About Us

Welcome to The Portrait Kitchen. We are Jon and Anjee, husband and wife for over 20 years, based in the Midlands, UK.

Whilst Jon has used numerous studios over the years for his portraiture we decided to build our own at our home. We wanted to provide a space where people could come and have their hats photographed professionally and at a price that is affordable. Whist we do provide portraiture, our passion is hat photography.

“We have a big kitchen, could we not build a studio in that?” said Anjee. So we did.

This allowed us to create a very homely and welcoming space, easy to relax in with coffee and cake always available. We want you to feel like you are visiting the home of a friend. We also have external spaces in our garden where we can create larger studio spaces.

Whilst Jon manages the photography side Anjee looks after the ‘front of house’ ensuring that clients, models and sitters feel at ease in a secure and private space. Anjee also focuses on what the milliner wants to achieve from their shoot as well as assisting with styling. In short, Anjee makes sure everything gets organised, done and delivered.
