Reviews

I am lucky to work with awesome clients who love what I do. These are some of the kind words they have said about me, taken from client emails, Facebook reviews and Google reviews (search for ‘Sarah Plater Photography’ on Google and click on ‘Reviews’):

“I recently had some photography training with Sarah at her gorgeous studio. Sarah was patient, welcoming and explained things in a way that was understandable. I felt that I really turned a corner with my photography and understanding of the technical side of my camera and that is because of Sarah’s guidance and support… I’m already booked onto my second session with her as I enjoyed it so much!”

Steph, camera and photography training client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We had a wonderful experience with Sarah, she is very professional and attentive. The shoot atmosphere was nice and it felt effortful and natural to be photographed in that setting, especially since it was crucial for the baby in order to get her real emotions and smiles.”

Olga, family photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“My partner bought me two shoots with Sarah, a pregnancy one and a newborn one, for Christmas and I couldn’t be happier with both the experience and the photos that came of it. Sarah was attentive, organised, kind and thoughtful from the very beginning. Her communication has always been exceptional and I can’t tell you how much she puts you at ease in front of the camera! Her attention to detail is second to none and that really shines through in the images – we are over the moon with everything and want to say a huge thank you to her! We would highly recommend her and will definitely be back to document the milestones when they happen!”

Ella, maternity and newborn photoshoot client from Wendover, Buckinghamshire

“Sarah was fantastic for our photoshoot. Our son was getting a bit upset to start with in the new environment but Sarah’s experience showed with all the tricks to get him smiling! After a bit of a break during the photoshoot, he was much more comfortable and Sarah got some amazing photos. We were soo nervous what the photos would look like because he wasn’t happy the whole time but the photos are amazing and so happy to mark this point in our little boy’s life – 100% recommend!”

Amy, first birthday cake smash client from Banbury, Oxfordshire

“Had a newborn shoot, and Sarah was very professional and competent with handling the newborn. She made us feel very at ease and welcomed into her studio. Photos were absolutely amazing and made both sets of grandparents cry!”

Tiff & Billy, newborn photography clients from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We recently had the pleasure of working with the incredibly talented photographer, Sarah, and I cannot express how thrilled I am with the entire experience. From start to finish, Sarah demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that truly set her apart.

Sarah created a comfortable and relaxed environment during our photo session. She has a warm and friendly personality that immediately put me and the nervous children at ease. She masterfully utilized light, color, and angles to create stunning visual compositions, those incredible photos will be treasured for many years to come.

She was also prompt in her communication, listened attentively to my ideas and preferences, and offered valuable suggestions that elevated the final outcome. Sarah’s dedication to delivering a high-quality experience was evident in every interaction.

I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone in need of a photographer.”

Melissa, newborn photography client from Chinnor, Oxfordshire

We had a cake smash back in June 2023 and The Christmas photoshoot November 2023 and both was amazing! my baby girl felt so comfortable around Sarah and she is brilliant with babies/toodlers! The picture are incredible and I can’t fault them at all lovely memories to keep forever! Thank you Sarah! X”

Scarlett, Limited Edition Christmas Mini Sessions client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah provided a very professional and relaxed environment for our food photography photoshoot. She guided us throughout the shoot and made very useful suggestions during the session. Sarah was both professional, friendly and thorough and involved us in the process from beginning to end. We received the photos in speedy time too. I would highly recommend Sarah and would definitely use her services again.”

Razwana, food photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah was wonderfully professional during the whole process of coordinating our newborn photography shoot. Her attention to detail in the information pack and gentle reminders leading up to the shoot were very helpful. The atmosphere was relaxed and clean (as important when you’re trusting someone with your newborn!). As we expected, the photographs were sensational and something we will cherish forever. Would highly recommend!”

Kate, newborn photography client from Ambroseden, Oxfordshire

“We cannot recommend Sarah enough after our recent newborn photoshoot. From booking the photoshoot all the way to receiving our photos, Sarah was professional yet friendly throughout. Sarah was fantastic with both our newborn daughter and our 4 year old and we were all made to feel very welcome and comfortable. We were amazed at how quickly we were able to view the online gallery and over the moon with how the photos turned out. Sarah is not just a fantastic photographer but a lovely person too who we would not hesitate to use again in the future.”

Lisa, newborn photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah is an amazing photographer. She took our ideas and was really flexible, as well as having lots of great ideas herself. It was a really lovely experience end to end and we are so happy with the outcome and can’t wait to share our photos.”

Sona, newborn photography client from London

“We recently spent the morning with Sarah for our son’s newborn photoshoot. Not only is Sarah extremely talented at photography, she was also a delight to spend some time with and get to know. Our little one had us running ragged, changing nappies & feeding away, Sarah was so patient and seemed to genuinely enjoying spending time with him. The cherry on top was of of course the photographs themselves! Sarah sent them way ahead of when we expected them which was a lovely surprise and we had a lovely family evening watching the slideshow in awe of what she had managed to produce. A tear or two may have been shed. These are precious memories we will cherish forever and I’m so glad we chose Sarah to capture them.”

Claire, newborn photography client from Banbury, Oxfordshire

“Couldn’t recommend Sarah enough she was so kind and welcoming! Lovely set where the photo are taken and a great atmosphere for babies and children. Was AMAZING with my baby girl she felt so comfortable around Sarah and she enjoy her time there! Photos were amazing!!”

Scarlett, first birthday cake smash photoshoot client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“I can’t recommend Sarah enough. We recently had a newborn photoshoot, Sarah was so gentle and patient with our 4 week old daughter. She is professional, friendly and put the whole family at ease. The session was calm and relaxed and not at all rushed. The images very high quality and absolutely beautiful, even better than I could have possibly imagined. Such a wonderful experience and we have now have very beautiful photos of our precious baby to keep and treasure forever.”

Hannah, newborn photography client from Oxford, Oxfordshire

“Sarah created a company video for us in May 2023. She was brilliant! Extremely efficient and nice to work with. She made staff feel v relaxed in front of the camera and got the job done in absolute record timing. No mean feat!”

Felicity, Promotional and Corporate Videos client from Oxfordshire

“We can’t thank Sarah enough for the fabulous experiences and amazing pictures we have to cherish from our Maternity and Newborn photoshoots. It’s not easy to get out of the house with 2 kids and being pregnant (and even harder with a newborn) let alone get everybody to act natural and smile for the camera. That’s when Sarah comes in and nails it! Honestly we were so relieved how at ease she made us all feel at the shoot- and kids loved – they just had fun and wanted to go back after we left! Highly highly recommend Sarah – if you want amazing professional pictures and enjoy the process look no further!”

Evgeniya, maternity and newborn photography client from Oxford, Oxfordshire

“I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough. It was very much a last-minute decision to get some ‘proper’ photos done of our little one, but we were lucky in that one of Sarah’s prior appointments had to be re-scheduled and this opened up a slot for us. From start to finish she made the process effortless and enjoyable. The pictures were exactly what we wanted and she was excellent with our 2-week-old throughout the shoot. That all her Google reviews are 5* is not a surprise!”

Russell, newborn photography client from Oxford, Oxfordshire

“I had some business headshots taken with Sarah. She was great! She sent over helpful advice beforehand, and she was friendly and patient through the shoot. Sarah never had to ask me to smile – we had a fun conversation throughout the shoot and I hardly noticed when she was taking photos. I’d highly recommend Sarah, even if you don’t have an adorable newborn baby like most of the reviewers here :)”

James, professional headshots client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah was very welcoming and professional. Our little one had a rough morning but he was quickly at ease in her studio capturing some beautiful shots. Thanks Sarah, highly recommend.”

Joe, newborn photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We had a newborn photoshoot done with our 8 week old daughter. Sarah was very quick to respond and made the entire process very stress free. The pictures were just incredible and i get so emotional every time i look at them.”

Caitlin, newborn photography client from Buckinghamshire

“My Husband and I met Sarah recently for our early maternity shoot. From the moment we stepped inside Sarah’s lovely home, she made us feel so at ease & comfortable. Both myself and my Husband had never experienced a photoshoot before, so we were pretty nervous, but Sarah made us feel so relaxed & comfortable immediately – which enabled us to have so much fun! Sarah made such an effort to get to know us as people and as a couple & was so complimentary and friendly. Then, we received our photos and we were over the moon! Sarah captured exactly what we wanted – everything as perfect!”

Emily, maternity photoshoot client from Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire

“It was an absolute delight to work with Sarah on our newborn photoshoot. From the beginning, every interaction was transparent and of a high quality with an impressive attention to detail. We were a bit apprehensive about taking on too much with the newborn, but the experience was so positive that we are really glad we did it! Sarah put a lot of effort into making the studio a warm (also literally!) and welcoming place. It was a treat to spend the morning with her in her studio. She was very patient and skilled with the baby, and thought about every small detail to make us comfortable during the photoshoot. We could not be happier with the pictures. Sarah took input from us ahead of time and included our last-minute customizations into the photoshoot. We will treasure these pictures for a long time.”

Prateek, newborn photography client from Oxford, Oxfordshire

“Where do I start to thank Sarah and Kate for helping me on my journey to recovery. Two years ago I suffered two episodes of Bells Palsy, which dramatically altered my appearance. I have come along way on my journey and stepping in front of a camera, was the next step in accepted my new face. Sarah took time to listen to my concerns, hopes, dreams and then prepared a shoot that was a fabulous experience. Sarah’s knowledge, skill and experience are evident in her photographs, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Sarah (and Kate) x”

Sharon, makeover photoshoot client from Oxfordshire

“Sarah knows how to make even those of us who hate cameras feel at ease, and made the whole experience as enjoyable as possible. Having used selfies for business purposes for far too long, one session with Sarah has given me a range of pictures to use in a variety of ways. Having taken the time to check what I was going to use them for, she tailored the shoot to meet my needs focusing on the format most relevant for my work. The whole process was seamless from start to finish, and the guidance on what to wear was incredibly helpful. Thank you Sarah.”

Lisa, professional headshots client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We chose a newborn shoot with Sarah after looking through her IG page. We wanted photos that were a little more natural and family-focussed than some of the over-posed and over-proped ones on the market . Sarah was so diligent in finding out what was important to us prior to the shoot to tailor our photos. The shoot itself was such an amazing experience to have with our baby. Sarah was amazing with our 5 week old, very gentle and caring and very reassuring and encouraging toward me and my partner who are both not 100% comfortable in front of a camera! We can’t thank Sarah enough, the pictures are so beautiful and capture our little family perfectly.”

Kate, newborn photography client from Wantage, Oxfordshire

“Fantastic experience with Sarah – for a group who is not keen on having their photo taken, she put us completely at ease! Call beforehand was great to talk through how it would work, everyone really enjoyed the shoot and the photos are magical. Highly recommend.”

VS, newborn photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“I thoroughly recommend Sarah, especially for anyone who is nervous about having photos taken of themselves, or who has had disappointing results in the past. The results are fantastic, and look very professional. Above all it was a fun experience – I really enjoyed chatting with Sarah, and felt completely relaxed throughout.”

Rebecca, professional headshot client from Kidlington, Oxfordshire

“Me, Alex, Tommy and Scarlett-Mae had the great opportunity to have our photos done professionally, by Sarah, the photos are amazing we fell in love with them straight away, we can’t thank you enough for finding the time to do this for us, would recommend 100%!!”

Stephanie, newborn photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Amazing experience and beautiful photographs. Sarah took her time with us and our 2 children (newborn and 3 year old), she was brilliant with them and captured our family so well it made me cry! Thank you xxxxx”

Vanessa, newborn photography client from Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire

“I’m so pleased we chose to work with Sarah for our maternity shoot. The images she created are beautiful which I’m sure is due to how relaxed and comfortable she made us both feel on the day. We laughed a lot throughout! It was extremely well planned from the guide we received in the post to the telephone prep meeting and shoot itself. I would not hesitate to recommend her or book again for family pictures in the future.”

Jess, maternity photography client from Northamptonshire

“Sarah made us feel completely at ease during our shoot with our newborn baby (first time parents). She was brilliant with our little girl too, very calming and gentle. We didn’t feel rushed, able to tend to our daughter as needed and ultimately came away with some fantastic photos that have captured our new little family perfectly. Highly recommend!”

Dann, newborn photography client from Didcot, Oxfordshire

“Sarah was brilliant- fitted us in at short notice with a newborn baby, was masterful at managing our very lively 2-year old, and produced beautiful photos. Couldn’t have asked for more.”

Jonathan, newborn photography client from Oxford, Oxfordshire

“We’ve now had two newborn photography shoots with Sarah. She makes the whole process incredibly easy and relaxing, Sarah is really flexible in our case accommodating for illness. She knows exactly how to get young children engaging with the process and is really patient in taking the time needed to capture the perfect photos.”

Tom, newborn photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah is a seasoned professional, who does everything with minute care and precision. She brings the best out of even the most awkward of models and makes you feel really at ease at the same time. The photos speak for themselves and everything is so well planned. The studio is lovely and cosy and Sarah is a bundle of energy. WE WOULDN”T RECOMMEND ANYONE ELSE TO CAPTURE THOSE SPECIAL MOMENTS! Thanks Sarah.”

