Today was the final “cake smash” shoot from the watch me grow package, my son absolutely loved it! I’ve loved every single shoot we’ve had and every photo has been perfect. Sarah is amazing, so professional and nothing is a bother ❤️ We can’t wait to book another shoot when my son is walking! Thank you again Sarah x More...

Wonderful company, run but very helpful ladies. I was in the need to get a product photographed, I knew what I needed and I reached out to a number of local people. Everyone rebuffed me, and in some cases were very rude. Emma on the other hand was quick to say "come along". 10 minutes later we are all done and I'm walking out the door. Perfect setting and she really knows her stuff. Thank you. Leslie More...

We had such an amazing photoshoot with Sarah, even with a puppy, moody toddler and 5 year old she was able to capture amazing photos and took the time to make sure she was happy with what had been taken, never thought I'd ever get a photos of these 3 together but Sarah has made this possible. The photos are amazing quality but also affordable , Sarah was even kind enough to send a couple of free prints to us too. Can't rate this service highly enough. Thank you so much More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Being relaxed and watching people to obtain the most natural photo
What do you love most about your job?
I'm a very relaxed individual, I alway make people welcome and ask what it is that they want out of their photo shoot. I love meeting new people, most of my client's come back and it is brilliant watching their family grow over the years.
If the little people in our family do not wish to perform, I shall be patient and wait, if a session lasts for longer than an hour, so be it, all I want to achieve is to caputure their little character, giving you a memory that lasts a life time.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have alway had a love of photography, from a small child when my Dad gave me one of his old camera's. I spent all of my pocket money on developing film. I was then asked by one of my cousins to take some photos of her wedding, which I accepted, and it all spiraled from there. I worked full time in a law firm and did weddings on a weekend. When I got made redundant in 2013, I finally took the plunge and did photography as a full time business, and to date I have not regretted.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm a friendly relaxed person, I listen to each individual's requirement so everyone gets the most out of their photo shoot and enjoys their whole experience. I have a large range of props, I have recently added a chrismas sledge to my list of props which all the children love.
Equine Photography
This is a unique shoot, to capture the relationship between you and your horse or pony
Doggy Paw-traits
Why does the loyalist family member have to miss out on a photo opportunity?
I'm a great dog lover and proud dog owner of little Rosie and she has to be said never likes to be missed out on a photo oppotunity.
I offer a friendly, and relaxed experience, in order to get the best of our perfect pooches. My photo shoots are never stressful, but an enjoyable experience.
No dog is to big or small, they all have their own personalities, I would love for you to bring your four legged friend along for a photo shoot. The shoots can be split in to an outdoor shoot in the wood area to the rear of the studio. Should our British weather let us down, we can do the shoot in the comfort of a studio environment.
To celebrate your dogs 1st birthday, I also offer a cake smash photo shoot, along with a special doggy cake for them to enjoy, dont worry about the mess, as there is none as our pooches eat the lot.
Cake Smash & Splash Shoots
Cake Smash & Splash Photo Session. . .
These shoots can get pretty messy, so I start with some pre-smash portraits being taken of your child, capturing their many expressions, Then we introduce the cake and get messy. Don't worry though, you would not be taking a baby home covered in cake, this is why we finish of your photo shoot with a splash shoot, as why waste a valable photo opportunity watching your little one have fun in a bath, splish splashing.
A cake smash photo session is a relaxed, fun and joyful way to commemorate the milestone of your little one’s first birthday. Why not book a shoot and capture your baby’s surprise, curiosity and delight as they first taste of sugar. I aim to capute your little ones unique personality in a relaxed and carefree way.
The cost of the cake smash photoshoot does include the cost of a large homemade cup cake. If your child has any allergies we recommend you bring in your own cake, and the cost of the shoot will be reduced.
Cake Smash & Splash Shoot
Watch Me Grow Package
Why?
The first year of your babies life will pass you by so quickly, before you know it their first birthday is around the corner.
This watch me grow photography package is the perfect way to preserve those memories of their first year with a newborn session, a wonderful sitting session, and ends with the popular and fun cake smash.
This package consists of 4 photoshoots at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. This package is a great way of capturing your baby smiling, developing their own little personality and depending on age could even be sitting or crawling. At each sage you can get some amazing images that are timeless and show so much expression! At these sessions I welcome siblings as it is a much shorter session, lasting only 1 hour and works very well. Photographs can be taken with baby on their own and with siblings, and I can even take a few family shots if time permits. You are also welcome to bring changes of outfits.
1ST BIRTHDAY
The last session is conducted for Baby's first birthday. You can choose between a cake smash or a standard portrait session. I am happy to conduct the cake smash session before the first birthday should you wish to use the pictures for birthday invites. However your baby must be sitting confidently to perform a cake smash session. This session is a fabulous record of your child’s first birthday and you will be so glad you captured it!
You Can Upgrade This Package To Include A Newborn Photoshoot.
Newborn
To achieve those sleepy, peaceful, newborn pictures you should book your session no later than the first two weeks of baby's birth. Before day 10 is best and although this may seem very early it really will allow you to capture some beautiful images of your newborn to look back on in the many years to come … it may be a cliché but before long they will be a newborn no more! My sessions are very relaxed and will take as much time as required, sometimes up to 4 hours to allow for feeding, changing and lots and lots of settling! Mum and Dad can feel free to join in too.
If you would like more information on my Watch Me Grow sessions then please get in touch as I would love to hear from you.
Family Portraits
When Was The Last Time You Had A Family Photoshoot?
Why not come along to a relaxed photoshoot, whether it is your special little people in your life or a shoot to include the whole family.
I can guarantee you will enjoy the whole experience, I have a relaxed, friendly approach to each shoot. Our children change so quickly and they do not seem to be children for very long, so why not let me capture their individual character, and create a memory to last you a life time.
If you have a dog or pet whether it large or small, why not bring them along and include them in the shoot.
You Do Not Need To Have Your Family Photoshoot In A Studio Environment..
If it is spring, summer or autumn and your children are old enough to move around then an outdoor location is the good option!
The children will be active and the backdrop varied. The best locations are those with textures: woods, old buildings, over-grown fields, or a location that is special to you and your family so that your children are free to run around and explore.
I find that the freedom of the outdoors allows you and your children to relax and have fun, creating beautiful natural images. Every family is unique and wants something different.
