Family Location Photography Sessions

Our natural and relaxed family location photoshoot will leave you with beautiful, everlasting memories.

Whether we meet on the beach, in the woods, in the park or even in granny’s garden, the time we spend together will be spent with buckets and spades in the sand, dancing while the sun goes down or sitting on gingham blankets with a flask of hot tea and scones warm from the oven, creating timeless art as unique as you and your family.

Is there ever a more precious time than now?

"By displaying photographs of our children at different stages of their lives, we are making a very public statement that we are proud of them. It's very significant that the two reasons people give for loving a particular photograph is that it reminds them of a happy time taken with family. These things are so important to us." 

Professor Geoff Beattie, Head of School and Dean of Psychological Sciences at the University of Manchester

It was a lovely experience and I felt Sarah took great care and imagination with her photography and that comes from her obvious passion for all she does in her work. It shines through!

Sarah gains a really good understanding of what you like and don’t like and therefore produces amazing photos that you will love. Her ability to put both adults and children at ease made our shoot a very enjoyable experience.

How Do I Book a Session?

Click the button below to book a call with me for a chat about a date, time and location that would suit your family.

After you get in touch, we will send you the product and price guide for you to look through. If you decide to go ahead, we will send you a sequence of helpful emails and guided planning in the run-up to the session.

Clothing and Setting Consultation

A natural, relaxed portrait experience is achieved by starting with our clothing and setting consultation, either over the phone or in the studio. At this (optional) informal meeting, we discuss any ideas you have for the session, wardrobe choices, and your family's personalities. This will help me learn a little more about your expectations of the session, your family dynamics, and your emotional connections. Here we'll also confirm the time, date, and location of the session.

Hair and make-up can be arranged on request. I’m happy to organise great stylists to make sure you look fabulous in your portrait and I can even advise you on how to pose for the most flattering photographs.

There are lots of 'go to' locations that we can tell you about at the consultation; you may, however, have your own ideas for a location, which is welcomed. These sessions are usually carried out on Northumberland's breathtaking coastline or within the rolling countryside of the Scottish Borders. Wherever we go, the experience will leave the whole family with beautiful lasting memories.

Sessions take place within 15 miles of my studio in Berwick-upon-Tweed unless arranged in advance.

Your Photography Session

We will meet for the appointment at a gorgeous location of choice. Your session will normally take between 1-1.5 hours, keeping things fun and relaxed with no pressure for the best photographic outcome, especially if young children are involved.  

I will give you gentle prompts and directions to elicit genuine interaction and emotional connection.

Extended family are welcome if you would like to share the experience.

In order to give you my very best, I limit the number of location portrait sessions to four per week. This means that at some times of the year your appointment will need to be made around five to eight weeks in advance. As you can imagine, Saturday afternoons and school holidays are extremely popular for family location sessions.

View & Choose Ordering Session

Approximately one week after your photography session, you will be invited to our studio to look through your photographs and make a selection. You'll be able to see everything on a big screen for an easier viewing experience.

Framing and wall display examples can be viewed during the ordering session enabling you to see exactly how your photographs could look. We assist you step-by-step in the selection process, ensuring that you have the right pictures, frames, and mounts for your home and décor.

Wall Planning

Our speciality is in custom-designed wall galleries created specifically for your home, if you are interested in our complimentary wall design service, please let us know before your view and choose session so that we can prepare some mock-up ideas for you.

Please Note: Ordering appointments usually last around an hour and are not much fun for small children. We recommend that you set aside your viewing as some quality 'me' time, either with or without your partner but preferably without the children. Trust us, they will thank you for it!