Gavin, Bump to Baby Maternity and Newborn Photoshoot client from Bedfordshire

“I recently attended a photography session with Sarah to create some photos for my upcoming website and for some new social media branding. Sarah instantly made me feel so welcome, I was so nervous and she put me at ease straight away , we talked, we laughed but she is so friendly and professional. She has a wonderful studio to work from and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her for any future shoot Thank you so much Sarah, you listened to what I needed from our first initial conversation right through to the end.”

Kerry, personal branding and headshot photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“I attended Sarah’s studio for some beginner’s training in Studio Photography and I was so happy with the training I received. Sarah is so friendly and welcoming. She catered the training to my specific needs (I’m a total beginner!) and explained everything clearly to me and at my pace. I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone who is looking for some training in photography.”

Laura, 1:1 camera and photography training client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“My partner and I had not considered pictures before the arrival of our little man, however after a traumatic birth and seeing his changes every day, we decided that we wanted to get some pictures we could treasure forever. Little man was 10 weeks at the time of photographing, and Sarah was more than happy to deal with an older new born. Before the shoot Sarah was quick with responses and made everything clear as to how the shoot would work. On the day, we walked into a beautifully presented and warm studio and were instantly relaxed. Neither my partner nor I are very comfortable in front of the camera, but Sarah made everything so light hearted and easy. She handled our little man amazingly and We felt very comfortable letting Sarah work her magic with him. At the end of it all we have a bundle of beautiful photos that we will keep close to our hearts for many years to come. Highly recommended.”

Emily, newborn photography client from Buckingham, Buckinghamshire

“I recently attended a session with Sarah primarily to get some professional shots for my 9 month old Chance’s modelling portfolio. After initially looking at the beautiful images on Sarah’s website I decided to book in and I wasn’t disappointed. Sarah was very warm and welcoming from the start, full of helpful hints and tips to prepare for our session. Sarah soon puts you at ease with her friendly manner and clearly has a lot of experience photographing people of all ages from the very youngest to the oldest! Chance responded very happily and enjoyed his session and Sarah also suggested I have a few shots of Chance and I together, so glad I did! The end results are fantastic, very beautiful timeless images that capture Chance and his character perfectly and some wonderful photos of the two of us to treasure! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sarah as she works really hard to ensure she delivers exactly what you are looking for and is very keen to hear your ideas but gently guide you to get the best results! Ultimately well worth the money for the beautiful images you will get to keep forever. Thankyou Sarah from Roxane & Chance X”

Roxane, sitter session client from near Bicester, Oxfordshire

“I really wanted to try get a maternity shoot in on a very tight deadline before my partner flew overseas for work. Sarah was very quick to respond to my request and accommodate us with this. As someone who doesn’t like being in front of the camera,Sarah made it so comfortable for us and the environment was very relaxing. The photos were absolutely amazing,we were blown away with how beautiful they turned out. We are so happy we chose Sarah to capture this special journey for us and we look for forward to the next shoot with our little baby girl! We high recommend her for anyone who wants to capture special family moments.”

Tenille, maternity photography client from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire

“Very friendly and professional photographer. Good value of money, amazing quality of pictures.”

Soni, newborn photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We loved our photoshoot with Sarah, she was amazing with the kids and got some gorgeous photos! I can’t wait to put them up in the house!!”

Vicky, family photography client from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire

“Sarah is literally, hands down THE most professional, relaxed and patient individual I have ever met.

From the moment I spoke to Sarah about having a secret photo shoot she was interested in not only the photo outcome but by me and us as a family. Due to the nature of trying to facilitate a surprise photoshoot, I arrived in somewhat of a chaotic state with 2 children hanging off me! Sarah was so quick to resolve the situation by helping in every way possible. Very quickly my girls (and I) were relaxed and enjoying the ‘play date’….which is exactly what it felt like.

Despite the chaotic feeling I had, Sarah was completely confident and in control and quite rightly too as the images are exactly what I had hoped for.

Since the big reveal, my husband has been slightly overwhelmed by the beautiful pictures and the gesture that has meant we now have both of our daughters captured at a very special moment in time. We will definitely be back in the future for even more of the whole family. There genuinely isn’t anywhere else I would go and absolutely no one else I would trust.

Thank you so much Sarah, you’ve made our walls complete and our hearts full!”

Nicole, family photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“From the moment I contacted Sarah, her approach and attitude was great – professional, flexible when we changed the date at the last minute, as well as timing for feeding a newborn in advance. Everything was so relaxed on the day itself, she was lovely with our baby, and he was so happy and slept well throughout. She had thought of everything – colours of clothes to bring, hot water bottles to warm things, it was really impressive. And the photos – well, I simply love them and can’t wait to put them up! They will be treasured for years to come – thank you again Sarah!”

Charlotte, newborn photography client from Oxford, Oxfordshire

“Sarah worked with us on a first birthday photoshoot. Neither me nor my husband particularly like having our photo taken, and our 15 month old daughter never stays still – so it’s almost impossible to get a good picture of the 3 of us normally. Sarah was such a pleasure to work with, she gave us plenty of guidance before the shoot and gave me a lot of advice about outfits for the day. On the day she was so great with Ava, made us all feel very welcome and comfortable in the studio and when we saw the final photos, just one week later – wow! It was actually quite emotional seeing them, Sarah did such a great job of capturing our personalities and the photos are also so natural which was very important to me. I’m sure we’ll be back for future photography, I’d recommend Sarah to anyone.”

Talitha, first birthday cake smash photoshoot client from Buckingham, Buckinghamshire

“This was our second newborn photoshoot with Sarah and we would not have chosen anyone else to capture these precious images. Sarah is so friendly and made us all feel at ease and enjoy our photoshoot experience. She quickly engaged our 2.5 year old and had him laughing in no time – incredibly Sarah had him smiling in every photograph – if only we could work the same magic at home! Sarah was so gentle and patient with our newborn and took the time to create the images we wanted. Sarah is a talented photographer, a natural with babies and children and creates beautiful, timeless images that preserve special memories of the newborn days that just fly by so quickly. We highly recommend Sarah and look forward to coming back for family milestone photoshoots in the future.”

Helen, newborn photography client from Witney, Oxfordshire

“Sarah provided us with not just the most beautiful pictures, but an experience we will never forget. Indeed our 2.5yr old still talks about Sarah, after spending only a couple of hours in her studio. My husband and daughter really don’t like having their photos taken but Sarah made it fun and tried to capture us as our natural selves – we much prefer the purity and honesty of pictures whereby we really are having fun. Sarah made this happen. Without a doubt we would recommend Sarah and appreciated all the effort she went to to make us feel special, happy and bring our shy little girl out of her shell so we can enjoy pictures of her and her baby sister forevermore.”

Lorette and Darren, newborn photography clients from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Had an amazing experience with Sarah, this was our first ever photoshoot and we’re really happy we chose Sarah for our newborn. Her place is very clean, tidy and organised, she is very friendly, relaxed and patient. We couldn’t have chosen better. Many thanks Sarah!”

Elena, newborn photography client from Banbury, Oxfordshire

“Let me first start by saying that I am the worlds tightest bloke, so when my wife informed me a baby photo shoot would be more than a tenner, I was naturally against it. On the other side of the experience, I couldn’t be more wrong. What an INCREDIBLE experience from such a professional, attentive lady. From the get go Sarah advised and gave plenty of information to make the day go smoothly. The night before the shoot, our son decided to allow us 1hr sleep so you can imagine how we felt in the morning. Sarah made us feel relaxed, even getting a few feeds, changes and milk pumps in during the session which kept little man (and us!) happy and relaxed. We set out to buy the silver package but when every shot of the 25 taken was complete magic, how can you pick your favourite 10?? Hence we went for the gold which we believe is incredible value for the service provided. We will definitely be back for the cake smash!!”

James, newborn photography client from Long Hanborough, Oxfordshire

“What can I say! Amazing! Sarah is so professional and friendly. My sister booked a maternity photo shoot for me as a gift and I’ve never done anything like it before. I needn’t have worried though as Sarah was so encouraging and professional the whole way through, she totally put me at ease. The photos also turned out so amazing and I can’t thank her enough for capturing such precious memories. We have a newborn shoot booked too which I’m so excited about! 10/10 recommend, Sarah is everything and more that you’d want in a photographer.”

Shannon, maternity photography client from Abingdon, Oxfordshire

“I was really nervous about having my photo taken but Sarah made me feel really comfortable. The photos she has taken are really lovely and it is something I will treasure forever. I would 100% recommend Sarah to anyone thinking about having their photos taken, especially for family events and occasions. Thank you so much!”

Chloe, maternity photography client from Brackley, Northamptonshire

“Thankyou Sarah for taking amazing photos of my little family of four. She was very professional, patient, and made my little ones smile through out the photoshoot. The photos came out beautiful and so clear. Thankyou once again.”

Kiren, family photography clients from Oxford

“I had the best experience with Sarah, doing a maternity photo shoot. I was honestly a bag of nerves, not a photogenic person at all! She made me so comfortable and confident, I honestly could not have asked for a better experience!! Looking forward to newborn photos in December.”

Abbie, maternity photography client from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire

“First smash cake ? Sarah is very professional photographer who meets all our expectations. The photo session was perfect because of her organization, experience and the tricks she has to make you smile ?. All we have received was more than we expected. Pictures looks clean and beautiful ? thank you ?.”

Piotr, first birthday cake smash photoshoot client from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire

“We finally got to meet Sarah for our family shoot having had to cancel several times due to Covid. From our first meeting with Sarah on a zoom meeting and then in person, I found her to be extremely helpful and easy to talk to, putting you at ease straight away . We appreciated the advice she gave us for our outfits too , helping make decisions easier. Sarah was very professional and never phased throughout the photo session, especially when having to interact with two unpredictable toddlers !! How she managed to produce the most brilliant photographs with so many distractions is amazing! ! The time spent during our photo shoot was really enjoyable in a very relaxed and happy atmosphere. Sarah is so passionate in her work which shows through in the quality of photographs, which we will always treasure. We would most certainly recommend Sarah and have no doubt you will also not be disappointed.”

The Downer family, family photography clients from Northamptonshire

“Highly recommend choosing Sarah to take photos of your newborn baby. From the initial consultation to the photo shoot itself, Sarah was professional and really friendly. We were all put at ease and our baby was really relaxed when having her photos taken. Baby appreciated the heated studio and was very cosy throughout, particularly when swaddled! The images we received are absolutely beautiful and a great investment. Looking forward to sharing the photos with friends and family.”

Michelle, newborn photography client from Kidlington, Oxfordshire

“We used Sarah for our newborn photography and we couldn’t be happier with the pictures she produced. We really wanted to capture the special, early days of our sons life but were apprehensive as we’re not naturals on camera – Sarah immediately made us feel at ease, her studio is super welcoming and we enjoyed every moment. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Sarah!”

Newborn photography client

“Our friend recommended Sarah after they had a really positive experience with their pregnancy photoshoot (one of the stunning photos won an award!). We wanted to capture our son during a sitter session, and get some respectable photographs as a family (we’re incredibly un-photogenic), so we booked. Sarah was quick and clear with her communication throughout. The pre-shoot chat was amazing as it gave us lots of hints and tips of how best to prepare for the shoot. On the day of the shoot itself, we were very nervous. Posing for photographs really is not our thing, but we really wanted to capture the precious moments with our son. I forgot half of our outfits so was very flummoxed but Sarah was super chilled and we just cracked on. She gave us really good direction, and was high energy which kept our little one going. She was also super patient when we needed to feed him/change clothes etc. We got the proofs the next day and we absolutely loved the photos. I had to ask Sarah how much they were photoshopped as we looked so good! I just wish we could do it all again.”

Pippa, sitter session client from Oxfordshire

“We have just received our newborn photos from Sarah and cannot express enough just how beautiful they are! Not only are we delighted with the end result but the whole experience of the shoot from start to finish was 10/10 , we were made to feel so comfortable and Sarah was amazing with our 2 week old daughter, the shoot was taken completely at our daughters pace and lead to the most beautiful photos! We cannot reccomend Sarah enough – Thank you so much! The Huffeys!”

Laura and Jade, newborn photography clients from Didcot, Oxfordshire

“Amazing photoshoot experience, Sarah is awesome and make you feel so relaxed and time flies. She capture the very heart of who you are in her photography. The images are both dynamic and beautiful. I had a great time at the photoshoot and within 24 I had my final images ready.”

Ayo, personal branding and business headshots client from Reading

Our entire experience with Sarah was incredible! She is extremely professional and made us feel so comfortable from our first phone call all the way through our photoshoot with our newborn! The pictures turned out so beautiful & are going to be so special to us forever. We will definitely be going back to Sarah for our future family pictures!

Mackenzie, newborn photography client from Abingdon, Oxfordshire

“I booked Sarah for a photo shoot with my daughter. We had previously had a family photo session a few years before which was quite stressful, and as a result we all looked quite awkward, so I was really drawn by Sarah’s relaxed approach. Sarah’s service was very professional from start to finish. We had a phone call before the shoot to get to know each other, and she send through a beautiful welcome pack with lots of helpful information to help make the day a success. She made the day really fun with lots of laughs, and as a result we have genuine smiles and great photos to keep. Highly recommend Sarah!”

