Pictorial Photography
Most of our sessions take place in Berwick upon Tweed and the surrounding coastal and countryside areas of Northumberland and the Scottish Borders / East Lothian. A natural, relaxed experience, using our incredible local environment as a backdrop for your family.

Whether we meet on the beach, in the woods or even in granny's garden, the time we spend together will be with buckets and spades in the sand, a bbq on the beach, dancing while the sun goes down or sitting on gingham blankets with a flask of hot tea and scones warm from the oven.Pure, simple and natural, I use beautiful light, simple posing and neutral colours in studio sessions to capture the magical stages in your child's life.

There were no good photos of my family when I was a child, not even a snapshot. The only photograph we had taken together was on the way down a water flume on a swelteringly hot, sunny day in Flamingo Land, I an awkward teen and all of us kitted out in those yellow plastic ponchos.

It wasn't until I had my own family that I realised the lack of photographs of our history together, my mum is especially rare in any pictures, she was always the one taking them.I used to notice how pictures in other people's houses made it feel homely and when I asked my friends about the portraits they beamed with a sense of belonging and pride.
Whether we meet on the beach, the park or even in granny's garden, the time we spend together will be spent producing photographs with artistic and emotional value. Digital gift vouchers are delivered instantly and are a great way to say happy anniversary, congratulations, a new baby, get well soon and of course happy birthday.
I love to see the pride and excitement on a business owners face when they see thier photography for the first time - pride in the company they have built and excitement about using the work I have done to further the growth of their business. I work with ambitious and creative entrepreneurs who need professional pictures but want them to look natural and unposed.
My documentary approach blends into the events and celebration of your day. I create beautiful images from the events that transpire, capturing the essence and emotion of the day itself. In order to give you a really exceptional experience I limit the amount of weddings I shoot to only 10 per year.
Passport, Visa and ID Photography We have 2 drop in sessions per week, Saturday 10-12am and Wednesdays from 3-5pm and you can just turn up, no appointment required during these times. Let us know if you have a newborn baby or require specific specifications for a visa in advance. Do you do passport/visa photography?

We have now had multiple photoshoots at Pictorial, and Sarah is just absolutely amazing with our boys. The quality of the sets and props is outstanding, Sarah is incredibly patient & accommodating, and we have been satisfied with our photos every single time. Can’t recommend enough!

Sarah was our photographer of choice for our wedding, so I was thrilled to trust her again for our first child’s Xmas pictures. Didn’t disappoint! My little boy was so relaxed and Sarah was very accommodating: lying on the floor, having me shaking a rattle on top of her, having my little one’s fluffy monkey hanging from the camera...nothing was too much trouble.
The result was excellent and is a memory we will always have with us!
Do not hesitate to use Pictorial services!

Sarah and Sophie were both amazing when taking photos for the Christmas mini shoot of my two. They made everything so easy from the minute we got there. We now have the photos back and they are incredible as always. We wouldn't go past pictorial as you always get the most amazing photos. Thank you again xx

Sarah recently took photos of our holiday home, photos were absolutely great and really showed off the space much more than I could with a camera! I wasnt able to be at the property to meet Sarah in person but Sarah let herself in via keysafe and worked away so saved alot of running about for myself and within a few hours of putting the photos online we had our first bookings! would highly reccomend Sarah's services.

Sarah has done photos for us for two holiday cottages and for my professional website.
Sarah is a great photographer and a lovely person to work with. She works to a high standard, always supplying well-crafted, lucid and perceptive photos that work really well. She has an eye for unusual angles and details that give her photos extra character. And she is a very approachable person to work with, always ready to go the extra mile (literally!) and very reliable. She is flexible in arranging appointments and prompt in producing work. Definitely our first choice and I would thoroughly recommend her

Fantastic photographer. Sarah was kind enough to fit me in for my baby boys 1st birthday photo shoot. She catered to our needs on with what we wanted to achieve in the photos. I enjoyed my experience so much I booked into a mini Christmas shoot for both my boys. It was a magical gift to give my family. Again we had a great shoot even with two young children. Sarah was patient with my children and great at getting there attention for the camera. Her price's are reasonably and clear to fit your budget. Thank you for our photos we look forward to booking in for our next family milestones! Oh and her

We booked Sarah from Pictorial photography to do the headshots of our young actors at Scripts to Stage Talent Management. From the initial booking Sarah was professional and friendly, she took time to call and discuss exactly what we needed and how we wanted the young actors to be represented. On the day of the shoot she made all the young people feel comfortable and offered a relaxed shoot that in turn gave a great choice of a number of different looks for their profiles. Sarah is a wonderful photographer and went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of our young performers.

I messaged Sarah about a mini shoot for my puppy and the shoot couldn’t have went better Sarah was so patient with Frankie and made us both so welcome. I am so pleased with how my prints turned out. I will definitely be using pictorial photography again. Worth every penny
