Sarah West Photography

Sarah West Photography is a Bracknell-based specialist in family photography, dedicated to creating timeless family portraits that feel natural and true to you. Sarah’s approach is warm, personal and relaxed — shaped by years of photographing her own children and hundreds of local families. She believes the best images come when people are comfortable, so sessions are gently guided to encourage real smiles, small interactions and the candid moments that become family favourites. Sessions take place in Sarah’s purpose-built garden studio in Winkfield Row or on location around Bracknell. The studio’s private side access, cosy ambience and thoughtfully curated props make it an ideal refuge for families with babies and young children. For families who prefer a more playful vibe, outdoor sessions capture children at their most spontaneous — running, exploring and being themselves against seasonal landscapes. What sets Sarah apart is her focus on connection and storytelling. Rather than forcing stiff poses, she looks for the little gestures: a whispered joke between siblings, the way a parent’s hand rests on a child’s shoulder, or the curiosity in a toddler’s face. Those small, authentic details are carefully composed into clean, timeless portraits you’ll want on your walls. Sarah’s background as a mother and her decade-plus experience running a family photography business give her the patience and technical know-how to manage all ages — from newborns and babies to older children and extended family groups. She brings a calm, friendly manner that helps even camera-shy family members relax. Her sessions are tailored to you: outfit advice, gentle direction, and the option to include meaningful keepsakes so your images feel personal. Families receive a private, password-protected online gallery to view their edited images, making it easy to choose favourites and share with relatives. While family photography is her core specialism, Sarah also offers related studio services such as maternity and newborn photography, ensuring a cohesive approach to documenting your family’s milestones. If you want family portraits that reflect who you are — affectionate, playful, honest — Sarah West Photography in Bracknell offers a thoughtful, experienced photographer who cares about your story and the way it’s captured.