Claire, Tween Photoshoot client from Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire

“Sarah was amazing from the beginning. She made sure to find out what would help my daughter feel comfortable during our photos and it’s the first photo shoot in 18 months that she hasn’t cried the whole time. Our maternity photos came out beautifully and I can’t wait for Sarah to do our newborn photos in a few weeks.”

Jessika, maternity photoshoot client from Buckingham, in Buckinghamshire

“From beginning to end, this has been a fantastic experience! Sarah Plater is a true professional. As a photographer, she immediately put my daughter at ease and took the time necessary with her to make her photoshoot enjoyable, individual and special. She made this look easy as she is a truly lovely person with an incredible amount of patience. Her communication with us was outstanding and her attention to detail has created top class photographs that we will treasure forever. How could we not have bought the lot?! They are quite simply stunning.”

Becky, teen photoshoot client from South Oxfordshire

“From the moment I saw Sarah’s gallery on her website two years ago, I knew I wanted her to photograph my little grandson. Once my family agreed, I booked a studio session with Sarah. Inevitably it was delayed a couple of times but Sarah supported us through these disappointments. Sarah makes you feel you are her only client. She is experienced & generous with her time and advice, preparing you so well for the special day, nothing is left to chance. When the studio day finally arrives and you meet Sarah, you feel comfortable as if you already know her. At the Studio I had total confidence that Sarah would capture those special, often fleeting moments with our very lively little toddler. My advice on the day would be: – don’t be afraid to take a break or two & give your little ones some refreshments. Above all trust Sarah, you may think – “I’m not going to look good in this pose”, but … surprise!! – you don’t look good you look fabulous. I am absolutely thrilled with our photographs. Time passes quickly & families change. My advice is: book Sarah for your special moments, you won’t regret it.”

Lynette, family photoshoot client from Faringdon, Oxfordshire

“Our newborn/sibling photography session with Sarah was simply fantastic! She truly is a 5 star plus rated photographer. Very professional, yet kind, relaxed and fun to spend the hours with. This was crucial having a toddler and a baby on the shoot. On searching for the best newborn photographers in Oxfordshire I came across Sarah and after our experience with her, we can boldly say that she deserves all the awards she has received and more. I had wanted my pregnancy shoot with her but in the ‘busyness of life’ I just didn’t ring her up for it. So when the baby arrived I asked my cousin to ring her up to book a session. My husband working abroad meant we had a very limited time window for the shoot and therefore required a few tweaks to accommodate us. She understood this peculiarity and offered some personalisation. From accepting our photoshoot request at such short notice to ensuring we had a very sleek and enjoyable photo session, to her aftercare… Sarah is very good at what she does, we love her natural style and the pictures are outstanding!”

Ngozi, newborn photography client from Oxford

“We decided for my wife’s 50th birthday to get Pictures of our children and grandchild. From the moment Sarah contacted me her attention to detail was spot on, talked me through plans and on the day she was so good with the kids and Little Alfie our grandchild. The reaction from my wife to these pictures was beyond belief, fantastic memories for us to cherish. If your thinking of using Sarah and not sure,my advice don’t have second thoughts!! do you won’t regret it. Thanks, Sarah.”

Terry, family photoshoot client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“As a new Mum I was anxious about how we would get through a photo shoot with an unpredictable baby. I needn’t have worried, Sarah is a pro and guided the session completely, put us at complete ease and if we needed to stop for a feed or nappy change, that’s what we did. Sarah was so patient with my little one and has a great ability to capture the exact kind of photos that you are after, I fully recommend! We had a great time during the shoot, she is lovely to work with and we are very pleased with the resulting pictures.”

Sarah, newborn photography client from Oxfordshire

“Amazing maternity shoot, I can’t wait for my new born shoot , looking forward to seeing photos.”

Cherelle, maternity photoshoot client from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire

“Sarah is a great photographer! Our session had to be rescheduled many times due to Covid 19 and Sarah always stayed in touch to arrange a dates that worked for our busy family. Once the shoot did happen Sarah made sure our everyone was relaxed and looking their best with her caring manner and games for the little ones. The results are photos that we will cherish forever!”

Jonathon, family photoshoot client from Wendlebury, Oxfordshire

“This was our first photoshoot ever and were a little nervous because our little one can be a bit grumpy at times. Sarah was absolutely amazing, made us feel at ease and made the whole experience extremely enjoyable and fun. She went at our pace and ensured we had time for feeding/changing etc. Prior to the photoshoot we had plenty of communication with Sarah to organise the session and make sure we were aligned on what we wanted to get out of it, including how to best prepare for the day. We felt very safe given the current pandemic, Sarah took all precautions and was great with our little boy, who hardly cried at all and seemed to enjoy being the centre of attention. There is a great online portal to review the images, and you can even send a link to friends/family to help you choose. We would highly recommend Sarah.”

Cristina, newborn photography client from Basingstoke, Hampshire

“We had a lovely time with Sarah and are delighted with the photos. I’m a photographer as well so know how hard it can be to capture my kids at their best! Sarah made us all feel so relaxed and I’ll treasure the images with me on the other side of the camera for once.”

Alice, newborn photography client from Witney, Oxfordshire

“I highly recommend Sarah’s photography, we are so happy with the outcome of the pictures of our 18 month old. Sarah is so professional from the initial booking to helping choose what to wear she gives you all the information you need to help you feel prepared and relaxed . She is very good at making you feel at ease in front of the camera and has produce the most wonderful pictures for us to decorate our home with and remember this special time having a lively toddler! Who might I add Sarah was fantastic with so patient and kind :)”

Anna, family photoshoot client from Oxford

“My Fiancé and I had a wonderful experience in Sarah’s studio, shooting my maternity images. Sarah made us feel comfortable and confident by getting us laughing and talking about us as a couple, with little games. We would highly recommend Sarah to any of our friends and family and are looking forward to have her take our newborn photos when our baby girl arrives.”

Amy, maternity photoshoot client from Wallingford, Oxfordshire

“We had such a wonderful experience with Sarah and she was very patient with us, this was our first family photo shoot my little boy had missed a morning nap so was a bit grouchy. Sarah was so great and told us that if we needed to take a break and let him nap then it would be absolutely fine and didn’t rush us throughout the whole shoot. My partner was so nervous about having his picture taken but Sarah made us feel so comfortable we completely forgot that she was taking our picture, it all felt so natural. We will definitely be going back for future family shoots and we can’t wait to receive our photos!!”

Tyisha, First Birthday Photoshoot client from Brackley, Northamptonshire

“Sarah was absolutely brilliant from beginning to end. Due to lockdowns and colds, we had to unfortunately reschedule a couple of times but Sarah was great in these times doing everything she could to get out photoshoot booked in. She provided so much help in preparation for it and on the day, she was fantastic from beginning to end. She engaged with my little ones as soon as she opened the door and gained their attentions so well. We got amazing photos and we can’t thank her enough.”

Lisa, family photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“I would like to thank Sarah for the most amazing pictures and experience, we can’t wait to go back!!!”

Katie, newborn photography client from Oxford

“Easily the best experience with a photographer to date! Sarah is super personable and very talented. She made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience and was truly patient with my 3 year old creating fun games along the way in order to create a memorable photoshoot. I am so glad that I stumbled across Sarah’s photography and I am so pleased with my session and final photographs, that I will continue to use her in the future. I simply cannot recommend her enough! I believe she has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and of course expressions.”

Rita, maternity photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Great experience having our photos taken, Sarah was welcoming and professional and put us all at ease, from the consultation all the way through to the photo shoot. She was very good with our 2 year old daughter who doesn’t normally like her photo taken and made things into a game to enagage her, and managed to get some amazing photos of her and as us a family. She also managed to get some great newborn photos of our not so newborn son, due to lockdown! I highly recommend Sarah and would come back to her again in the future for more photos.”

Fran, newborn photography client from Abingdon, Oxfordshire

“Amazing experience! Sarah did a great job capturing my vision for maternity shoot. She offered great ideas and even assisted with the color scheme and clothing items. She kept my three year old engaged and made my husband smile/laugh which is no easy feat. We felt relaxed the entire time and the pictures are absolutely gorgeous! I highly recommend her and we are looking forward to our newborn shoot with her!”

Tamisha, maternity photography client from Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire

“We had an amazing experience with Sarah from start to finish for our newborn photoshoot. The photos have captured amazing moments and are of an exceptional quality. I would highly recommend Sarah!”

Jade, newborn photography client from Fewcott, Oxfordshire

“Sarah worked very closely with us, through a tricky time during the pandemic. Our meetings had to be postponed numerous times, but when we eventually got together it was great. We were well prepared with regard to clothing combinations and the site at Evenley Wood gardens was beautiful. Sarah remembered little details from our initial meeting and was able to use these to coax smiles from the teenagers! I didn’t believe that would be possible. The photos are great and we had so many to choose from. It was lovely to have the dog in some of the photos, too. I’d highly recommend Sarah as a professional photographer.”

Nicky, family photography client from Lower Heyford, Oxfordshire

“Sarah has just created fresh images for our website and social media. They are absolutely beautiful and will totally transform the look of our company. It was such a pleasure to work with her. She is very professional and made it all so easy for me, even though I was unable to work with her in the studio due to lockdown. We used Whats app to check each shot and it worked like a dream. The results are stunning.”

Kym Y, product photography client from Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire

“Our experience with Sarah was brilliant. I’m not that comfortable with this type of thing but Sarah was not only professional, she was great at putting us all at ease. We had a pregnancy and subsequent newborn shoot that produced great photos that we were blown away by, and we had a great time whilst doing so. Sarah knows her craft very well and talked us through each shot and pose, whilst effortlessly encouraging us to take the best photos and tell her of our journey together. At the newborn shoot, Sarah had remembered us so well and helped us to build memories in our new experience as parents. These personal touches enabled us to feel confident and proud, plus she was better at encouraging our little one stay calm and relaxed through the shoot than us! Definitely recommended.”

Nicola, newborn photography client from Ambrosden, Oxfordshire

“We were so impressed with Sarah’s personal and warm approach. Our consultation prior to the shoot allowed Sarah to get to know us as a family and find out what we wanted from the photos. As soon as we walked in Sarah engaged with our little ones immediately and even managed to get some great smiles from our teething baby! We couldn’t be happier with the photos, thank you!”

Rosie & Mark, family photography clients from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Couldn’t be happier with the pictures Sarah had taken of my family! My twins are 15 weeks and I was worried as to whether we would get many good ones of them together as they can get quite cranky when they want sleep but she was very patient and able to entertain them! We will forever cherish these pictures.”

Amber, family photography client from Kidlington, Oxfordshire

“I’d been looking forward to a newborn photoshoot with my twins once they had finally entered this world, but lockdown soon changed all our plans. Sarah stayed in contact with me throughout; rearranging appointments through 2 lockdowns and ideas for shoots as the babies grew, advice on outfits for myself and my partner. Although we didn’t get the newborn shoot we’d hoped for, we did get amazing sitter photos!!! Sarah was amazing at the shoot, even allowing us to pop off and let one of the little ones have a nap in the car and come back when they got a little grumpy. She ensured we got everything we wanted out of the shoot and suggested many fun ideas! As such, we’ve ordered every single photo she selected for us – just hoping I have enough wall space! Will be booking back again with Sarah in the future as the twins grow. Thanks so much Sarah, we had a great time and the results were so pleasing!!”

Lauren, sitter session client from Brackley Hatch, Northamptonshire

“The ‘Mother and Daughter’ photoshoot we have had with Sarah a few weeks ago it was amazing! Sarah made everything so easy and playful. Me and my daughter we have had such a great time, feeling relaxed throughout the entire session. Sarah is such a natural and energetic professional made sure we feeling comfortable and well entertained. Thank you for our lovely experience!”

Elly, makeover photoshoot client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We had a wonderful morning with Sarah and she was very patient with all 5 of us. She really does know how to get the best out of small children on the day. We are delighted with the photographs and Sarah has a real talent. It was our first time as a family trying something like this and Sarah gave really great advice beforehand including tips on what to wear and how to approach the photo shoot with small children. Thanks, Sarah!”

Catherine, family photography client from Kidlington, Oxfordshire

“We booked Sarah for a newborn shoot but the results were so much more than that. Sarah ensured that we had some beautiful family shots, as well as priceless shots with our 4 year old and newborn. Sarah was super interactive with our 4 year old and made the whole process fun for him. I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah, a very talented photographer and lovely person to work with.”

Pippa, newborn photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We had a newborn photo shoot with our baby who was 3 weeks old. The whole experience was very relaxed and enjoyable with Sarah who was so lovely. We couldn’t choose out of the pictures as they were all stunning so we brought all of them!”

Vicki, newborn photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We had a lovely session with Sarah which my husband and I both agreed, was great fun! Both not being people who enjoy being in front of the camera, we couldn’t believe how comfortable and relaxed we felt during our session. Sarah is very professional but also very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for her, even accommodating feeding breaks for our 7 month old daughter. We really couldn’t have found a better photographer to celebrate the birth of our lovely little rainbow baby girl. Our pictures are more beautiful than we imagined and we thank Sarah from the bottom of our hearts for capturing a time in our lives that we never thought would happen.”

