Got questions?
Click the button below to schedule a no-obligation phone call so we can talk about and get clear on what you need from your photography.
Consultation
After getting in touch, we can arrange to have a chat on the phone to get to know each other and for me to discover more about your business before arranging a date and location for the shoot. We will also discuss important aspects of your brand, photography needs, and details about your target customer and products.
Planning your product photography shoot
Being able to show your product's size through proportions and scale helps a potential buyer visualise your product. A good way to do this is by using a universal object or a person to show the size of the product compared to them.
Having a carefully arranged Flat Lay shot can create a story with the product, and these are really effective for website banner images. It doesn’t need to be complicated to be effective.
What happens on the day of your product photography shoot
Usually, the first session a brand will book with me is a longer portfolio shoot to start building up their bank of images.
How many hours a business will book depends on the number of products and how many other photographs are needed for their website.
For example, the first shoot might cover their premises, staff, and product variations, with follow-up shoots covering product updates or seasonal promotions, taking only an hour or two in the studio.
Your Gallery
A couple of weeks after the shoot, you’ll receive a link to your secure online gallery. From there, you can view and download your finished product images in both high resolution (for print) and web-ready formats (for websites and social media).
All images are carefully edited and ready to use straight away, with a licence included for business use across your marketing.

About Me
I know that choosing a photographer for your business isn’t just about the photos. It’s about feeling understood, supported, and confident that the end result will genuinely reflect what you do.
I'm Sarah, a professional photographer with over 20 years of experience, based in Berwick-upon-Tweed. I work with small businesses, makers and independent brands across Northumberland and the Scottish Borders, creating product photography and branding imagery that feels thoughtful, natural and considered.
Before we even pick up a camera, I take the time to understand your business, your products and how you plan to use the images. Whether that’s for your website, online shop, social media or marketing materials, my aim is to create product photography that works hard for you and fits seamlessly with the rest of your brand.
I love working with business owners who care deeply about what they make. Seeing their online presence level up with a consistent set of professional images is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
I’d be delighted to help tell your story.

Client experiences with product photography
Hazel Smith - International Tartans
“Sarah has just completed some outstanding product photography with our textiles company. We'd had an initial conversation with a couple of slick product photographers in Edinburgh but Sarah actually really got us. After a couple of sessions in the studio, we went out 'on location' for some website shots with some of our goods and chattels - she put her heart and soul into that work and we now have the basis for a really professional and competitive website.”
“I’m so glad you are taking care of my business branding and product photography Sarah, I really feel like I have landed on my feet with you. You’re so accommodating and just take my photo stress away! Looking forward to continuing working with you.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Product Photography
How much does professional product photography cost?
My product photography starts from £175, but the cost depends on the number of products, the style of photography you're looking for and how much time we'll need. Some businesses only need a handful of simple product shots, while others want a whole collection of images for their website and marketing. I'm always happy to chat through what you need and put together an estimate.
Where are you based, and do you photograph products on location?
My photography studio is in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, where I photograph products for businesses across Northumberland, the Scottish Borders and beyond. I can also come to your premises if you'd prefer your products photographed in their usual surroundings, or as part of a wider branding shoot.
Can I send my products to you rather than attend the shoot?
If you're not local, we can arrange for products to be sent to my studio in Berwick-upon-Tweed. We'll chat through exactly what you're looking for beforehand and arrange how your products will be returned afterwards. It's a handy option if you're based further afield.
Do you photograph products on plain backgrounds or styled settings?
Both! I can create simple, clean product photographs on white or coloured backgrounds, as well as more creative, styled images using props, textures and carefully chosen settings. It really depends on your products, your brand and where you plan to use the photographs.
Can I come along to the product photography session?
Of course! You're very welcome to come to the studio and be involved in the shoot. Some clients enjoy helping with styling and arranging their products, while others are happy to leave everything to me. Either is absolutely fine.
Can you photograph my products being made or used?
Yes, and these are often some of my favourite photographs to take! Showing the people, processes and craftsmanship behind your products can be just as valuable as the finished product photographs. We can arrange a shoot at your workshop, shop or business premises, or incorporate some of these images into a wider brand photography session.
How long does a product photography session take?
It depends on what we're photographing and how many different images you need. Simple product photographs can be relatively quick, while more creative styling, multiple products or lifestyle images take longer. We'll plan everything beforehand so we can make the best use of our time together.
How will I receive my photographs, and can I use them for my business?
You'll receive your professionally edited photographs through a private online gallery, usually within a couple of weeks of your shoot. Images are supplied in high-resolution and web-ready formats, ready to use on your website, online shop, social media and marketing materials. A commercial usage licence is included.

Show More Than Just Your Products
Product photography highlights what you sell, but branding photography tells the full story of your business. If you need lifestyle images, behind-the-scenes shots, or personal branding portraits, a branding session will help bring your business to life.
