Sarah Tate Photography
Our aim is to bring you and your family together, we want to capture you and your loved ones in a way that you all will cherish forever. We know it's not always straight forward getting all your family members together for that important family photoshoot, in the right place, coordinated and happy, well, at our Sussex studio in Heathfield we have tried to make it as easy as possible.

To help make t easier for you to book your portrait sitting we now have an online booking service to help you, no more collecting multiple times and dates off of everyone, you can sit at your leisure and book your portrait shoot at time and slot to suit you all.
Services
We are based in the very beautiful market town of Heathfield, which is conveniently situated about 11 miles from Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne, and a mere stone's throw from Uckfield! My name is Sarah and I have been lucky enough to be photographing my amazing clients for over 20 years now. I have always loved photography and I established Sarah Tate Photography in 1999.
Simple, plain-coloured clothes tend to work best, as well as clothes with a subtle pattern. It's best to avoid bold stripes and checks as these don't work well in pictures, try not to have half the family dressed in white and the other half in black as the contrast in the images can be distracting.
Families, we can't always see each other as much as we would want too. Having a family portrait taken, whether it's in our studio or on location will always remind you of your loved ones near and far. It's not all about the photograph it's about creating the memory that will be hanging on your wall for many years to come.
The best time to start thinking about your Maternity and Newborn shoot is just after you have had your 20 week scan. Don't forget the maternity photoshoot, although relaxed it is not compulsory and is not for everyone, you can just choose Newborn if you feel more comfortable. We would love to see you in the studio so please feel free to call or message us if you have any other questions.
Look back at the first year of your babies journey with images and memories, that aren't just on your phone. Don't leave it until it's too late; our memories need to be with our families for generations. I love this first year of your baby's life, it's so magical; to look back on those first 12 months and to see how they have gone from being a tiny newborn baby into this lovely little walking talking bundle of joy!

My mother and I had a fantastic experience with Sarah Tate, on a Mother daughter photo shoot.
Neither of us are overly fond of being photographed, however what Sarah captured was pure magic and we now have such special memories!
Our makeup and hair done by Emese was done with the utmost care and consideration.
My son happened to tag along (unfortunately his care for the day didn’t materialise) Sarah was most understanding and he managed to squeeze himself into a few pictures 🤣🤣
Thank you so much for these memories Sarah ♥️

Attended a Makeover package which includes hair and makeup as well as a photo shoot. I highly recommend Sarah, the results are simply stunning my only gripe is that I didn’t do this sooner

Took my amazing mum for a mother and daughter shoot, as a 60/80 birthday gift to ourselves. Had a lovely time Sarah managed to make us feel very glamorous and the photographs are amazing. Would definitely recommend.

I treated the wife to a photoshoot to help her confidence and Sarah truly produced a beautiful collection of portraits. Although the wife was very nervous to start with, it was Sarah's empathy & professionalism that relaxed her enough to get some great shots. Sarah's editing skills were the icing on the cake and having chosen our selected shots we shall treasure them forever - or perhaps until next time :-)

This is the third time we have visited Sarah in her studio. First for our little boys photos, secondly for a family photo shoot and just last week for a newborn photo shoot of our daughter. Sarah has the patience of a saint and I felt at ease breastfeeding between photographs and in no rush to get the shoot finished. We went to view the photos today and they are the most beautiful pictures of my family. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

I was a little nervous at first booking a photo session for myself, but as soon as I talked to Sarah the photographer, she totally put my mind at ease. She was so helpful and welcoming that I went ahead and booked a session.
The session at her studio was very well organised. It started with another chat with Sarah so that she understood what my thoughts were and she made me feel pampered and well looked after. She had even prepared drinks and nibbles for me, and I loved it! Then I had my hair and makeup done by a wonderful lady.
I was still a little anxious at being photographed, simply because
