The Sarahlee Studio Experience There is so much love and skill that goes into creating timeless portraits for our clients. At your consultation we'll chat about how you want to be captured. At your shoot our hair and make up artists will take you to whatever level of glam that you want. Then when we start photographing, I will direct you into poses that atter. A few weeks later you get to view and purchase your beautiful portraits.

BEHIND THE SCENES

- Mothers & Daughters -

Create a legacy of beautiful images with your Daughter & Mother, celebrate the love and life you share together.

I know what it's like to avoid the camera, the shame of not being good enough to be photographed. Looking back there are whole periods of my life missing, no photographs exist of me for numerous years. When I have children I want them to know the story of my life, as I age, mature and change. We need to celebrate who we are. Because one day when we are gone, those pictures are all they will have of us. Photographs are the most important legacy we can leave them. Moments of a beautiful life we lived with our children and family, captured in portraits.

- Glam the Dress -

Your wedding dress. You know, the one that's hiding at the back of the wardrobe. The one you thought you'll never get to wear again...

You spent hours looking for it, tried it on numerous times, had one magical wedding day but think it'll never happen again? Maybe it was traditional white, maybe it was something a little different?

You deserve that bridal feeling more than once; the hair, the make up, the pampering.

Bring it out of hiding and celebrate all over again!

(Shh, don't worry if it won't zip it up, we won't tell anyone)

-Your Guide to Being Photogenic The Turtle and the Double Chin...

You are beautiful, now. Gorgeous as you are and truly someone of grace and elegance, but sometimes when we look at our photos we wonder where it’s all gone. What we see in the mirror can be so different to what the camera shows us. So I’m going to cover tips and tricks to look good in photos and how to capture the best version of you. Let’s start with the curse of many photos for men and women, young and old. The dreaded double chin. It is one of the main reasons so many of us duck for cover when it’s picture time.

We all get it. We all hate it. You know that mysterious second chin that spontaneously appears anytime we’re faced with a camera. Why is that every time we say “Cheese” our neck comes up to meet our chin and the whole lot morphs into folds?

The truth is that you don’t look like that in real life, so don’t believe it when you see it. And I’m going to tell you how to get ride of it for good! When we smile we instinctively tuck our chin in, lift our heads back and widen our cheeks. This is normal. But pair that with the intimidation of being in front of the camera, we tense up and it doesn’t look so good anymore.

The remedy for this is to stick your chin towards the camera, pushing your head forwards and elongating the neck. Then tip your chin down slightly or bring your forehead forward. Trust me; it feels weird and looks great. From the side you can see that I am projecting my head away from my body. Yes, this in this view it looks bazaar but that’s not what the camera will see. The camera can only see from one angle and that's all you have to worry about. From the cameras point of view this will define the jawline and help hide everything a wee bit more.

Many great photographers use this trick and it’s a stable of every models repertoire, so much so that Tyra Banks nicknamed the move “The Turtle”. It’s simple, easy to do and will make a huge difference to how you look in photos. Try it, you might be surprised at how well it works!

- Just for You -

"There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty."

There are so many facets to a woman and this one is for you alone.

Whether you want to be subtly sensual or mysteriously hidden behind a white sheet, we can show you a side of yourself you never knew existed. Maybe it's cute pj's, a negligee, a bare shoulder, a sensual look or an assumed nude. We want you to feel comfortable in your skin, whatever level you choose.

- The Studio -

A white space of calmness, pampering, dress up and gorgeousness that's all about you. I have carefully curated my studio to be a space dedicated to you. When you first arrive for your shoot we'll go through the outfits we've chosen together and hang them ready for your changes. You'll take a seat at our hair and make up area, where you can relax and it's entirely up to you how you look. Meanwhile I'll start planning your session down to the last pose, so that when we start photographing it all runs smoothly. We do multiple different outfit changes and capture every combination of you and your daughter, sister, mother, partner or family; those you have chosen to be photographed with.

Once the photo shoot is complete we'll find a date for you to come back to view your images. And you get to bring who ever you like with you to look through them and help you decide what products to purchase. Maybe it's something for the wall or a little more personal like a silk covered folio box. We create a behind the scenes personalized video of your experience just for you and offer vintage framing and custom card options. All products are A La Carte so it's entirely up to you what you take home.
