Eternal Memories Photography

I’m Sarah — a friendly, professional photographer based in Hoyland Nether, serving Barnsley and the surrounding South Yorkshire area. Family photography is my passion and my primary focus: I work with parents, babies, children and pets to create honest, timeless images that become family heirlooms. Why choose Eternal Memories Photography for your family photoshoot? I bring a warm, calm presence and a creative eye to every session. My goal is to capture genuine connections rather than stiff poses — that relaxed, conversational approach helps even camera-shy children feel at ease and lets real personalities shine through. Whether you prefer the comfort of my studio or the relaxed energy of an outdoor location, I tailor each session to your family’s story and style. What makes my approach special is a blend of patience, gentle guidance and attention to detail. For newborns and babies I prioritise safety and comfort: the studio is cosy and soothing, we work at your baby’s pace and I use careful handling to create soft, natural images. For family and children sessions I mix posed portraits with documentary moments — the hugs, the laughter, the tiny gestures — so you get a rich collection of images that feel like your life, not a checklist. I welcome pets as part of family sessions because I know how much our four-legged friends mean to us. I’m used to working with unpredictable, playful companions and enjoy creating fun, relaxed portraits that include every member of the family. How we work together: we start with a friendly conversation about what you want to achieve. I’ll offer simple wardrobe and location suggestions, plan a session that suits your family’s energy, and make sure everyone feels comfortable on the day. After the shoot I carefully edit each image to a natural, timeless finish so the photographs will still look beautiful years from now. If you’re looking for a family photographer who values authenticity, warmth and thoughtful storytelling, I’d love to hear about your plans. Let’s create beautiful, lasting memories of your family in Hoyland Nether and Barnsley. Eternally Yours, Sarah