Sonya, sitter session client from Oxfordshire

“Incredibly friendly, very responsive, and the photos were just what I was looking for.”

Tali, professional headshot client from Brackley, Northamptonshire

“My experience with Sarah was great! As the other reviews say, she really has the ability to put you at ease and is great with babies. And the photos are beautiful.”

MT, newborn photography client from Oxfordshire

“I had a lovely morning with Sarah and her colleague Holly. It was an extremely positive experience and I love the photos. They are exactly what I needed for publicity.”

Gillian, professional headshot client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah made me feel at ease straight away. It’s a bit daunting going with a new born baby to a photoshoot. You pray your baby doesnt cry (my baby did), doesn’t soil their nappy (my baby did) or decide that they dont want to play along with the photo shoot (my baby did this aswell). However because of Sarah’s professionalism and obvious experience she was able to handle all of this and still capture some truly amazing photos. Post baby the last thing any mum wants to do is a take a photo of themselves… however the images she captured didn’t make me feel like the slightly over weight tired mum that I thought I looked like! I woud highly recommend Sarah. Added bonus that her studio was super sterile and she took all precautions needed in regards to COVID. I am more than likely going to use Sarah again.”

Karlene, newborn photography client from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire

“We did a maternity photoshoot with Sarah, which was something I’ve been debating whether to do it or not for a long time because it’s something completely out of our comfort zone. Now I am SO glad I did it and I am so thankful that we have found Sarah! She made everything so personal, of our taste, the session was a lot of fun, very romantic and relaxed. Sarah made us feel very comfortable, almost like she was a long family friend and not someone we have just met! The pictures were stunning – very hard to shortlist them though – and I am so happy with the result! I would recommend her a million times and can’t wait to see her again to do a session with the baby 🙂 Thank you Sarah for making this day so special and helping us to register this special moment of our lives in the best way possible.”

Beatriz, maternity photography client from Kidlington, Oxfordshire

“Sarah was a pleasure to work with. She was friendly, well-organised, and responsive, and turned around my pictures extremely quickly. I would recommend her to anyone looking for professional photography services.”

Lindsey, business headshot client from Abingdon, Oxfordshire

“We decided last minute to have professional photos for our newborn baby boy. We were lucky enough to get a cancellation slot with Sarah, which we were so grateful for and over the moon that we could get our little one photographed when he is still so new.

Sarah informed me what to bring for the shoot and made it very clear as to what can be expected etc, as we have never had a professional photo shoot before.

Sarah is an absolutely fantastic photographer and provides an extremely professional service. She was very friendly and made us feel very welcomed and relaxed. Sarah was very patient in order to capture the most perfect photos of our new born baby.

We are so impressed with our photos and the quality is amazing. We will definitely be booking in for George’s 1 year birthday and the cake smash!”

Amie, newborn photography client from Ambrosden, Oxfordshire

“Working with Sarah on some professional head shots was a great experience. A professional service making it easy from booking to choosing and receiving my finished photos. Sarah suggested and delivered a number of imaginative photographic styles that I would not have initially imagined.”

Will, business headshot client from Oxfordshire

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Sarah. The session was a lot of fun, I felt relaxed and that is the look I wanted to achieve and I simply love the results!”

Andrew, business headshot client from Ambrosden, Oxfordshire

“High quality experience! Sarah exuded the upmost degree of professionalism from the initial booking, to the planning and guidance, and throughout the photo-shoot in her comfortably accommodating studio. Sarah’s expertise was repeatedly apparent in her recommendations of colour palate and poses. The final images were truly works of art! I was fearful that my one-year old had been too moody and squirmy to capture good photos, but I was wrong! Sarah knew how to negotiate the little one’s mood and capture great shots of my baby and family. The packages were a bit expensive, but “you get what you pay for”, and what I got was GREAT images of my family that I can cherish for a lifetime!!”

Brandi, First Birthday & Cake Smash Photoshoot client from Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire

“My husband and I recently had a maternity photoshoot with Sarah and I would highly recommend to any expectant parents. Sarah’s attention to detail is fantastic – I had sent some photos through beforehand and Sarah took the time to make sure we replicated the images as best as possible – including a shoot outside. Sarah made us both feel at ease as soon as we got there, she always responds quickly to any questions, and to top it all off we have some gorgeous photos to cherish for many years to come. Now we can’t wait for our newborn shoot next month!”

Caroline, maternity photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We had a bump-to-baby photoshoot with Sarah. The whole experience was excellent and the photos are amazing! We loved the attention to detail and the atmosphere in the studio, putting everyone totally at ease. That really shows in the pictures. Sarah even did a diaper change mid-shoot and there was no rush when baby needed feeding, so as new parents were able to relax as well. We could not recommend her highly enough!”

Stephan, newborn and maternity photoshoot client from Oxford

“Our whole experience from start to finish was an absolute dream. From attentive emails to helpful little texts, Sarah went above and beyond to make sure she fulfilled our vision for our photo shoot and provided our perfect once in a life time memories. Sarah is kind, accommodating and will make you feel like a million pounds. If you’re lacking in a little confidence, Sarah will give you the boost you need to not be anxious in front of the camera. As well as being kind and accommodating, Sarah was also gentle, calm and so very patient with our baby girl. Lots of cuddles, soothing techniques and the harmonious environment helped get the cutest pictures that have melted the hearts of many! Sarah really took the time to get to know us and tailored our shoot to incorporate personal touches so that our images suited us as a family. Thank you Sarah, we are over the moon with our gorgeous pictures!”

Gemma, newborn photography client from Ambrosden, Oxfordshire

“We had a great time doing a newborn-ish photoshoot of our little girl with Sarah. Sarah is really lovely, and very talented – we got exactly the kind of photos we wanted to mark this special time in our lives, she really captured the love we have for our little family. I would 100% recommend going to Sarah for photos of your little one, it was great fun and so relaxed.”

Jade, newborn photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah is really kind and funny. The sessions are really fun and she really makes an effort to make you laugh and feel confortable. This is reflected on the final photos which are really great and brings a smile to your face when looking at them. I would definitely recommend her.”

Monica, maternity photography client from Oxfordshire

“Sarah was very professional and the photo’s that she took, were much better than I had ever hoped for. I’m a very pleased client.”

Justin, business headshots client from Oxfordshire

“Having had a recent photo shoot with Sarah since she restarted up after lockdown I can thoroughly recommend her services. She had clearly thought the whole process through and worked hard to make it as safe as possible. The experience was however still friendly, relaxing and had a very enjoyable feel to it. On top of that the photos from the shoot were just beautiful! Thank you Sarah!”

Louise, children’s photoshoot client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“I was worried I’d miss out on these precious moments with the pandemic. I had done a bump to baby photoshoot for my first and really wanted the same for this little one. We chose Sarah this time as we had a bad experience with the one we had used before. Sarahs reviews & pics were amazing. She didn’t disappoint! I felt completely safe, she went above and beyond to ensure all safety precautions were met. A very warm, friendly and professional lady who got the most perfect pics of me and my bump. Coming from a lady who’s had extremely low self esteem this time around. Can’t thank her enough! Very much looking forward to the baby & family pics.”

Hayley, maternity photography client from Oxfordshire

“Sarah is simply fantastic. I usually dread having my photo taken as I always feel extremely self conscious. But with Sarah I know I can trust her to capture more than just the superficial – her photos encapsulate such joy and emotion, becoming art that we will always treasure. We are very much looking forward to more photo shoots with Sarah in future!”

Rhona, children’s photoshoot client from Ducklington, Oxfordshire

“Fantastic day of photoshoots with our new baby and immediate family! Sarah understood exactly what we were looking for and she also accommodated lots of individual photos at our own request. Highly recommended!”

Chris & Denise, newborn photography clients from Oxfordshire

“Sarah was wonderful for our newborn photo shoot, she had all the time, patience and experience to handle our tiny escape artist whilst being swaddled! Sarah has captured beautiful moments of our daughter, that we will cherish for the years to come.”

Nick & Jess, newborn photography clients from Oxfordshire

“Neither I nor my husband are keen on having our photo taken. This means we very rarely get photos of ourselves, but having a baby seemed like an event to record. Being totally honest, we were a bit nervous that the shoots would be awkward or we’d be asked to do things we weren’t comfortable with. However, both the maternity and baby shoots were incredibly enjoyable. The baby shoot actually felt like a break because Sarah looked after our baby for the hours we were there – swaddling her and even changing nappies – and then made us cups of tea and ironed my T-shirt for me because I’d run out of time to iron it at home! We are thrilled with the photos and are looking forward to putting them up at home and sharing them with friends and family. Thank you Sarah!”

Katie, newborn photography client from Oxfordshire

“Sarah was so professional all the way through our interactions. Right from my initial enquiries about booking, through to putting up the blog and sending us the finished pictures, every detail has been considered and I’ve felt kept informed and treated kindly throughout. The day itself was lovely. I was feeling a bit wobbly about having pictures taken so soon after giving birth and with so little sleep, but Sarah was great. I was also still trying to establish feeding and Sarah did her best to give me some privacy and entertain my son while I fed the baby. Very helpful! Her cookies were amazing too and she didn’t even mind my bonkers three year old calling her Steve all day.”

Louise, newborn photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We had a wonderful family photoshoot with Sarah a few weeks ago, and today viewed the fabulous shots she took. I’m not a huge fan of having my photograph taken but Sarah made us all feel very comfortable and was brilliant with the two little ones! I would highly recommend her, and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Melanie, family photography client from Kidlington, Oxfordshire

“We had our photos taken as a family including 2 small children (one 8 month old & one 3 year old) & the photos turned out absolutely amazing! Sarah entertained the children so much that they were smiling in all photos! She was very welcoming, accommodating & the outcome of the photos couldn’t be any better. It was a lovely experience & I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for beautiful pictures☺️.”

Abbie, family photography client from Kidlington, Oxfordshire

“We cannot recommend Sarah enough for her beautiful photography!! The whole process was very straight forward and Sarah was accommodating when things didn’t quite go to plan with dates and our shoot needed rescheduling. This is our first time doing something like this and my husband and I are not particularly comfortable in photos but Sarah made us feel very at ease and the photos show exactly that. Sarah was very patient and gentle with our newborn and is clearly a pro at dealing with accidents on set!! Thank you Sarah for helping us to document a precious moment in our lives ?”

Amy, newborn photography client from Oxfordshire

“We had such a lovely time having our photos done by Sarah. She was very professional from start to finish and made us very relaxed and comfortable! Sarah spent a lot of time communicating with us to check that she got every little detail right. The photos were absolutely amazing and it was very hard to choose the ones we wanted as we loved them all! It was great that Sarah came out to us to show us the photos and she was happy for all the family to be there too as we got to share the experience with them all and we had a lovely evening 🙂 Thank you again Sarah, you were brilliant!”

Nikki, newborn photography client from Abingdon, Oxfordshire

“We have just received our photos from our shoot with Sarah. I cannot begin to tell you how happy and delighted we are with our photos!!! But I am not surprised they are as good as they are because the whole experience with Sarah was so professional. From start to finish you makes you feel like you have known her for ages. During the shoot she makes you feel so comfortable and caters for your every need. I also love the fact she is so keen to find out about you to make your experience all that more special. I can see why she has won so many awards and I would highly recommend her.”

Mark, newborn photography client from Chinnor, Oxfordshire

“Thank you Sarah for an amazing experience and so many amazing photos of our beautiful baby girl. The whole process was very professional from the booking to the consultation before the shoot. Sarah was brilliant on the day and everything ran smoothly. The photo reveal was very emotional as the photos were SO good and we just couldn’t decide on the best ones so have ordered them all :). Thank you again Sarah for capturing such a special time in our lives.”

Lisa, newborn photography client from Oxford, Oxfordshire

“Sarah is amazing and so is her work! This was my first photo shoot and she made me feel absolutely comfortable! She had great communication and was extremely accommodating to help me meet a deadline. Sarah created a variety of lovely, high quality photos for me to choose from. I am very satisfied with her services and appreciated her warm personality!”

Michelle, corporate headshots client from Adderbury, Oxfordshire

“Sarah is an incredible photographer. She is great fun and managed a party of 5 teenage girls effortlessly. The teenage makeover and photo shoot will be fondly remembered by all the girls and the photographs were just gorgeous. We would not hesitate in recommending Sarah to any of our friends and family in the future, with the confidence that her work will be beyond your expectations. We are looking forward to having our second photoshoot in the very near future. A great big thank you from all of us! :)”

Chelsea, first birthday photography shoot client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“‘The Baby Whisperer’ – Sarah was so good with our 7-Day-Old Baby Boy! It was a long day for him but she was so patient and we had plenty of time to feed and change him when we needed to. She handled him with the greatest care and made us feel completely at ease. The pictures were available to view nice and quickly and are absolutely beautiful! We’re so pleased that Sarah managed to capture exactly what we were looking for from our newborn shoot. Simple, classy, timeless images. I would definitely recommend ‘Sarah Plater Photography’ to my friends and family.”

