Sarah Michelle is a specialist family photographer based in Glen Parva, offering calm, approachable family photoshoots that put real connection first. Her work is rooted in a relaxed, informal style — more like popping over for a cup of tea and a walk than a formal photoshoot. That easygoing atmosphere helps even camera-shy parents and lively children feel at ease, so she can capture genuine moments that become treasured family keepsakes. Why choose Sarah Michelle? Her photography is all about authenticity. She prioritises natural interactions, simple styling and minimal props so the focus stays on your family’s personality. Whether you prefer the intimacy of her cosy ‘White Studio’ or the soft, natural light of local Leicestershire locations, Sarah crafts images that feel timeless and true to you. She usually finishes a session with a couple of more posed group images to provide variety—so you receive a mix of candid, everyday moments and classic family portraits. Her process is friendly and personal. Before the session she’ll take time to understand what matters to you so the shoot flows in a way that suits your children and family dynamic. On the day she works at a relaxed pace, creating a playful, safe space for kids to be themselves and for parents to relax. After the shoot, clients receive a private, password-protected online gallery to view and share images at their convenience. Sarah began with a lifelong love of portraiture and family photography, inspired by the treasured albums she grew up with. That sense of memory and story underpins everything she creates — she aims not just to make pretty pictures, but to capture the small details and connections you’ll want to revisit for years to come. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Glen Parva and across Leicestershire who specialises in relaxed, natural family portraits and children photography, Sarah Michelle offers a warm, professional experience tailored to your family.
