Meet Us

Hi. We are Helen and Sean and welcome to Lumosia. No-one can ever pronounce the company name but we say it as Loo-Moss-ee-ahhh. Our daughter Niamh was the reason for the name. When we started the business she was a HUGE fan of Harry Potter and read over and over again. Any other fans out there will know that the spell for light is ‘Lumos’.  In photography understanding and being able to control light is the most important aspect of creating stunning images. Unfortunately the domain ‘lumos.com was already taken so we put an ‘ia’ on the end and Lumosia was born.

Before specialising in photographing in actor headshots I photographed exactly 384 weddings and Helen was a successful newborn photographer in London. I now am the main photographer and split my time between the 3 studios whilst Helen manages the operations side of the business.

Supporting us in the business is Georgina who is way more than our retoucher! She has a degree in Photography and is amazing at editing your images so it looks like you “On a Good Day” and is often the person answering emails and the live chat on our website. Fun fact, she was part of a cheerleading group and was always the one that got thrown in the air!