Jen, Newborn photography & family photography client from Northamptonshire

“We got Sarah to do our daughters first birthday photos and cake smash and it was an absolute pleasure. She made such an effort to find out things about us all before hand, as well any favourite toys etc that Belle liked to make the whole experience so much easier for us. Her studios are lovely and she made us feel at ease straight away with keeping our daughter entertained in between all the different shoots and outfit changes. The photos are absolutely stunning and have captured memories that will last a life time. I would definitely go back to Sarah again and would certainly recommend her to anyone.”

Lauren, first birthday photography shoot client from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire

“On the day of our newborn photo shoot, Sarah was extremely professional and made us feel at ease straight away. Throughout the shoot, our son would need attending to for feeding, changing, cuddles etc. and Sarah insisted on attending to his every need so that we could sit back and relax (something that rarely occurs as new parents!). We were so impressed with how natural Sarah was with our son and how she was able to keep him content enough to take photos, in between all the outfit changes! We had such a wonderful day thanks to Sarah’s calm and professional manner.”

Lydia, Newborn photography & family photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“I cannot recommend Sarah enough, her photos of our little boy are truly beautiful, she was absolutely amazing with him and the photos are evidence of this. She is also really good at getting the best from you too ( I’m not great with having my photo taken) it all felt very natural and we had a lovely day with our little boy.”

Holly, Sitter Session (6-8 months’ old) client from Collier Row, Essex

Clarisse, Newborn photography & family photography client from Oxford, Oxfordshire

“Sarah is great! From the initial emails to the photoshoot itself she was professional, friendly and lovely. She was absolutely brilliant with our newborn and we got the most perfect pictures. When I started looking for a newborn photographer I came across Sarah and knew straight away that her style was for us. She put us at ease on the day and the communication has been fantastic from start to finish! We would strongly reccomend Sarah to anyone wanting the most adorable shots of their newborn! Thank you again Sarah and we hope we get the opportunity to be photographed by you again in the future!”

Roberta, Newborn photography & family photography client from Witney, Oxfordshire

“From the initial consultation through to the end results Sarah was brilliant. She is clearly very passionate about getting all the right pics that we wanted on the initial brief, her studio in her home is incredible, (the coffee and cookies were very well received!) … Communication is brilliant and the results surpassed our expectations there was even a decent pic of me which I can assure you is no easy task!… i would have no hesitation recommending Sarah, its clear how she has won so many awards. Thanks for everything Sarah!”

Craig, Sitter Session (6-8 months’ old) client from Thame, Oxfordshire

Laura, Newborn photography & family photography client from Oxfordshire

“I would highly recommend Sarah to any family seeking to capture some special pictures. We had a newborn photoshoot when our baby was 2 weeks old. I was worried about getting out the house and being presentable. However I needn’t of been concerned as Sarah was so welcoming and put us at ease. We really benefited from taking time out of the relentlessness of the early days to focus on being a family for a few hours. Sarah was great with our baby so we could take time to relax and drink some lovely tea and coffee. We are absolutely thrilled with the photos which we will cherish as Sarah has managed to capture the love surrounding our baby as well the little character which was already emerging. Our wider family are thrilled with them too!”

Camilla, Newborn Photography Client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“I had a great time that day in your studio and I’m totally, completely, WONDERFULLY amazed at the photographs you captured. They are wonderful. Many thanks. You are a terrifically talented artist.??”

Simona, Product Photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah is absolute amazing! We had a fantastic experience with her. Because of the long hospital stay, it was not convenient for us to travel. Sarah visited us in very short notice. During the session, our little one kept asking for food, Sarah was very patient with our little one. Highly recommended!”

Joe, Newborn Photography Client from Oxford, Oxfordshire

“Fantastic experience and recommend everytime. Sarah captured the shots we wanted effortlessly. She has been part of our family journey from bump shoot and baby shoot and this time she captured our baby at a year old. She makes the experience so much fun.”

Michael, first birthday photography shoot client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We were gifted a family photo shoot with Sarah from close friends, we decided to use it to celebrate our sons first birthday. From the very first contact Sarah was a real pleasure to deal with, so thoughtful, professional and kind. She gave us lots of advice as to how to get the most out of the photoshoot as well as offering comforting words to myself (feeling not so body confident after having a baby!). When we arrived she was so welcoming and really made us feel at ease and spoilt with refreshments. She was great with my son and extremely patient not pressuring us into getting the shoot done in a set time, she just worked with what my son was happy to do. We received our proofs the following week and were blown away with how fantastic they were, in fact I can’t stop looking at them! We cannot recommend Sarah enough, she’s a real talent!”

Emma, Family Photography client from Cambridge

“My sister got some photos of her newborn here, Sarah was very welcoming and friendly. great with children. made it a really personal experience. no pressure in buying everything. and was really helpful when going through the photos. her photos were great absolutely would recommend for anyone wanting newborn photos.”

Emily, sister of a Newborn Photography Client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Taking professional pictures of young children and babies is not a challenge for the faint hearted. Throw in a slightly drizzly day, attempting to get some nice family pictures with kids who don’t normally like to pose, and you have to have the patience of a saint. Thankfully not only does Sarah have this in spades, her ability to engage with small people to make the process fun, and generate very natural poses with and without the grown-ups is incredible. It also helps that she’s also a genuinely lovely person! The result is some amazing, professional, high quality family portraits we’re delighted with, and which we’ll be able to treasure.”

Matt, Family Photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“There are not enough words to describe how incredible Sarah is as a person & especially photographer. I recently had a shoot done with Sarah on location at Stowe Gardens with my cavalier king Charles, Olly. I met with Sarah for a pre-shoot to discuss expectations, ideas & an overall outlook which I think is fab so I had an idea for what to expect for the day, was given a welcome pack which explains so much & found this really helpful. The day itself was amazing and everything I wanted for an autumn photoshoot. The way Sarah works is great, she made me feel super comfortable, worked so well with Olly & trying so many options for the best shot! The photos from my shoot are STUNNING, Sarah captured my vision which shows to me what an amazing photographer she truly is. I would recommend Sarah Plater Photography 100%, photo’s are memories forever and Sarah will give you that.”

Laura, Dog Photography Client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“I have had a few photographers capture memories of my little family, but nothing has come close to the experience we have had with Sarah. From day one it has been thoughtful and personal. Her work is out of this world, the detail she captures is incredible! Thank you Sarah!”

Sam, Newborn Photography Client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Our new born photography experience with Sarah Plater was exactly that! An experience. We received a detailed and well put together information pack one we booked our session which gave great confidence that we were dealing with a professional who clearly thinks of every detail. On the day, Sarah made us feel very comfortable and provided us with refreshments throughout the session. She even changed our baby’s nappies!!!!! For that I should have paid double!! Sarah’s creative approach was a joy to watch as her gentleness with our baby was again very reassuring. We left the session very happy and even talked about returning once our son is a little older. The finished photos were absolutely stunning and it’s clear to see why Sarah Plater has so many awards for her work. If you are looking for an award winning experience instead of just a photo shoot, I highly recommend Sarah Plater.”

James, Newborn Photography Client from Stanford-le-Hope, Essex

“We had a family photo shoot with Sarah. From the initial planning to the final pictures, Sarah was excellent. We were really keen to get a picture of the whole family all looking and smiling. With three children aged newborn to 3 years who initially were not interested in having their pictures taken and then it started raining (we had a shoot outside), we didn’t expect to achieve this. Despite this, Sarah was very patient, friendly and professional. She also had a few games and tricks to entertain and engage the children. After, Sarah emailed a slideshow of the final pictures with a beautiful soundtrack. We were thoroughly delighted and a little emotional with the results. We highly recommend Sarah; thank you Sarah.”

Charlotte, Family photography client from Hampshire

“Wow what can I say ! Sarah was extremely patient with our little ones and was so professional throughout the entire shoot. She made us all feel so welcome and at ease! The photos have exceeded my expectations. Sarah really has captured such a special time in our little ones live! Cannot recommend enough!”

Nevena, Family photography client from Oxford, Oxfordshire

“Sarah is fantastic! I did a lot of research to find a photographer to take new family photos following the arrival of daughter no. 2 and upon viewing her gallery and reading other reviews I decided upon using Sarah. I’m so glad I did. The entire experience was brilliant – friendly, relaxed and professional from the outset. She made sure she knew what we wanted so she could tailor the shoot accordingly. She knows exactly how to capture those precious moments and does so in a calm and controlled manner. She was so good with my two year old who doesn’t like sitting still for photos, but Sarah engaged with her and made the experience fun. Her entire approach is spot on ensuring a pleasent and stress-free time. The results of the shoot were outstanding. I am beyond pleased with all of the images especially ones of the two girls together. I would not hesitate to recommend her! Thank you Sarah!”

Alex, Newborn Client from Chinnor, Oxfordshire

“I don’t think we could have found anybody better than Sarah to capture so many special moments for us… Each photo represents a magical and memorable snapshot in time for us, that is filled full of emotion and love. Starting with our maternity shoot, through to Amaira’s baby shoot, Sarah’s attention to detail and calm demeanour, made the entire process fun and enjoyable. Not only that, she’s a natural when working with babies too. We are so pleased with the results, it’s very difficult to put into words, just how much we love to endorse Sarah. She’s just brilliant! Thank you so much!”

Sanj, Newborn Client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah was great with our little one, the pictures were fantastic and we could hardly choose. A special memory for a special time that will last forever. Highly recommend.”

Joe, Newborn Client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah is a lovely person. She helped me prepare for my photo shoot in advance (there’s a lot to think about!) and welcomed me to it with enthusiasm. I relaxed very quickly and had a lot of fun – I can’t believe how fast the time went. It goes without saying Sarah is a brilliant photographer, and I am delighted with the results.”

Vikki, corporate headshots client from Buckingham, Buckinghamshire

“We had a family photo shoot with Sarah and she was so fantastic. Our 1 year old daughter did not want to sit for the photos but Sarah was so patient and had so many ideas to entertain her and get just the right shot. The whole process was relaxed and fun. Consequently our finished photos are outstanding – we love them! We would recommend Sarah to anyone.”

Mark, first birthday photography shoot client from Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire

“Sarah photographed my 13 day old son and she was brilliant! , very professional and made us all comfortable especially my son who hardly made a peep :). The photos she took are just gorgeous that I just had to buy all of them! I would highly recommend Sarah if you want fab shots. I was also very impressed with Sarah’s efficiency in regards to setting up the photo shoot and implementing the types of shots we wanted, but also managing to get some nice pictures of us adults …. with direction from Sarah of course!”

Sarah, Newborn Photography Client from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire

“Had a photo shoot done of my pony Malibu with Sarah last week and I cannot thank her enough for all the time and effort she has put in to make it happen for me. I haven’t yet received my pictures but I can already tell that I’m going to very pleased with them! Sarah knew exactly what I wanted and was so professional and friendly! I would 100% recommend her. Thankyou Sarah! xx”

Rebecca, Equine (horse) photography client from Woodstock, Oxfordshire

“Sarah is an extremely talented photographer. I booked her to take some business headshots and to shoot a promotional video for my online business. Her consummate professionalism coupled with her down-to-earth and reassuring attitude resulted in a set of immensely flattering photos (even if I say so myself!) and an absolutely outstanding video. I look forward to working with Sarah again although next time to take some photos of my family. I really can’t recommend Sarah highly enough!”

Coriden, corporate headshots client from Oxfordshire

“Right from the onset of first contact we have received a very personal level of costumer care that did range from organising the photo shoot and the reveal via a consultation at our own home. Sarah even ensured she had pre-organised our chosen drinks at our arrival at the studio. The photo shoot was organised and delivered in a structured way post Sarah advising us on our outfit preferences in between the initial consultation. Photographing our 3 children under five years old (including a 6 week old baby) filled me with ideas of chaos however Sarah displayed a extremelly skilled attitude and knowledge during the session. She used children’s games to achieve the required reactions from the kids to get that perfect shot of the kids-something that Sarah made it look easy through her calm and patient plan.”

Lucia, Family photography client in Bicester, Oxfordshire

“I asked Sarah to provide photographs for use on my business website and printed material. Sarah responded to my request promptly and her whole approach was professional and friendly. The resulting images have been positively received by all who have seen them and I have already recommended her to colleagues.”

Ian, commercial headshots client from Oxfordshire

“We booked Sarah to take photographs of our newborn son and she did not disappoint. Her studio is super cozy and relaxed. Sarah is so patient and calm, that our son was very comfortable with her and in return, we got some great shots. The whole experience was lovely and I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah as a photographer.”

