Portrait studio in Hale by Sarah Angel — First Class Honours photographer creating natural‑light headshots, business and personal portraits with a calm, down‑to‑earth approach. Printed displays available.
Hello — kia ora and welcome to my portrait studio in Hale. I’m Sarah Angel: a Fine Art‑trained, First Class Honours photographer who specialises in portrait work. My focus is simple — to create natural‑light portraits and professional headshots that feel honest, calm and beautifully personal. Why choose me for your portrait? I bring years of experience photographing families, maternity and portrait commissions across Surrey, Hampshire and London. My background as an art and photography teacher means I combine technical skill with a warm, patient manner; I pride myself on putting people at ease so I can capture genuine expression rather than forced smiles. Whether you need a striking LinkedIn headshot, a refined business portrait or a personal fine‑art portrait, I work to reveal the truest version of you. What makes my approach special? I photograph predominantly in natural light and favour a clean, timeless aesthetic — soft tones, thoughtful composition and attention to eye contact and gesture. My sessions are never rushed: I take time to understand how you want to be seen and craft images that will sit beautifully on your website, social profiles or displayed in your home. I also offer expert advice on wardrobe, posing and how to present the final images so they have real impact. How we’ll work together: every portrait session begins with a relaxed chat so we can plan the look and mood you want. On shoot day I aim to create a calm atmosphere where you can relax and be yourself. After the session you’ll receive a private online gallery where you can choose the images you love. If you’d like printed work, I can help source fine‑art prints and handcrafted wall displays made by British craftspeople — I believe portraits should be seen and enjoyed, not left on a drive. A little about me: I’m a Kiwi mum based near Farnham (GU9) and I bring a playful, grounded energy to every session. Alongside portrait work I run beginner photography workshops for adults and occasionally photograph family and doggy sessions — but my core specialism and passion remains portraiture. If you’d like a portrait that feels authentic, considered and made to last, I’d love to chat and plan your session.
