We can’t wait to hear from you! Whether you have questions, are ready to book, or have received a gift voucher, we’ll guide you every step of the way. Call, email, or fill out our enquiry form, and we’ll personally call you back to understand exactly what you’re looking for and send our “Welcome to Sarahlee Studio” email with all the details you need—so you can start feeling excited about your session.

A few weeks before your shoot, you’ll join me in the studio (or via video call) for a relaxed consultation. Together, we’ll explore wardrobe options, your favourite images, and how you’d like your portraits to feel. You’ll leave with a clear plan, a prep guide, and plenty of inspiration, feeling confident and excited for the big day.

On the day, we take care of everything so you can relax and enjoy the experience. we’ll guide you gently through poses and expressions, helping even the most camera-shy clients feel comfortable, confident, and radiant. By the end, you’ll be amazed at how beautiful you and your images are.

After your session, we work our magic behind the scenes, carefully editing and retouching your portraits to perfection. If you have specific requests, we make them happen. Then we handcraft your products, from silver halide prints and fine art photographic prints to bespoke frames, partnering with Queensberry right her in NZ for museum-quality prints with a 75+ year lifetime guarantee. Your portraits aren’t just images; they’re treasured memories to pass down with love.

After your session, you’ll see your portraits for the first time in a private, stress-free viewing. Together, we’ll explore Prints, Albums, and Folio Boxes, helping you choose what feels right for your home and your heart. Once you’ve made your selections, payment (or layby) is finalised at this appointment. Then, we craft your portraits with care, whether prints, albums, or frames, so each piece becomes a lasting memory you’ll treasure forever.