Fran, Newborn Photography Client from Banbury, Oxfordshire

“We had a newborn photoshoot with Sarah. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel extremely welcome. Sarah was fantastic at putting us all at ease and looking after our month old son. She has captured some beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”

Gabby, Newborn Photography Client from Swindon, Wiltshire

“From start to finish, Sarah was so warm and welcoming, nothing but smiles. Her passion for her photography really shone throughout the session and she captured the most timeless pictures of my 10 day old baby girl. Pictures that we will cherish for a lifetime. Definitely recommended to all my friends and family! Thank you Sarah x”

Molly, Newborn Photography Client from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire

“We are so grateful to Sarah for such a fabulous experience with our newborn photo shoot! She made us all feel so comfortable and treated our little girl with such care and attention. Her studio was a lovely, welcoming environment and we felt very at ease with her. We are so pleased with the beautiful images she created and would highly recommend her for anyone considering a photo shoot for their newborn. You won’t regret it!!”

Sarah, Newborn Photography Client from near Thame, Oxfordshire

“Sarah is a fantastic photographer and we would highly recommend her. Whilst it is clear to see her talent from her photos, she is also amazing behind the camera. She is professional, slick and experienced. Trying to capture the perfect moment with three children including a baby is no simple task, however Sarah is able to do this with ease. It’s no surprise she achieves amazing results.”

Roz, Newborn Photography Client from Ambrosden, Oxfordshire

“Sarah did some professional photos for me that I wanted to use for work, and I was really pleased. Being in front of a camera is pretty uncomfortable for me, but Sarah knew exactly how to put me at ease and I totally enjoyed my shoot! I’ve always been awkward in pictures but she never once made me feel like this was a problem – I really did feel as though I was in safe hands.”

Lyndsay, commercial headshots client from Oxfordshire

“Sarah was absolutely fantastic. The whole process was relaxed and easy. Before the studio session we had a video chat with Sarah, I also shared with her the props I wanted to use and the photos from her portfolio that I liked. Sarah’s studio is lovely and comfortable, we had both sets of grandparents with us, a few of which were not keen on photos, but Sarah made us all feel at home. We all enjoyed the session and she got the best out of us! Sarah is a total baby whisperer, and managed to keep our baby relaxed and posed the way she needed. We were so impressed and also learnt a few handy baby calming tricks from her as well! I asked Sarah to include an extra pose on the day and she managed it seamlessly. Little accidents did happen but Sarah was fab and sorted these out effortlessly! We even got some tips on how to get stains out..! The viewing session was lovely, I loved every single photo Sarah showed and went for the full digital collection, as there was no way I could narrow it down. I would strongly recommend the new born photo shoot for a lovely day with your baby and ending up with some priceless photos as well. Sarah is a lovely person, skilled photographer, and with her attention to detail you are bound to get amazing results.”

Fredel, Newborn Photography Client from Thame, Buckinghamshire

“My husband and I had a ‘Bump’ pregnancy photoshoot with Sarah a few weeks ago and we are so glad we did!! Sarah was amazing with us and made us feel at ease the whole way through, considering we had never done anything like this before we couldn’t believe how comfortable Sarah made us feel throughout. She knew exactly how to get us to smile so it was natural in the photos, and knew the perfect ways to get beautiful photos. Sarah sent me everything we needed to know before hand and tips of what to wear etc, not only that but what we liked to drink and had refreshments of exactly that, waiting for us on our arrival. I’m so glad we found Sarah for our photoshoot, and now we have beautiful memories of our pregnancy to put up on the wall. I can’t wait to have our newborn photoshoot done in August when our baby boy arrives!!  Thank you so much Sarah, you are amazing at what you do!! Highly recommended :)”
Toni and Marc, Maternity Photography clients from Wootton, Oxfordshire

“Sarah works some serious magic with her photography. She puts everyone at complete ease and effortlessly gets the kids to listen and do things that every parent dreams of! All whilst capturing some wonderful moments. Thank you!”

Claire, family photography client from Adderbury, Oxfordshire

“What a professional and friendly service from the moment of first contact right through to the end of the process. Sarah contacted me via email after I had filled out my loyalty card for my dog at bubble bark groomers. We then arranged a video chat about the sort of shoot I would like for my dog Bailey. Sarah also asked me about bailey and her likes and dislikes. On the morning of the shoot Sarah arrived for a walk through some local fields, Sarah was very friendly and patient and really got the best out of Bailey. We really enjoyed our morning. Sarah then arranged a presentation of the photos which was done beautifully and you can really see Sarah’s talent in all the photos that she captured of Bailey. I would highly recommend Sarah and will definitely use Sarah in the future for any pictures we may want to have. Thank you Sarah, you’re the best :-)”

Emily, Dog Photography Client from Launton, near Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We booked in with Sarah for a newborn photo shoot for our 8 day old daughter and we could not be more pleased with the photos. Sarah has such an amazing eye and really is very talented! Sarah made us all feel so relaxed throughout the photo shoot and even went as far as making sure she knew what we drank beforehand so it was ready for when we arrived. We were well taken care of! The photos will be cherished for many many years to come and we will definitely be wanting Sarah to capture future occasions for us. Would highly recommend to all.”

Helen, Newborn Photography Client from Abingdon, Oxfordshire

“We loved our family photoshoot with Sarah. It was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and the pictures Sarah created are amazing. Sarah was excellent with our four month baby boy (Musa). Sarah didn’t take any shot/pose that Musa wasn’t comfortable with. Overall experience brilliant, 10/10 and AMAZING!!”

Samarah, Sitter Session (6-8 months’ old) client family photography client from Banbury, Oxfordshire

“We had a fantastic experience with Sarah for our newborn and family shoot. She made us feel very relaxed and also did a great job engaging with the children and keeping us all calm. How she managed to get them all looking so angelic is a miracle! The photos Sarah took came out even better than we had ever expected and we can’t wait to have them hanging on the wall! We really enjoyed our session and we are already planning the next family session when the newborn baby is toddling. Thanks Sarah for the fab photos and a great experience.”

James, Newborn Photography Client from Stokenchurch, Buckinghamshire

“Sarah absolutely done amazing with my newborn twins! She fitted us in last minute and gave all her time and attention to the twins in our time with her. And the pictures were beyond beautiful and eye capturing. We can’t wait to see what she does with their 6 month pictures with their siblings! Thank you so much.”

Natasha, Newborn Photography Client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“What a great experience sums up my thoughts. We had our dogs Barney and Lottie photographed by Sarah and what a fantastic job. From the moment we walked In The door Sarah was great and got on brilliantly with the dogs. She talked us through the whole process and felt like we had known her for ages. We loved the personnel touch where Sarah came to our house and went through the finished pictures, and wow, such good photos of the dogs which we will treasure forever. Fully recommend Sarah if you are looking for great pictures can’t say enough great things about the whole process.”

Karl, Dog Photography Client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We visited Sarah’s home studio for a newborn shoot with our 4-week-old and she honestly couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly. Made us feel totally at ease and got some fabulous shots as a result. She takes the time to set up the perfect shots, which isn’t easy with a newborn! After service is quick and efficient and we were thrilled with our lovely set of photos. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back to her :-).”

Victoria, Newborn Photography Client from Port Talbot, Wales

“We loved our photo shoot with Sarah, pictures are amazing! Lovely relaxed atmosphere & customer service was brilliant! Definitely recommend her!”

Hannah, Newborn Photography Client from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire

“Top class experience only matched by the pictures she captures. There are a large number of photographers around and as my wife and I just had our first born child we wanted to capture some pictures of this life changing event. No other photographers work looked as good as Sarah’s and we are so glad we chose her. Avery (my son) was well looked by Sarah, the studio was kept to a good temperature and was constantly asked for our input and if we were alright.”

Matt, Newborn Photography Client from Romford, Essex

“Well I dont actually know where to start! Sarah is absolutely amazing at what she does, both myself and my 12 day old son were welcomed with open arms at her very homely but professional studio. The whole experience was extremely relaxing (which is hard to imagine with a newborn) but Sarah literally took control and was amazing with my precious baby. Also later on in the day my 3 other sons joined us for more photos which I was dreading due to 2 of them being teenagers and photoshoots weren’t their thing!! But Sarah was brilliant at making them feel relaxed and engaged in fun conversations which they all responded amazingly to and as a result had more fantastic photos taken.
I found the whole experience amazing and Sarah’s work is to an extremely high standard therefore I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to everyone I know. Thank you so much Sarah!”

Kim, Newborn Photography Client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“I had a newborn photoshoot with Sarah about a week ago, my baby wasn’t easy to work with and in the beginning I thought it’s not going to work and I won’t have the photos I wanted but Sarah was so amazing with my baby and such a perfectionist she didn’t give up even when I told her to. I just had a look at my complete session yesterday and photos are beyond any expectations!!! They are just amazing!!! I would recommend Sarah to anyone who’s looking for the perfect photos for your child! Will definitely come back in a few months for all kids shoot!”

Laura, Newborn Photography Client from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire

“We are very pleased with the photos that Sarah took of the family. With a difference of over 67 years in the ages of the ten family members, it was not easy for Sarah to get us all smiling at the same time (particularly the two babies), but she managed it well. We have some great photos to treasure. Sarah has a relaxing and friendly manner and certainly knew what she was doing professionally to get the best shots.”

Val, family photography client from Thame, Buckinghamshire

“We are thrilled with our photo shoot; loved the experience and results. Could recommend Sarah more, brilliant service and obviously cares about what the customer wants to achieve ??.”

Laura, family photography client from Poundon near Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We opted for an outside shoot with the dogs and Sarah was absolutely brilliant. I was very impressed that she booked an appointment to meet us and the dogs before the day of the shoot, getting to know their personalities and our relationship with them. She was very good with the dogs and extremely patient putting us all at ease during the shoot. The results are stunning with bright, rich colours despite a fairly cloudy day. We ended up buying more digital photos than we had intended!”

Katherine, Dog Photography Client from Oakley, Buckinghamshire

“Sarah is an outstanding photographer! I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough not only does Sarah has an amazing eye for capturing the photographs, she also has an incredible ability to create a calm and fun atmosphere. We are very lucky to have been able to have a session with Sarah. From the moment we met, I felt totally relaxed and confident in her professional ability. She has captured the most stunning and entertaining pictures of our four weeks old daughter. Spending time viewing the final images was extremely helpful and her suggestions for the products were very much appreciated! Last but not least Sarah is wonderful with baby/children she has a lovely approach and friendly manners! I enjoyed every moment of our photo shoot and thank you for capturing the wonderful photos of our daughter that we shall treasure forever! If you want relaxed yet classic photography I would highly recommend Sarah thank you for your amazing work!”

Shirley, Newborn Photography Client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“I love Sarah’s style when I first saw her website as it’s simple but very classic and modern. Sarah took photos for our little one and we are pretty impressed by her professional skills on the shoot day. She is so patient with new born baby while she can capture every amazing moment at the same time. I’m so moved when I was shown the portraits. Thanks for Sarah’s hard work that these fabulous moments can stay forever. Highly recommend!”

Yingting, Newborn Photography Client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“I contacted Sarah about taking photos for my 30th. I fell in love with her style as soon as I saw her website and from the first email correspondence to ordering our products she has been so friendly, professional and warm. She clearly loves what she does and it shows. She made us feel at ease (and we both hate having our photo taken). She listened to what we wanted and then also had her own input into what she thought would be good. The photos are amazing! Every single one of them is so different. We will certainly be back for more photos from Sarah. They’re worth every penny! Thank you again.”

Krista, Couples’ Photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Great photographer, very helpful with suggestions. Overall 10/10!”

Franscois, Online Product Photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“When I first reached out to Sarah regarding photography for my new baby daughter and 5 year old son, I thought I’d missed the boat on the newborn style photography that I love. I’m not organised enough to have a 5 day old at a photo shoot!

Sarah helpfully suggested the older newborn types shots and a dialogue began. From the outset Sarah’s professionalism and passion has stood out. I was so impressed with the pre shoot phone call and the questions Sarah asked in order to gain an insight into what sort of images I might like and what Max’s interests were.

On the day my 11 week old proved somewhat challenging, but Sarah was so calm, flexible and accommodating, it made the whole thing so much easier. Sarah engaged so well with Max, winning genuine smiles with jokes and games and drawing Max’s own interests into the shoot.

Once the images had been captured and it came to the selection stage, Sarah was so helpful and patient and was able to offer good advice on framing options.

Sarah is a real talent and knows how to get the very best from her subjects! I cannot wait to display these amazing portraits, that I feel pefectly capture sibling pride and warmth, in our home for years to come. Thanks Sarah!”

Angela, Newborn Photography client from Brackley, Northamptonshire

“So incredibly happy with the beautiful videos and photos that Sarah took at two of my events. Incredibly knowledgeable and numerous suggestions to ensure that I received what I wanted. Highly recommended.”

Kezia Luckett, Promotional & Corporate Video client from Barcelona

“I chose Sarah for my maternity shoot because of how she made me feel about the experience. Starting with a visit to my home to get to know me and what I was hoping for, we discussed ideas and I was then able to gather some examples of the sort of thing I wanted to achieve. For me, it was important to have artistic shots, which didn’t necessarily show my identity, but made me feel good about being pregnant. This isn’t her usual style, however she was happy to try whatever I wanted. My husband also joined in with part of the shoot, and considering he was not looking forward to being photographed, he felt it was a good experience for us, having been made comfortable by Sarah in her home studio. After time to consider which photos I liked, I chose the selection which incorporated artistic shots, which made me feel good about my pregnant body and were the most fun to do. I also chose one of myself and my husband where we were captured in a very natural moment with darker artistic lighting. I’d recommend Sarah to anyone who wants to get natural shots, with a comfortable atmosphere in the style that you feel comfortable with.”

