Portrait studio in Biggleswade led by Sarah Haskell. Specialist portrait photography with relaxed, authentic studio sessions for personal portraits, pet pawtraits and professional headshots.
Portraits are at the heart of hera photography — I specialise in creating authentic, relaxed images that show the real you. Based in Biggleswade, I’m Sarah Haskell and I’ve spent a lifetime behind cameras, developing a gentle, conversational approach that helps even camera-shy clients feel at ease. My portrait studio sessions are built around personality, not pose: whether you want a personal portrait to frame at home, a pawtrait of a much-loved pet, or a crisp professional headshot for LinkedIn, I’ll work with you to capture moments that feel true. What sets my portrait work apart is a combination of experience, craft and curiosity. I shoot with a modern Nikon mirrorless setup, hold a Master’s Degree in Photography and am an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society. My work has been recognised in awards, exhibitions and feature lists for emerging portrait photographers. Those credentials inform the way I see light, composition and expression — always looking for the decisive moment that turns a good photo into something memorable. My process is simple and relaxed. We begin with a friendly conversation so I understand your aims and the look you want. In the studio I create a calm, welcoming atmosphere and guide you through subtle direction so poses feel natural, not forced. For pet sessions I adapt to each animal’s temperament, turning playful moments and soulful gazes into timeless portraits. For business portraits and headshots I focus on flattering, professional compositions that work across websites, social profiles and marketing materials while keeping the session quick and comfortable. I’m proud to offer personalised portrait sessions that suit different needs — studio sittings in Biggleswade or thoughtfully chosen on-location shoots nearby. Every session is treated with care: I pay attention to lighting, background and expression so your final images speak to who you are. My aim is to deliver photographs you’ll love displaying and sharing for years to come. If you’ve been putting off a professional portrait, want an update for your business profile, or dream of a beautiful pawtrait of your dog or cat, I’d love to hear your ideas and help bring them to life. Always the right focus. Sarah x
