Need fresh brand photos, but not ready for a full shoot?

My mini brand shoots are fun, relaxed 20-minute sessions at two beautiful locations: The Beach Retreat in Shoreham, or Stoneham Park in Hove.

In just 20 minutes, you'll come away with a collection of headshots and lifestyle portraits that show your personality, passion and purpose – perfect for refreshing your website, LinkedIn and social media, and helping you connect with your dream clients.

Below, you can see the variety of photos we captured during Sam's 20-minute shoot at The Beach Retreat.

What Sam Said

“Sarah is brilliant. The magic comes from her ability to put you at ease and relax (in a setting I have always found very uncomfortable). The results are images that really capture the essence of who you are as they are so natural (yet flattering!).

The preparation Sarah does with you prior to the shoot ensures your photos are perfect for their use. Her briefing and advice (what photographs well) is invaluable. On the day, Sarah immediately put me at ease, working quickly to capture the images I needed. I can't recommend Sarah enough.”

How it works

The prep

You fill out my questionnaire and I find out all about you, your brand and what you want to achieve from the shoot. I send you my prep guide to help you get ready for your shoot with absolute confidence. 

The shoot

This is where we have fun and create! We spend 20 minutes together taking photos that capture you and your brand in a way that feels natural and joyful. And I offer posing guidance throughout.

The photos

Your gallery is live within two weeks of your shoot. You review a selection of beautiful new branding photos and select your favourites. They are ready to download as soon as payment is made. 

What my clients say

  • A woman smiling with shoulder-length brown hair, wearing a dark gray T-shirt with a red and yellow 'Long Beach California' logo, earrings, and a necklace with lightning bolt pendant, sitting indoors with a blurred background.

    “Aaaw thank you sooo much Sarah - you are so easy to 'work' with. I quickly felt at ease rather than it being all too staged so thanks to YOU!”

    Michelle

  • A woman with dark braided hair and sunglasses on her head, smiling outdoors with yellow autumn leaves in the background.

    “Thank you for making that such a fun experience, I can't believe how many lovely photos we got in such a short time.”

    Elohor

  • A woman with shoulder-length wavy blonde hair, smiling at the camera, wearing a black top and layered necklaces, sitting indoors.

    “I had the BEST experience with Sarah! I cannot recommend her enough. She made the entire process so easy and enjoyable.”

Feeling nervous about a photo shoot? You’re not alone! But don’t worry—I've got you covered. My mini branding sessions are designed to be stress-free, enjoyable, and tailored to help you look and feel your best.

Common Concerns (And why you don’t need to worry!)

“I don’t know how to pose.”
If you haven’t been taught how, why would you? That’s where I come in. I’ll gently guide you into natural and flattering poses—so you don’t have to overthink a thing.

“I feel awkward in front of the camera.”
And you are not alone, as 99% of my clients say this before their shoot! And after? They tell me how relaxed they felt and how much they actually enjoyed the experience. I create a warm, encouraging atmosphere to help you shine with confidence.

“I have no idea what to wear.”
No stress! Before your mini shoot, you’ll receive my comprehensive preparation guide packed with clothing tips to help you choose outfits that reflect your brand and make you feel amazing. You can also email me clothing options for my input on styling if you wish.

“Where will the shoot take place?”
I take care of everything! My mini branding mornings are held in gorgeous, carefully chosen locations. All you need to do is show up and enjoy the experience.
