Sarah Glen Photography

Sarah Glen is a specialist family photographer based near Grangemouth with an award‑winning approach rooted in warmth, patience and attention to detail. With over 15 years of experience and a cosy garden studio in Falkirk (Lionthorn), Sarah has been trusted by hundreds of families to capture the everyday moments and milestone memories that matter most. Why choose Sarah? Her focus is on creating relaxed, natural family portraits that feel like you — not stiff, posed images. She believes the best photographs come from real connections: the laughter between siblings, a quiet nuzzle from a parent, the tiny expressions that make childhood so precious. Sarah’s gentle, patient manner (she even calls herself having the “patience of a saint”) helps children and parents feel at ease, so she can document authentic moments rather than forced smiles. What makes her approach special is the blend of a calm studio environment and a love of outdoor family sessions across Scotland’s beautiful landscapes. In the Lionthorn garden studio she creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere ideal for close, intimate portraits; outdoors she seeks natural light and meaningful backdrops to tell your family’s story. Sarah places particular care on how images will live in your home — she champions printed portraits and thoughtful displays that help children grow up surrounded by their own family story. How she works: Sarah plans the session with you to understand what you want to remember, then adapts on the day to suit the personalities in front of the lens. She balances gentle direction with a documentary eye, encouraging playful interaction while staying ready for spontaneous moments. Whether you’re after a relaxed outdoor shoot, a studio family portrait, or a maternity session alongside family images, Sarah’s process is calm, collaborative and centred on making the experience enjoyable for everyone. Driven by a love of family life and a belief that photographs should be cherished and displayed, Sarah Glen creates portraits that feel honest, timeless and full of heart.
