Other News One of my Wedding Couples in HELLO! Magazine  I was tickled pink to hear that a couple of my photos appeared in Hello! magazine. Sarah Wood sent in some photos from her and Ollie's wedding and they were published in the real life weddings section. Back in Baby Surrey Magazine  After a period of not taking quite so many beautiful babies in order to concentrate on blushing brides over the summer I am back with the team at Baby Surrey magazine providing imagery for some of their features. Deciding on the image to use for my ad in the magazine is always hard but I felt it was our 2nd daughter, Bronwyn's turn to have a picture this time as Imogen has been my little mascot more than once before! Kind Words We loved our experience with Sarah. She made us feel us so relaxed. We never felt self-conscious and Sarah is WONDERFUL with children. A big plus! She uniquely captured our afternoon for all time because of her willingness to listen and learn about us before she even took out her camera. Although we'd just met, she managed to discover and capture our family spirit that we will treasure forever. Thank you!! Christina Catton  Our pictures are beyond all expectations and we can now look back at what was definitely the most fantastic day of our lives and relive every moment through the pictures. We all look so stylish, glamorous and fabulous, but still totally relaxed - I simply cannot believe it - you have captured everyone perfectly! Aside from the photos you are such a warm and wonderful person, you put everyone at their ease and had them smiling in no time! Your wedding photographer is someone who is around and by your side all day - and there during some of the most intimate and exciting moments - you are exactly the kind of person a Bride wants around! Suzi Irving  We felt self conscious about having our picture taken but Sarah helped us to relax. Sarah was very friendly and didn't mind the distractions caused by two young children. We are thrilled with our photos and friends and family have already commented on how fantastic they are. We would highly recommend Sarah. Katie and Jim Leason  We are so pleased that we asked Sarah to take our wedding photos for us, we really appreciated the time she took to get to know us and find out exactly what we wanted. On our wedding day Sarah blended in with our guests effortlessly. We wanted minimal fuss, and Sarah was so relaxed and easy to work with that we had great fun, she really made the day that much more enjoyable and truly did her best to ensure that she captured us and our wedding at its best. I would highly recommend her to any future bride. Claira Bannon

What an Exciting Year! Firstly I'd like to say 'thank you' for your past interest in Sarah Aires Photography. It's been great year! I've had the privilege of photographing a wide variety of subjects; new babies and their families at home, engaged couples along the canal, in the woods.... brides and grooms in the UK and abroad, family reunions, birthday celebrations, corporate team pictures and even a family tree formation 50 strong, from the top of a cherry picker!
It's been exciting to see my photographs in print in the Evening Standard, Baby Surrey magazine, trade press magazines and even Hello!

5 Tips for a Relaxed Photo Session  It's been encouraging to hear from so many of my clients that they value the friendly and tailored service that I endeavour to provide. I often hear that they, and especially their children, appreciate my preferred approach to taking pictures using natural light in their home (or at a favourite location) rather than the artificially lit and unfamiliar environment of a photographic studio.
Here's 5 tips for your making photo sessions even more natural and relaxed.
- Look for where it's nice and bright in your home, as natural light makes for great photos.
- Organise clothing and tidy up the night before your photo session, so you and your family are not frantically ironing or hoovering moments before your shoot!
- Avoid clothing with bright stripes, logos and very bright colours as these will distract.
- Have a change of clothing available to give variety to your photos if you'd like.
- Have favourite toys and treats on hand to keep kids happy.
New Products
- I'm now offering metallic prints which give your images an amazing contemporary feel, which is especially impressive for black and white images.
- I offer photographic canvasses in a wide range of sizes and they're also now available with a beautifully finished wooden frame surround.
- The professional digital cameras I use produce images with an astonishing level of detail, so I'm a big fan of larger framed and mounted prints which really display your images in all their glory.
- I can also provide ultra-modern acrylic displays, portfolio albums and fabulous 'coffee table' books.
I always use top grade photographic products, which are only available to photographers and are superior quality to that available on the high street.
Your Thoughts PleaseAs this is my first Sarah Aires Photography newsletter I'd really appreciate your feedback.
