“Working with Sarah was seamless, the booking process. On the day I was worried how sunset would go with my kids being in the “witching hour”  but she made it completely relaxed and amazing! My kids had a ball, there were tantrums but Sarah’s calm energy was felt by us all.

I absolutely loved the location, the beach was the perfect place for my little ones who love playing in the Sand.

I absolutely would recommend her to my friends when they are looking to book a photographer.“

"Sarah from Etched in Time Portraits have capture the most beautiful and precious family moments that I will cherish forever. I was worried initially about it how the shoot would go because our little one can be pretty strong willed at times, but Sarah caught all these amazing moments I didn’t even realise we were having, and made the whole process a breeze. I loved that even when we weren’t posing there were some candid snaps taken some of which are my favourites! The advice given to us before the photoshoot was foolproof and really helped us coordinate our outfits which photographed perfectly. The experience was really relaxing and casual, and while my husband can be camera shy, even he felt the experience was really easy and liked the guidance given because he didn’t really know what to do. I would highly recommend Etched in Time Portraits to anyone thinking about wanting to capture their family at a moment in time. It’s a time you’ll never experience again and Sarah is so down to earth that she naturally draws out the beautiful moments you have with your family and captures it perfectly. Thank you so much for our images!!"

"Sarah was fantastic throughout the entire process. Despite the hectic atmosphere of being newly home from the hospital, she skilfully managed the chaos of our home during the photo session. Her interaction with Freddie was wonderful; she kept him calm and happy throughout, demonstrating patience whenever he needed it. The final pictures reflect her professionalism and care, and we're thrilled with them! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sarah and will definitely use her services again."

“My biggest fear about getting photos before having a shoot with Sarah was the fact that I have 3 neurodivergent children and I honestly didn’t know how it was going to pan out but Sarah was super friendly, easy going, welcoming and made us all feel so comfortable!

We just all went with the flow and the end result has left me speechless honestly.

I already have been recommending Sarah to family and friends, I just showed the images that Sarah did and people are blown away with how beautiful they are.”

"Sarah is absolutely amazing, we loved the whole experience of getting our photos taken, she made it fun, easy and we all felt so comfortable!! It’s hard sometimes with little ones you never know how they are going to be on the day but Sarah was a natural at getting the most beautiful captures of all of us. We will definitely treasures these priceless memories forever!! We can’t thank her enough!!!"

"What can I say, we are absolutely in love with our family photos! Sarah was a pleasure to work with and just knew how to make our boys comfortable in front of the camera. We loved the fact we were able to get a big variety of shots and the beach ones were just a stand out for us. I love that for years to come we have these beautiful photos to share with our boys. Thank you so much, we will be sure to recommend you to our family and friends!"

"We are absolutely thrilled with our photos! We found the photo shoot experience to be fun and relaxed and Sarah has lots of experience in getting the best out of young children (and pets!). Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. She took the time to speak with us before the shoot to get a sense of what we were looking for, and provided advice on what to wear. The photos are so special and make wonderful forever memories for our family."

"We have always wanted an extended photoshoot, but with the kids being so small it was always a worry we would get to the shoot location and the kids would act up and not want to participate. Well not in this case, Sarah was so calm, cool and collected during the entire shoot, it was like she just came along for a play date with us!

Having us all together and just enjoying each other's company without any other commitments was really nice.

"We were feeling a bit nervous about baby staying settled throughout the session, and whether we would all be comfortable in front of the camera. But Sarah was calm and relaxed throughout the session, encouraged us to do whatever we needed to do with baby (feeding, soothing, nappy changes). She didn’t make us feel rushed at all and she really worked with the unpredictable nature of babies (and our dogs!). She just kept the whole session relaxed and had us feeling comfortable the whole time.

We loved how Sarah really wanted to capture us just being a family - and how she was so patient with all of us. She was also more than happy to include our fur babies - even though they weren’t super easy to work with!!

We would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone looking to have some beautiful memories captured to cherish forever. She will keep the session low pressure, whilst capturing the most amazing shots...

... We are so grateful to Sarah for coming into our home to capture our newborn bubble with such kindness and professionalism!"

"We honestly have no words.... These photos are so incredibly stunning and we truly cannot thank you enough - having these precious moments captured forever means the world to us! There is absolutely no doubt we will be in contact to book a shoot with you in the near future and won't hesitate to recommend you to all our family and expecting friends!"

"Our family photography session with Sarah was an absolute delight! Her ability to ensure the session was filled with genuine laughter meant she was able to capture those precious, candid moments, which is not an easy feat with four active little boys! It's clear that Sarah has a keen eye for composition and lighting, resulting in a series of beautiful images. Her professionalism, patience, and enthusiasm made the experience enjoyable for everyone, but especially our little ones. The final photos were truly wonderful, and we will treasure the memories captured of our family. We wholeheartedly recommend Etched in Time Portraits for an unforgettable family photography experience."

"We had such a great experience with Sarah, our session was very relaxed and enjoyable. She was able to direct where we needed her to but best of all Sarah was able to capture our kids love and happiness in beautiful photos!"

"Choosing etched in time portraits for our family photos was one of the best decisions we made! From the moment we met, we felt completely at ease. Sarah has an incredible talent for capturing not just moments, but emotions. Our photos turned out beyond our expectations- they’re a treasure that we’ll cherish forever. The whole experience was enjoyable and relaxed. We couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you Sarah, for creating such beautiful memories for our family!"

