Hello, kia ora — I'm Sarah Angel, a Hale-based family specialist. I create playful, relaxed outdoor and at-home family, maternity and newborn portraits in natural light, with fine-art prints to display at home.
If you’re after family photography that feels like a little adventure rather than a photo appointment, you’re in the right place. I’m Sarah Angel — a Kiwi mum and Fine Art-trained photographer based in Hale, GB — and I specialise in family, maternity and portrait photography. My work is grounded in relaxed, natural‑light shooting and a gentle, baby‑led approach for newborn and at‑home sessions. Why choose me? My First Class Honours in Photography and years of photographing families across Surrey, Hampshire and London have taught me one clear thing: great family portraits come from genuine connection. I spend time getting to know your family so I can create images that are both beautiful and true to how you live. My style is playful and relaxed — I aim to capture the small, messy, wholehearted moments that become the images you proudly display at home. How I work with families: our process begins with a friendly, no‑pressure chat to understand what you want from your session. I offer thoughtful guidance on locations, timing and wardrobe so we make the most of the light and your family’s comfort. On the day I create a calm, unhurried atmosphere — whether we’re exploring heathland on an outdoor family adventure, or spending quiet time together for a babies‑at‑home session. I use techniques that let connection happen naturally, then refine the images with careful editing and present them in a private online gallery for you to choose your favourites. What makes the experience special: beyond the photos themselves I help families bring their images to life. I offer fine‑art printing and luxurious presentation options handmade by British craftspeople, plus advice on display solutions so your portraits become daily reminders of your family story. Gift vouchers and mini sessions are also available for those who want a shorter, seasonal option. While my core focus is family, maternity and portrait work, I also photograph well‑behaved doggies on-location and run one‑to‑one beginners workshops for parents who want to learn to make better portraits themselves. If you’d like to talk about a family session in Hale or nearby, please get in touch — I’d love to hear about your family’s next little heart adventure.
