Can I separate headshots from editorial work?

Yes. Ask for a gallery per session type and the builder creates separate sections or pages, each with its own layout.

Can clients book a session online?

Your 'Book a session' button can open any booking tool you use. The builder doesn't take bookings or payments itself.

Will a dark design make my portraits look heavy on phones?

The phone layout is designed separately, and you can lighten the background or spacing for that width alone on the canvas.

Can I add before-and-after retouching examples?

You can place two images side by side with captions. An interactive slider isn't included.

Portrait photography portfolio builder

A portrait portfolio built around faces

Portrait work is judged in a few frames. Tell FNJ's builder whether you shoot editorial portraits, headshots or family sessions, show it a portfolio you admire, and it designs a site that leads with your strongest faces, explains your sessions and studio, and makes booking one click away.

Portraits with nowhere to hide

Studio sessions, Tuesday to Saturday

The same sample at phone width. The builder designs every page at desktop, tablet and phone widths.

The sample, section by section

What a portrait photographer website needs

The sections the builder can design for you, and the job each one does. The starter prompt asks for these; add or drop any of them in your own words.

01
Portrait hero
One strong face, cropped with intent.
02
Portfolio by session type
Editorial, headshots, personal: each with its own gallery.
03
What a session looks like
Duration, wardrobe, retouching and delivery.
04
Studio
Where you shoot, with a map link and how to get there.
05
Pricing
Session fees and what's included.
06
Book a session
A button to your booking tool.

Made for portrait photographers, not for everyone

01
Room for each face
Single portraits given space, in pairs and short sequences, rather than squeezed into uniform thumbnails.
02
Sessions explained
Headshots, editorial and personal sessions described with what to expect, so people arrive prepared.
03
Black and white or colour
Steer the palette to suit your grade, so the site never fights the skin tones in your work.

Starter prompt

A prompt written for portrait photographers

It opens in the builder ready to edit. Replace the words in brackets with your own details, change anything else you like, then add a reference.

Reference to add

A portrait photographer's site whose crop, tone and pacing you like; a monochrome reference gives a monochrome site.

The builder takes a reference's look (layout, type, palette, spacing), never its words or images.

Use this prompt

Build a portrait photography portfolio for [your name] in [city], who shoots [editorial portraits / headshots / personal portraits]. Lead with one striking portrait and my name, then galleries grouped by session type, a 'What to expect' section (length, wardrobe, retouching, delivery), a studio section, session pricing and a 'Book a session' section linking to my booking page. Moody, intimate and minimal: dark backgrounds, a fine serif and tight, deliberate image pairings.

How it works

01
Describe your portrait photographer site
Open the builder with the starter prompt, fill in your details and add a screenshot or link of a site you'd like yours to look like. A reference is required: it's what makes the design yours rather than a template.
02
Watch it design every page
The builder plans the pages, palette and type, then builds each page section by section on a canvas at desktop, tablet and phone widths while you watch.
03
Refine it, then take the code
Ask for changes in plain words or edit by hand, upload your own work, then download a Next.js project or static HTML, or push it to your GitHub, and host it where you like.

What it costs: From $25/month, or $29 once for 50 credits that never expire. No FNJ hosting fee: you host the exported site. See plans