Jane, Maternity Photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Just received the images from our newborn photo shoot from Sarah and they are absolutely fantastic! My husband and I are so pleased with them. I found out about Sarah’s photography via a google search and was immediately interested from the examples on her website and we certainly weren’t disappointed by our experience. She created a lovely relaxed atmosphere and was great with our 3 week old little boy making the whole experience a pleasure. We had the freedom to choose exactly what we wanted for our photographs, but with helpful advice and guidance in order to create the best images possible. Sarah listened carefully to our preferences and tailored the photos accordingly. We now have a gorgeous range of photographs to treasure and would definitely recommend Sarah to others – professional, personable and extremely flexible we couldn’t have asked for more.”

Ellie, Newborn Photography client from Reading, Berkshire

“Sarah took some wonderful photos of myself with my family. She made us feel relaxed and comfortable. I completely recommend her to anyone looking for professional photos with a personal touch!”

Anne, Family photography client in Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah did a new born photo-shoot with our baby when he was 12 days old. Sarah was so accommodating and patient throughout the session, as well as been so comforting and relaxed with our baby. Sarah was so professional and we are so pleased with the photos Sarah took. They are fantastic and exactly what we were looking for (and better than we could have imagined). We cannot recommend Sarah highly enough and look forward to booking her for another family shoot when the baby is a bit older.”

Lorraine, Newborn Photography client from Headington, Oxford

“Sarah was brilliant for our new baby shoot, from the first conversation up until she showed us the amazing photos at our house. She looked after our 2-week old girl so well and wasn’t phased by us having to feed or change her whatsoever. Throughout we felt very comfortable and the end result is fantastic. We would highly recommend Sarah for newborn shoots and will be back for a 1-year shoot this time next year!”

Justin, Newborn Photography client from East Hanney, Oxfordshire

“Really pleased with our shots, we have some great memories to treasure and can’t wait to see them around the house. Sarah’s studio is a relaxing and welcoming environment and Sarah really made us feel at home. Sarah has a really lovely manner, was great with our baby and so calming. Sarah allowed plenty of time to get the shots and was really patient. I’d definitely recommend and use Sarah again.”

Nicole, Newborn Photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah clearly has a love for what she does. From the minute we arrived at her home studio we felt at ease, Sarah was wonderful with our daughter and followed her lead with the poses she did happily and didn’t force anything our little one wasn’t happy with and moved on with the next shot. When Sarah came around for the portrait reveal we fell in love with all the picture and kept every single one. We will definitely be recommending her to everyone!!”

Faisal, Newborn Photography client from Banbury, Oxfordshire

“I booked a photo shoot for my beautiful 13 year old, as a gift for her birthday. (Of course, it was/is a gift for me as well!) Sarah took plenty of time to give advice to my daughter on what to bring, in terms of good options for clothing, well in advance of our session. On the day, Sarah made us feel very welcome, and we were very well looked after. I was able to take my Mom as well, (and we got some impromptu shots of her too). Sarah took her time with Leah to ensure she was comfortable,. She had arranged for hair and make-up (thank you Kate!), and we did two very different looks. We got some absolutely breath-taking shots that we can really treasure forever. What a lovely lady, and a wonderful photographer. It’s sometimes difficult to recall the way you felt at a certain point – you know where you were, but not necessarily how you felt. Somehow, Sarah manages to capture the feelings that go with the memory. Sarah comes highly recommended.”

Barbara, teenager and makeover photoshoots client from Newbury, Berkshire

“I cannot rate Sarah highly enough! I am so pleased with the photos I just want to show everyone! It was a really fun experience and I’ve never met a more patient photographer. Sarah managed to capture beautiful images despite my one year old daughter who kept crawling away! I am definitely going to use Sarah again in future and I highly recommend her!”

Michelle, Family photography client in Bicester, Oxfordshire

“When a speaker who had been arranged for some months cancelled at very short notice, I contacted Sarah to ask if she would be able to step in to deliver a talk to our group on the theme of Portrait Photography. Thankfully, she agreed. Instead of the more typical approach of focal lengths, shutter speeds and control of depth of field, she expounded on the concepts of putting your subjects at ease, interacting with them and lighting to flatter your subject. The evening was a tremendous success with many positive comments from the members including one that simply said that it was “quite possibly the evening of the season so far”, and “warm, friendly and approachable”. We would be happy to welcome Sarah back for future presentations and would commend her to anyone wanting a fresh look at the skills of the portrait photographer.”

Stephen Warner, Speaker Programme, Secretary Witney Photo Group

“We were introduced to Sarah as a gift after our newborn was born. And from the minute we met her, she had us at ease. She was great with our 17 month old especially when she didnt want her photos taken and even more patient with our newborn. She has created the most precious photos of us as a family of 4, which we will treasure for a lifetime.”

Reena, Newborn Photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Professional and fun experience having a promotional video produced, Sarah knows exactly how to get the best out of the subject she is trying to shoot, highly recommended!”

Colin, Promotional & Corporate Video client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah offers a fantastic service with a personal touch. We are very happy with the quality of the pictures she captured. Thank you.”

Doug, first birthday photography shoot client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

““Wow! We love them!” was our reaction to the images Sarah prepared for us following our shoot with her.

“Sarah did a baby and family photoshoot with all (6!!) of us when our daughter was 12 weeks old in January 2019. We had a newborn photoshoot a couple of months earlier with another photographer which had resulted in some lovely images but a few crucial ones I wanted had not been captured so, as the previous photographer had no suitable availability, I found Sarah who was tasked with completing the collection, at short notice before our baby was not so new anymore. Like me, if you are reading this you have probably spent ages and ages looking at different photographers’ websites and reading reviews and wondering whom to choose.

“Sarah’s website and literature initially convinced me she would be right for the job. The images were lovely but crucially, because she puts so much on her website (it’s also presented beautifully, with great care and is obviously updated regularly) it was clear that there was also a consistency in the high quality of images she produces (and not just a handful of lucky great shots that might have been taken a decade ago, as you might wonder on some others’ websites).

“I had a video call with Sarah prior to the shoot and she was warm, friendly, professional and clearly prepared. Instead of just going through the motions, she clearly wanted to get a really good understanding about me, my style, my family, our home, the look of other images we had had done in the past, exactly what images I was after, even down to what we planned to wear and she gave some great advice on that plus some other pointers to help the shoot go well that previous photographers had not highlighted to me.

“On photoshoot day we really enjoyed meeting her and working with her. The kids warmed to her instantly and had great fun playing games with her as their photos were taken resulting in the most beautiful, relaxed images of them. I loved her attention to detail and the incredible patience she showed to get the best shots possible. So kind and lovely she even gave us cake! It was delicious! We all had a great day.

“When we viewed the images we were all thrilled (even my 5 year old twins were hugging me with delight watching the slideshow!) I can’t stop looking at the images and I am now determined to find a way that every single one of them will be displayed with pride and joy in our home. They will certainly be treasured, hopefully forever, by generations to come too.

“I’m so glad I spent the time to find Sarah. If you are wondering who to book don’t hesitate to book her. Just go for it. I know she will do a fabulous job for you too! I kind of wish she had done all of my children’s newborn shoots. Is she expensive? Well, she isn’t the cheapest but did we get value for money? Absolutely.

“If you want a baby photographer who is warm, professional, shows great creativity, patience and attention to detail then look no further – Sarah is your girl!”

Eva, Newborn photography client from Buckinghamshire

“Sarah offered a personal and professional service from start to finish of our experience. Even keeping the session secret from our daughter who was the focus of the shoot as part of her birthday was not too much trouble. We wanted to capture our daughter at age 18 in a picture that she would love herself and treasure forever. Sarah took time to be curious about Niamh and understand quickly what we wanted from the session from the outset of our enquiry. The Skype pre-meeting was friendly and well organised so that when we met for the shoot at Sarah’s studio we got going promptly. Sarah put us at ease and managed to capture all aspects of Niamh’s personality. Teenagers can have strong views and Sarah listened to ideas and accommodated these, with her expert skills tweaking to get the best out of Niamh in a variety of shots. Importantly for me, Niamh went from self conscious to confident, had great fun and we all love the results. Be prepared to make some difficult choices at the selection stage! Even then Sarah left that to us, subtly offering her thoughts and giving advice when asked. There was no hard sell which was consistent with Sarah’s approach throughout. She is genuine and clearly loves what she does which came through. Sarah managed to capture Niamh beautifully and we would thoroughly recommend her.”

“It was an amazing experience. Sarah made us feel very comfortable and we felt like real models. The result was even better that what expected. Thanks Sarah.”

Maria, Maternity photoshoot client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“I had a fantastic shoot with Sarah, she’s so warm and welcoming and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. She’s a very lovely person who is so easy to get on with. With regards to the shoot itself Sarah was fantastic at giving directions and help with my posing, she was also open to any ideas I had in mind too. She was incredibly patient during makeup and costume change and there was a few. I would highly recommend Sarah such a lovely lady and great photographer.”

Ava, Professional model portfolio client from Bath, Somerset

“I recently did a portfolio collaboration with Sarah. She is a very talented and professional photographer. You can see the high quality in her work and high standard of presentation. She was very accommodating to me and my circumstance of needing to bring my toddler. Great shoot with a great team. Thank you, Sarah!”

Lorna, Makeup Artist, MakeupbyLorna.com

“Sarah is an amazing photographer and hugely talented. My husband and I had a great range of portraits including professional headshots and us as a couple. The quality and attention to detail is excellent. Sarah is very professional and friendly. We had fun at the time too! We love our portraits and definitely recommend Sarah Plater Photography.”

Jo, Couples’ Photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah took some wonderful photos to help promote my new album. She made me feel at ease and directed the shoot masterfully. There are many photographers out there; what makes Sarah different is that she clearly has a natural talent for what she does, and throws herself headfirst into whatever she’s working on. Would not hesitate to recommend.”

David, Commercial Photography client from Chesterton, near Bicester, Oxfordshire

“A massive thank you to Sarah for her amazing pictures of our dog Hamish. She worked so well with him to produce the most beautiful photos which get complimented by everyone. Excellent service and would definitely be using Sarah within the future.”

Georgia, Dog Photography client from Marsh Gibbon, Oxfordshire

“Absolutely brilliant photographer who Really captured the cheeky, fun loving, vibrant personality of our little girl. A fast and efficient service with a real personal touch! Thank you.”

Alison, Family Photography client from Newport, Telford

“We are thrilled with our newborn and family photographs that Sarah took for us. She was so gentle and caring with our baby during his newborn photo session. During our family shoot, Sarah had a great challenge on her hands with our rather independent and strong minded 3 year old, but managed to get some great shots of him (even if he wouldn’t wear his jumper!!! ?). Her patience with our children was incredible and only surpassed by her talent at capturing some amazing pictures of us all! We can’t thank you enough!”

Mum of Four, Newborn Photography and Family Photography client from Oxfordshire

“We had a newborn photo shoot with Sarah and it was truly amazing from the first point of contact with Sarah to receiving our final images. Sarah’s knowledge is amazing and her skills with newborn babies is outstanding. We were so pleased with the photos and so glad we did not choose anyone else to capture these special moments forever.”

Katie, Newborn Photography client from Ardley, Oxfordshire

“I can’t recommend Sarah enough. I booked Sarah in to do a newborn photo shoot for my baby, he was 6 days. Sarah made the whole experience stress free, while we were there she took care of my baby making it a relaxing morning for me. The photos Sarah took were amazing I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.”

Zoe, Newborn Photography client from Ardley, Oxfordshire

“We absolutely love the photos that Sarah has taken of our beautiful baby girl. The first moment you meet Sarah you are met with a warm, great big smile that never fades throughout the whole process.

Sarah’s professionalism and attention to detail is incredible which allows her to capture the most beautiful images. Her enthusiasm and passion for her work is clear to see!  On the day of our shoot, I took some sentimental belongings along hoping they could be used in some of the photos. What Sarah produced with them was perfect, and something I would never have thought about doing!

We will cherish the photos for ever. We can not recommend Sarah highly enough. You will not be disappointed.  Thank you.”

Rhian Carpenter, Newborn Photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah recently came to take photos of some items off our new Durban Spice secret supper menu and she did an amazing job. She was really excited to get involved and took stunning pictures of our delicious food for our new home restaurant! She was professional, helpful and made it a fun day. Thanks again.”

Shabir Ally, Commercial Food Photography client from Wheatley, Oxfordshire

“I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough. She understood what we wanted to achieve with our bump and baby shoot. We both loved how everything Sarah did was done to make us feel relaxed, giving us the most natural photos instead of the forced photos which we wanted to avoid. She was happy to organise the photoshoot in an outside area of our choosing and the images we decided on were fantastic. We couldn’t have imagined they would ever be that good. When it came to the baby shoot, Sarah again made us feel so relaxed which in turn helped my little one stay chilled out for the session. Sarah is fantastic, and we can’t wait to have family photos done in the future.”