"Our entire experience with Sarah from the moment we made contact with her has been exceptional. Her warmth and easy going nature shone through. She was so relaxed and engaging with our family during the session, putting us all at ease, making us feel very comfortable and creating an enjoyable experience. Sarah has a natural ability to engage with all ages. She had a large group of us to work with and did so seamlessly, covering all the combinations of the families in both posed and candid shots. The final photographs are incredible. Everything I had hoped they would be and more. Sarah has created a beautiful collection of photographs, that will be treasured forever."

"We loved having Sarah take our family photos. This was our first ever family photo shoot! She was so easy to work with and made us all feel relaxed. I was so impressed with the final photo gallery we received. She captured our family perfectly! I would highly recommended her for your next family photo shoot!"

"Sarah was so easy going and made us feel so comfortable during the whole photoshoot. She made working with our toddler so simple and got some amazing shots of him that we absolutely love. Her creative ideas of shots really showed her experience and passion for photography and we are so happy with all our photos!"

“We are so happy with the family photos Sarah from Etched in Time took for us. We now have gorgeous pictures of our 5 year old twins and equally priceless family pictures. The accompanying slideshow set to music was so beautiful. Sarah captured priceless memories that we will cherish for ever. She was amazing in so many ways. Our recommendation to family and friends is that Etched in Time is a must. Thank you Sarah for the priceless memories.”

"Sarah did an amazing job with our newborn photoshoot! All communication leading up to our session was warm and more like talking to a friend than to a service provider. After all, you’re welcoming her in your home likely before family and friends have met your new baby.

Our favourite part about the photoshoot experience with Sarah was her patience and to see how much she enjoys her job (getting the camera back out a couple of times to capture special moments after the session had been over already).

We love every single photo she took of us as a family and especially of our sweet boy.

“We had a wonderful experience working with Sarah for our newborn session. When we needed to postpone our original booking due to our son being in special care nursery, Sarah was incredibly understanding and flexible.

The session itself was relaxed and enjoyable. Sarah was amazing with our older children, keeping them engaged and comfortable throughout. She truly captured the essence of our family, and it shows in the beautiful photos and video she created.

Some of our favourite moments are the ones featuring all three of our children together, such special memories that we’ll treasure forever. The photos are absolutely stunning, and the video brings those precious moments to life in a way we’ll always look back on with joy.

I couldn’t recommend Sarah more highly to anyone looking for family or newborn photography and video.

Thank you!”

Life was already busy but as a new mum of four you can imagine it gets every busier, I was worried about getting newborn photos done because I didn’t really want to leave the house and the possibility of my older children and newborn being unsettled was stressful but Sarah was amazing!

She came to my house which made the whole experience easier from the start, she was great with the whole family and the photoshoot was so calm, smooth and enjoyable! I love how flexible and relaxed Sarah is and it flowed through to the rest of us, especially me. I love the way she captures beautiful and natural moments for us.

Having both photos and videos to look back on are truly special, I never got videos of my older children and after seeing it, I wish I had! Watching the video brought happy tears to my eyes, thinking we will get to hold onto these memories and look back and see them in motion, the little toe curls, the sweet little hands, the little details she captures and seeing our family come together.

I would highly recommend Sarah to all my friends and family, she is so friendly, flexible, understanding and she makes the whole experience relaxed, fun and enjoyable, she captures the most beautiful moments and I am completely in love with all the photos and videos she has taken for us! 

"I met Sarah through our kindergarten where she captured beautiful images of our daughter. It was just the sign I was looking for to book a family photoshoot that I’d been thinking about for years.

Prior to the photoshoot, I was worried about how many good photos we would actually be able to get with both a 2 and 4 year old, especially in winter, but the shoot exceeded my expectations. Both our girls had a fantastic time running around, dancing and laughing. We even had a surprise visit from some kangaroos hopping by! Sarah was able to capture the moments, both in the photos and the family film, that shows exactly how I see our family. Candid, precious memories that I can forever look back on.

She helped so much in the lead up too, discussing with me the colour scheme and what clothes everyone would be wearing, this made the final photos look even better.

I would highly recommend booking Sarah, I was so happy both on the day and with the final photos and family video. I can’t wait for our next photoshoot, thank-you so much!"

“I've always loved photography and capturing moments in time that you think you will remember but end up forgetting as life moves forward. Photography and videos let you remember and re-live those moments over and over. That's where Sarah Ann Photography does this so effortlessly, professionally and with high quality photos and video at the end!

The last photos we had done, I was six months pregnant with my first child! I've always wanted to have our family photographed but where to start!…

I think for me, the biggest worry was what to wear and how to put it all together and not look so matchy matchy! I still wanted our unique style to show through. Sarah's website had a great colour pallet of what colours go well together and then all I needed to do was choose which best suited our family and head to our wardrobes. I was still able to put together outfits that showed our unique style as a family.

The whole photo shoot experience was relaxed and easy. The location and view were spectacular and especially as the sun was setting. I loved the way she encourages you to just be yourself and interact with your family and she goes to work and captures moments you didn't even realise were possible to get on film or photo.

I personally loved the film she put together for us and the music paired with it made it come to life and brought tears of joy as I watched it back. 

I'd highly recommend Sarah to any friends or family wanting a photo shoot. She is easy to work with, she has great ideas of how to capture your moments by just letting you be and not being too "set up" and "staged". She is awesome with interacting with kids - she is a mum herself. Sarah takes the stress out of the lead up to the shoot and also during the shoot. 

When we book her again because I know we will, I will most certainly book both video and photos. Her work is just beautiful!!

Thank you Sarah for capturing our family perfectly!”
