BlueBelle Photography is a Horsham-based family photography specialist who focuses on honest, emotive portraits that celebrate real family life. Led by Sarah Dowdall—an award-winning photographer and winner of the 2022 Guild of Photographers Founders Cup—BlueBelle creates images that feel timeless and personal, designed for walls at home and bright, shareable moments online. Sarah’s approach is gentle, patient and conversational. Having worked with children and animals all her life, she understands how to put people at ease, coax natural expressions and capture personalities rather than posed smiles. Whether you’re bringing toddlers, grandparents or the family dog, sessions are relaxed and tailored to your family’s rhythm so that photographs reflect genuine connection and individual character. Working across Horsham and the wider West Sussex area, BlueBelle Photography prioritises a comfortable experience from the first contact. Sarah begins with a friendly pre-shoot conversation to understand what matters most to you—whether it’s candid play, classic group portraits or creating meaningful wall art. On the day she fosters a calm atmosphere so children can be themselves and relationships can unfold naturally in front of the lens. The result is a collection of images that tell the story of your family: playful moments, quiet bonds and those small, unforgettable details. BlueBelle’s photography style is natural and soulful, with an emphasis on light, expression and composition that suits families who want authentic portraits rather than overly staged studio shots. Many clients choose BlueBelle for milestone shoots, seasonal outdoor sessions and meaningful keepsakes, and gift vouchers are available for those who want to give the experience to loved ones. Sarah’s personal love of animals and family life also means she’s adept at including pets in sessions, ensuring every member of the family is celebrated. If you want a family photographer in Horsham who combines professional skill with a quietly confident, empathetic approach, BlueBelle Photography offers a calm, creative experience and beautiful, lasting portraits that capture the spirit of your family.