Charlie Burgess, Newborn Photography client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We had a family shoot (inc the dog) with Sarah and it was excellent from start to finish. Initially the shoot itself was very relaxed with my children immediately warming to the lovely little games Sarah was playing with them to get them relaxed and to help capture some more informal shots. She was also wonderfully patient with our little dog who eventually played ball for the shoot. The final pictures we had were amazing and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Excellent service and product from start to finish.”

Simon Barber, Bicester family portrait photography client

“Sarah has produced the most amazing photographs for us to capture our little girl’s first birthday. She has been so professional throughout the process but made it fun too! We can’t thank her or recommend her enough. We will be sure to use her again – thank you, Sarah! ?”

Lucy, first birthday photography shoot client from Oxfordshire

“The photo shoot with Sarah was fun and informal as I had hoped and it was great to capture memories with the wider family visiting. Sarah’s approach put everyone at ease and her ability to keep the attention of the ‘little ones’ has meant some beautifully captured moments. Sarah has been flexible and professional through what has been an enjoyable experience.”

Silva & Sean, Bicester family portrait photography client

“Sarah is very professional. Her pictures are amazing. She is very patient and that what you need to be especially with my two energetic children. My children enjoyed very much having photos taken by Sarah. I’m already recommending her to everybody.”

Katerina Danickova, Bicester family portrait photography client

“I’ve just had a video done for the Mayor’s See Bicester campaign by Sarah and I’m really pleased with it!! Sarah was very organised in the lead up to the filming, coming in and doing her ground work then on the day she was very patient and covered everything twice so I could go over anything I wasn’t happy with! The video is so detailed I would highly recommend Sarah! Thank you!”

Emma Clarke, Promotional & Corporate Video client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“This was our first experience of using a professional photographer, and I’m so pleased that we found Sarah. She helped us to capture some newborn family photographs which are going to be very special to us. I found that Sarah was extremely approachable and responsive prior to the arranging the shoot and especially liked how she met with us first to discuss what sort of images we wanted to capture. On the days leading up to the shoot, she liaised closely with us to ensure we were happy with the weather conditions and what time of day would suit our newborn best. For the actual shoot, Sarah helped us to feel comfortable and at ease with the shots, and handled our son with such care. With her help, we managed to create the natural shots we wanted, and came away extremely satisfied with the end result. I would definitely recommend Sarah to other friends, and will certainly be using her again myself. Thanks Sarah!”

Outdoor Newborn Photography client from Oxford

“Such a relaxing experience, something I didn’t expect with a newborn! Sarah was very professional and kept the baby so relaxed throughout the shoot. A lovely experience with beautiful photos.”

Louise Hartzenberg, Newborn Photography client from Wallingford, Oxfordshire

“Thank you so much for our newborn photo shoot and being able to include our toddler. You made the whole process easy & stress free. 🙂 We’re in love with the photos and so pleased with our choices. ? Xx”

Annie Sparks, Newborn Photography client from Launton (near Bicester)

“Sarah was very discreet, she was reassuring every step of the way. I did wonder if anything would be restaged or things paused and shuffled around to suit the camera but the way Sarah silently followed us all was perfect, it allowed us all to be ourselves without feeling ‘on show’ We could be a family exactly as we would usually go about everything which is exactly the essence we hoped to capture in the video. I would have changed nothing other than to have found a 30 minute long track to which she could squeeze even more beautiful shots into. Sarah has put so much magic into our short film and captured an authentic memory of how our every day was in 2018 that will be treasured always. You are amazing at what you do Sarah and we are all so grateful.”

Kimberly Plested, family video portrait client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“I was extremely happy with the service I received from Sarah after a work collage recommended her to me. It was very professional comfortable and friendly atmosphere while getting my materniy photos done, which I am over the moon with! Also I have now booked in for my baby’s newborn photos when he arrives!”

Terri Buckingham, Oxford maternity photoshoot client

“As I am keen to develop my video skills, Sarah was kind enough to let me shadow her as part of her videography work for the SEEBicester campaign. I was given some great insights into her workflow and techniques. She answered my questions with great clarity and was very personable. Thank you, Sarah.”

Nick Ribeiro, aspiring Bicester-based film-maker

“We had the best time with Sarah and would recommend her to everyone! We booked in for a maternity shoot for my second pregnancy and the results were more than we could have hoped for. Not only was Sarah super helpful during the planning stages, she was amazing on the shoot too. My little boy had the best time, especially with it being outdoors and shot in the evening! Sarah made us all feel so relaxed and we had an awesome time! There are no ends to her talents… if you are thinking of getting in touch do it now! Looking forward to when my little one makes their appearance for our newborn shoot with her too!”

Nadia Watts, Maternity Photography and Newborn Photography client from Bedfordshire

“Sarah is amazing and I cannot recommend her highly enough! I was anxious infront of the camera, but straight away but with Sarah’s professionalism and guidance she put me at ease. The finished product is incredible, the attention to detail and the quality is 10/10. Completely chuffed, thank you Sarah!”

Laura Duggan, Promotional & Corporate Video client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We are absolutely in awe of the newborn and family photos Sarah has taken. Her patience and determination to get the shot just right really shows in her work. There is a very delicate balance of professionalism and a friendly warmth to the way Sarah works, it made us feel relaxed and resulted in all 6 of us captured with very genuine smiles… The images she captured were perfect and so special. I had to hold back the tears when we sat viewing them. After viewing our photos we were made to feel very comfortable choosing our package. What an easy decision to make – we simply wanted them all! Thank you Sarah.”

Kimberly Plested, Bicester Newborn Baby Photography client

“Thank you very much for the lovely photographs, they are so nice to have as a keepsake and to remember her newborn-ness. I really liked the experience just as much as the photos. I could relax, the baby was taken care of and happy and it felt very positive. Newborns can’t do much and are demanding so it was nice to do something with her in such a positive way.”

Louise Anderson, Bicester newborn photography client

“We are absolutely in love with the photos that Sarah took of our family. She has beautifully captured the personalities of everyone, and they are just stunning. She is so talented, and our photo shoot was so much fun. Initially my husband and I didn’t want to be in the pictures, but Sarah persuaded us, and we’re so glad we were, as we now have some beautiful family pictures to treasure forever. We will definitely be back for more photos in the future! We are so excited for our wall art to arrive ?.”

Charley Jenkins, Bicester family portrait photography client

“Sarah has a very charming nature and immediately put everyone involved at ease. Although nervous at first, my mum had an amazing day with amazing photos (including some with a few family members thrown in) to look back on which is exactly what she wanted. Watching Sarah at work it’s clear she knows exactly what she’s doing and takes pride in her work. Would highly recommend!”

Rachel Cuddy, Essex family portrait photography client

“Sarah held a great photoshoot with me for my business- she put me at ease and helped me get fantastic and professional photos of myself and my work. The end results were so great I had real trouble choosing which shots to purchase, and they represent fantastic value for money. Would recommend to anyone.”

Emily Brady, Buckingham commercial headshots client

“Well what can I say about Sarah, apart from she is amazing. She has recently done a video and write up for my business, which was beyond anything I had hoped for! The Company video was shared on local selling and chat site which resulted in 15 new clients!!! These situations can sometimes be very nerve racking, but Sarah is amazing at putting you at ease and she’s very professional and creative with her ideas and experience. I can not thank her enough and will defiantly use her again for future projects. Thank you Sarah :-)”

Kelly Petts, Promotional & Corporate Video client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“We booked Sarah for our first ever family photoshoot and I was hugely impressed by her professionalism and hard work throughout the process. She took the time to talk to us about what we wanted and put so much effort into getting the perfect shots. We did our shoot in some local woods on a summery day and the results were truly magical. Sarah really knows how to use her camera and equipment to make the most of her subjects and setting. We’ll cherish these pictures all our lives and we’re looking forward to having some more done in a few years.”

Harriet Cooke, Kent family portrait photography client

“From the word go Sarah completely understood what I wanted to achieve with a bespoke father’s day gift. Sarah made the boys feel very comfortable and got them to loosen up ensuring everything was natural and not forced. I really wanted some timeless pictures of the boys just being boys, in the countryside with a sunset backdrop. Sarah achieved this above and beyond and captured the most stunning photographs. We wanted to include the dog in some of the pictures and again this was not too much trouble. The end result was emotional as I struggled to choose my favourite pictures. A gift that truly will last a lifetime with memories encased in the photographs. One very happy daddy and a bare wall transformed into a piece of art! Thank you so much Sarah.” 

Heidi Kelloway Bicester family portrait photography client

“Five stars for a five star service, my dog poppy had a photo session with Sarah, Sarah has such patience as my dog was a bit all over the place, the end results were brilliant pictures, I am so pleased with them, they arrived in very safe and secure packaging too, I would highly recommend. Thank you Sarah.”

Sharron Harris, Bicester dog portrait photography client

“Sarah is fantastic to work with and instantly puts you at ease. She is very calm and relaxed and her attention to detail is really good. I was nervous about doing a video for my company but Sarah put me at ease and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. The end result was amazing, thank you Sarah.”

Paula Houghton, Promotional & Corporate Video client from Bicester, Oxfordshire

“Sarah created a beautiful video of a day in the life of our 3 year old daughter Eliza. She was extremely patient and managed to get some beautiful footage out of a tricky customer! The video was edited and completed quickly and is a real favourite with our family!”

Alison Chapman, Wolverhampton family video portrait client

“I received a birthday gift voucher to attend one of Sarah’s studio dog sessions but Widget had other ideas! Despite Sarah’s best efforts, Widget was nervous of the camera flash. Sarah kindly offered to meet us in Widget’s local park to catch her at her best. Sarah was very patient and we had lots of fun trying to capture shots of Widget, who doesn’t sit still for long! Sarah presented the photos professionally and I was pleased with the range to choose from. I can’t wait for them to arrive!”

Louise Hughes, Bicester dog portrait photography client

“Thoroughly enjoyed our recent photoshoot with Sarah and our dog, Baxter. Sarah was very patient and captured some great images. Really looking forward to receiving our prints! “

Kerry Worfolk, Bicester dog portrait photography client

“Thank you Sarah for the great experience and portraits that we will cherish forever. We are over the moon with how you’ve captured all of us and the great choice of location. Grateful for the discussion beforehand about what we wanted, and for your advice on how to get the best from the shoot. I wish we had known you when we were looking for a wedding photographer! We will definitely be in touch again next time we want family photos, we’ve loved the experience.”

Kathy Kiruiru Lumby, Bicester family portrait photography client

“A fantastic experience from start to finish – I would highly recommend Sarah for family portraits! From the very first email contact to final delivery it was a pleasure working with such a helpful, professional and friendly person. We had an outdoor shoot in cold, cloudy, damp conditions, but Sarah made it such fun that it didn’t matter. And because she had taken the time to prepare thoroughly, including researching and visiting the rather unusual location (River Thames lockside!), it all went extremely smoothly. She’s excellent with little ones; our 3- and 6-year olds were so relaxed and absorbed playing her various games! We love the end results and will treasure them for years to come. It was great to have Sarah’s help and advice all the way through the process, and lovely that she delivered the final artwork to our house so she could see our reactions and the photos in situ – she obviously takes a lot of pride in her work. Thanks so much Sarah!”

Jo Wright, Bicester family portrait photography client

“Sarah was amazing today, I couldn’t recommend her more, I am so pleased I had the opportunity of shooting with her today. Her knowledge on lighting, guidance and camera skills was unbeatable. She was so friendly and warming and easy to work with. She even turned up super early and scouted the area for the best locations for the results we both wanted. I’m so excited to see the edits. Thank you for a great photo shoot and I would definitely work with you again. One happy man here!!!”

Jay Drew, Cardiff model portfolio photography client

“Brilliant and EXTREMELY patient, Sarah took photos of my two dogs, they were not the easiest customers but somehow Sarah managed to take some beautiful shots of them together and on their own, super happy and will be singing her praises to whoever will listen!! Thank you for the amazing pictures that I will be able to keep even when heaven forbid that they will no longer be around.”

Emma Fielding, Bicester dog portrait photography client

I am very pleased with the images I have of my sons. It was great working with Sarah and the boys were really chilled and relaxed about the experience which I think is evidenced in the photos. I’ll be back to work with Sarah when my younger two get to 13!

Karen Ravenhill, teenager and makeover photoshoots client from Oxford

“Very friendly, lovely and professional Sarah we enjoyed our photo session. Beautiful photos taken so many to choose from. Thank you.”

Pam Bamford, Bicester family portrait photography client

What an amazing experience. Sarah very generously set up a private pet portrait session for my 14 year old dog Lola, who is very dog selective. Lola has metastatic cancer and may not be in our lives forever (though she is currently undergoing chemo and doing well at the moment), but the wonderful pictures Sarah took will be with us forever. I am so pleased with them and cannot thank Sarah enough.

Katie Giles Blazdell, Bicester dog portrait photography client

Wonderful experience with Sarah last weekend at the doggy photo shoot. So impressed with the pictures and considering my dog was very hyperactive, it was even more of an achievement. I’d highly recommend.”

Michelle Whittaker, Bicester dog portrait photography client
