Headshot Photographers
Sara's photographs speak for themselves. They are the first photos of me I have ever liked. Sara was very quick at responding to my original query, which was for corporate suitable headshot, and was then very flexible with the day and time. The shoot was quick and easy, and Sara was so fun and friendly that I felt comfortable and at ease from the first moment to the last. I ended up buying some extra shots as I could not narrow them down enough. More...

I can be pretty self conscious when it comes to having photos taken but Sara put me at ease. I initially thought it would be hard to photograph my little boy Kevin but Sara made it fun and exciting for him. I Loved how she directed us too having a laugh and not taking it too serious which made it more relaxing (and kids done what they were told because of this!!) this made the end result natural. I would HIGHLY recommend Take A Portrait by Sara Merriman! Sara, You are super talented and if I’m honest I can’t stop looking at my photos 😁 THANK YOU SO MUCH 😘 5⭐️ More...

Sara made us all feel so comfortable and at ease! I’m not too comfortable in front of a camera but Sara is so good and letting you know the best angle which is the most complimentary and we are all so so happy with our lovely pictures. Would thoroughly recommend
