Modelling portfolio shoot

I was so pleased to be asked by budding model Jemma if I would take some pictures for her portfolio. We decided to go for the challenge of taking these in Woking Town Centre at the end of a college day for Jemma. Not the place that immediately springs to mind for pretty backdrops! Fortunately we were able to catch a bright sun a little while before it set and had good fun getting a variety of moody shots. Check out the rest of the shoot in the customer galleries section.


Here's Jemma's comments about the session:

"I've had a photo shoot before - but it wasn't half as good as this one. It was so enjoyable! The presentation my CD came in was fantastic. Sarah, thank you for everything you've done! I felt so comfortable and the photos are just incredible!"

I'm sure we are going to be seeing more of this gorgeous girl in future!

Romantic Engagement Session in the Surrey Snow!

I've been in my absolute element this week not only having fun with the girls making snowmen and sledging but out and about with the camera bag too! The local stretch of canal is now completely frozen over and makes a great backdrop for wintery outdoor portraits.

The loveliest bride-to-be you can imagine, Trudi and Paul, her England Rugby scrum half fiance had an impromptu engagement session in the snow this week. We had the idea way back in the summer that we'd hold off doing the pre-wedding practice session in the feint hope we might get some dreamy snow pictures over the winter. And the dream came true! See the truly romantic results in the clip above. Paul and Trudi are SUCH a pleasure to photograph - so clearly in love and such a fab, fun couple! (I really can't wait for their wedding!)

The place we took these pictures is very close to my base in Woking and I would happily take any intrepid couples or families down there and 'make hay while the sun shines' - or rather take pictures while the snow lasts! Infact I've been there again this afternoon for a family of nine having a birthday photo session (a gift from my friend Kevin's wife for his 30th birthday).

Please contact me asap if you'd also like some photos in the snow, before it melts!

Testimonial - 'at home' family portrait session

'Sarah came in and took photos without you even realising she was there. She really captured special moments beautifully without us feeling posed and unnatural.  I was particularly impressed with the speed with which we recieved the photos once the order was confirmed.

The photos are absolutely fabulous!'

If you go down to the woods today...

We race to the Bluebell Woods when we know the flowers are out. Apart from the lovely little (scented) walk that delights my two little princesses (they were, this time, convinced it's Hundred Acre Wood and that Owl and Kanga might be found lurking behind a tree) its just too photogenic for words. We took our great friends from next door and the girls' cousins too... A fab afternoon out!

Testimonial - Sue and Nick, Engagement Shoot

Neither my fiancé, Nick, or I are overly fond of being in front of the camera; but we were pleasantly surprised that we actually thoroughly enjoyed the informal shoot we had recently at Wisley Gardens with Sarah. We felt so "at home" with her we were able to relax and go with the flow. Her infectious enthusiasm and very friendly style put us completely at our ease. Her personal and very flexible approach have also always been helpful.

As for the results, we were very pleased with the photos and their very thoughtful presentation. We’re really "chuffed" that we’ve booked Sarah as our photographer for our special day, especially as it’s a small informal wedding with lots of children. Capturing children and families is one her big strengths and we feel she will "fit in" so well with the friendly atmosphere we’re hoping for on our special day.

Anna and Simon's wedding

We photographed a lovely wedding in St Alban's Shendish Manor last weekend. The really gorgeous young couple, Anna and Simon had in most parts a traditionally styled white wedding but they added some cheeky red additions like Anna's fab red satin stilettos.

It was a privilege to be part of Anna and Simon's day - I especially enjoyed the sincere live worship which formed part of their moving church wedding ceremony. Simon is leading the worship at a big Christian youth festival 'newday' http://www.newday.xtn.org/
next week so I'm sure he'll be flat out as soon as he gets back from honeymoon. I do hope they like their pictures!
