Award-Winning Portrait Photography Across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire.
Natural Portrait Photography That Comes To You

At Ian Petrie's Photography, we bring the studio experience directly to you.
As a multi-award-winning photographer and winner of multiple East Midlands Enterprise Awards, we specialise in creating beautiful portraits in the comfort of your own home, garden, workplace, or chosen location.
Whether you're looking for maternity photographs, newborn portraits, toddler photography, family portraits, professional headshots, or corporate branding images, we create relaxed photography experiences that capture genuine personalities and real emotions.
