Why the discount?!

I messed up. Some of your early bird waitlist sign-ups vanished into an internet void (so I couldn’t email you the details)… totally my fault.

To put it right, I’m giving you £50 off this week only!

“I was nervous about how it would go with all of the dogs and children, but the results are unreal. I love having photos of us all as a family, as it’s usually me behind the camera!”

Hey, I’m Sarah!

I’m a photographer, mum, and general chaos coordinator. My life is full of capturing memories, chasing after my teenagers, and attempting to tire out our hyper labradoodle.

I’m all about real moments - whether that’s getting a family to laugh together or helping a business show off its personality. I’ve been snapping photos for years, and honestly, it never gets old seeing people’s faces light up when they see their pictures.

If you’re looking for relaxed, fun, and beautiful photos (and maybe a little bit of chaos!), I’d love to work with you. Let’s create something amazing together!

Something to Look Forward To This Autumn

Wouldn’t it be great to have a set of gorgeous autumn photos of your favourite people - the kind that actually feel like you? Before the kids shoot up another size, you’ll have a little snapshot of life right now, muddy boots and all.

You’ll come away with a beautiful set of images ready to share, print, and enjoy - just in time for Christmas.

Whether it’s updating the frames at home, sending gifts the grandparents will rave about, or simply having photos you’re proud to share, these minis are a lovely way to tick something special off your list

F.A.Q’s

  • Each session includes a 20-minute shoot and 5 high-resolution images from a choice of approximately 15 images from your own password protected online gallery.

  • As a waitlist member, you’ll receive an exclusive early bird discount code and first access to the booking calendar to secure your session.

  • Mini shoots are for immediate family (one household) and any four-legged friends.

  • If it is absolutely pouring with rain I will get in touch to reschedule to a new date . If it is overcast/foggy or 'just spitting with rain' the shoots will go ahead, there is a sheltered spot at Ayton Castle entrance, be sure to bring wellies and brollies so we can enjoy splashing in the puddles!

  • Choose outfits that reflect your style! Autumn colours like earthy tones and warm hues work beautifully against the backdrop of Ayton Castle's woodland.

  • Absolutely! Well behaved dogs are very welcome, they are part of the family and I love including them in photos. (Dogs must remain on a lead while in the grounds)

  • You’ll receive a digital gallery link to download your selected edited images. Options to upgrade to all digital images or to purchase products are available, but not required.

  • Please notify me as soon as possible if you need to cancel. I'll do my best to accommodate rescheduling, but cancellations made less than 48 hours in advance may incur a fee.

  • Edited images will typically be delivered within two weeks after your session.

Supporting Woodland Restoration

By choosing to book your Autumn Mini Shoot with me in the grounds of Ayton Castle, you’re not just capturing beautiful moments - you’re also supporting nature. A portion of the fee for using these stunning grounds goes directly towards Ayton Castle's incredible woodland restoration program. This winter, they are planting 300 native Scottish and threatened European and Asian trees, helping to sustain the local ecosystem and preserve the natural beauty of the area.

Together, we can create lasting memories while contributing to the future of local woodland. Join us in making a positive impact for generations to come!
