Sarah Jones Photos

Sarah Jones Photos is a Hemel Hempstead-based family photography specialist who builds portraits around real connection and relaxed moments. Sarah’s journey from a career in finance to full-time photographer was sparked by photographing her own daughter — she knows how fast childhood passes and how treasured genuine photographs become. That personal experience shapes everything she does: creating calm, friendly sessions where people can be themselves. Working from a comfortable home studio in Hemel Hempstead or at a local outdoor location, Sarah focuses on natural, candid family portraits that feel authentic rather than posed. Her approach is warm and patient, perfect for families with newborns, toddlers and older children. She brings a gentle, conversational style to sessions so even camera-shy parents or shy little ones settle quickly. Newborn and baby shoots are handled with special care and time allowance for feeds and comfort, while children’s and family sessions are playful, capturing personality and spontaneous smiles. Why choose Sarah Jones Photos? Sarah blends technical skill — developed through photography courses, diplomas and mentoring with experienced photographers — with a calm, reassuring presence that families value. She’s a member of The Guild of Photographers and The Society of Wedding & Portrait Photographers, and works with integrity and attention to detail. The studio is pet-friendly, and Sarah often includes family pets in portraits when that feels right, creating memorable ‘pawtraits’ that reflect the family at home. How she works: before your session Sarah will discuss location, wardrobe and any personal touches you want to include — treasured items like scan photos, tiny shoes or favourite toys make beautiful keepsakes. On the day she creates a relaxed atmosphere, guiding natural interactions and playful prompts rather than rigid posing. After the shoot she carefully selects and edits the images to preserve the honest colour and emotion of the moment. Whether you’re looking for a family portrait, a newborn welcome shoot, a fun children’s session or a special birthday celebration, Sarah Jones Photos specialises in capturing the everyday love and joy that define family life in Hemel Hempstead. Her priority is creating photos you’ll cherish for years to come.
