look I was going for , Portia got everything down to the last tiny detail even such things as playing some of my favourite1950s music while we took the shots , she even brought along props she thought would suit !
I felt so comfortable and although I was talking to a friend while being photographed with Portia and for the standard of the photos and the amount I was given the price is fantastic !
I plan to use my gorgeous pictures to compete for miss vintage UK and to promote my YouTube channel on how-to and vintage style and I couldn't be happier !
Thank you so much Portia I could continue for days with how happy I am with the service you have provided and I would 100% shoot with you again

I would just love to thank Grit and Lace for what I can only describe as a life changing experience.
I've never felt so beautiful, sexy and confident in all of my life!
I would recommend that any woman who struggles accepting and loving her body should take part in a boudoir shoot.
It will change how you see yourself forever!

Grit and lace are amazing, first used them for some headshots and they made me feel so at home and relaxed! Then booked a couples shoot we are so excited for our shoot! I also booked a boudoir shoot to celebrate loosing weight, cannot wait to do it later on in the year and feel feminine and amazing! Portia is so lovely and the photo's are always great! I 100% recommend why go anywhere else! More...

Working with the Grit and Lace company was absolutely wonderful! I have given 5 stars because during my photoshoot I was made to feel comfortable and confident about myself which is what I was most worried about beforehand! I just want to thank the photographer ( Portia ) for showing me that there is no need to feel self conscious, or have low body confidence because no matter what size or shape, you are beautiful! Also because I was cheerfully greeted, offered a lovely drink before the shoot & there was music in the background throughout the shoot to calm my nerves and set the mood! I would 100% recommend Grit and Lace Photography Company to everybody looking to expand there portfolio or just to do a fantastic photoshoot! They are fun, friendly and an absolute pleasure to work with! Thank you so much Grit and Lace! More...
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Getting to know your subject! Which aspect of their personality they want you to capture most, their favourite parts of themselves, a little about their story. I love to get to know the people in the pictures over a good cuppa before we start a shoot!
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Why now? What has driven you to capture the person you are today in this particular way?
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I am a people person! Photography isn’t just about the art, it’s about capturing the essence of a human being, how can you do that if you haven’t got to know them?
Boudoir Photography
Boudoir photos can be taken in lingerie, lace bodysuits, t shirts, jeans and a bra - you name it!
These empowering photo shoots with our female photographer, capture your playful side and help you release the smokin’ hottie within. ;-)

With multiple locations included as standard, you can trust that we will capture your love, affection and playfulness just the way it is.
Whether you want a lifestyle shoot artfully capturing your everyday at home, or sparky pictures by a graffiti strewn wall, we've got you covered!
Wedding Photography
We love love. We thrive on people's love stories. We work in photojournalistic and creative styles to capture both those little candid moments on the day as well as creating art shots of the new Mr & Mrs that will be worthy of a canvas on the wall.
Actors head shots
To book or not to book? That is the question.
Book. (That's the answer.)
Trash the Dress Photography
