Purple Kite Photography

Hi — I’m Sarah, the photographer behind Purple Kite Photography based in Hertford, Hertfordshire. Family photography is my first love: documenting the small, imperfect moments that become the most treasured memories. I specialise in relaxed, documentary-style family photoshoots that feel natural, not staged — the kind of images you’ll still want to look at in twenty years’ time. Why choose Purple Kite for your family photos? I’m a mum of two, so I understand the tiny, fleeting details parents want to keep — the sleepy newborn curl, the way little fingers hold yours, the laughter that bubbles up when everyone forgets there’s a camera. My approach is calm and quietly encouraging: I gently guide rather than direct, helping you find flattering light and simple, authentic moments without making your day feel like a photoshoot. My sessions are tailored around what works best for your family. Whether that’s a cosy home lifestyle session, an on-location shoot in one of Hertfordshire’s beautiful outdoor spots, or studio portraits that capture personality against clean backgrounds, I work to create images that tell your family’s story. I also photograph babies, newborns, children and family celebrations — always with the same emphasis on warmth and honesty. How I work with you: we start with a friendly chat so I can learn about your family, the photos you want and any practical considerations. On the day I focus on creating a relaxed atmosphere — plenty of time for children to warm up, space for feeds or breaks, and playful prompts that bring out real smiles. After the session you’ll receive a private online gallery of professionally edited images, ready to download and share. My photography style is vibrant yet natural, with an eye for candid moments and simple compositions. I love the challenge of capturing personality in everyday life and the privilege of preserving memories you’ll revisit again and again. If you’re in Hertford or the surrounding area and looking for a family photographer who values warmth, patience and honest storytelling, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s create some memories together.
