Purple Kite Photography

Purple Kite Photography is Sarah Whyte’s portrait studio in Hertford, where portrait photography is a true speciality. Sarah’s approach is warm, calm and reassuring — she knows how awkward it can feel to be in front of a camera, and she uses a gentle, conversational style to help clients relax and show their true selves. Whether you need a studio portrait, a natural environmental headshot or strong images for your business profile, Sarah focuses on creating honest, confident photographs that work for both personal and professional use. What makes Purple Kite different is a combination of technical skill and a people-first philosophy. Sarah blends the clarity and control of a studio (white walls, choice of cloth and paper backdrops) with a signature, natural editing style that keeps colours vibrant and emotions real. For professionals, she treats headshot sessions as an opportunity to tell your story — crafting images that are perfect for LinkedIn, websites and marketing, but that still feel authentic rather than overly staged. She also brings the studio to you, offering flexible options for workplace or home sessions so teams and individuals can get a variety of looks in one convenient shoot. Working with Sarah is straightforward and friendly. Each session begins with a short consultation to understand your goals and the image you want to project. On the day she guides poses and lighting gently, aiming for natural expressions and flattering angles rather than stiff formality. If you prefer on-location portraits, Sarah scouts local Hertfordshire settings to create meaningful environmental shots that reflect your personality and brand. After the shoot, images are professionally edited in her signature style and delivered via an online gallery for easy download and sharing. Clients choose Purple Kite for portrait photography because Sarah combines professionalism with a human touch: she’s reliable, communicative and genuinely invested in helping you look and feel your best. Based in Hertford, serving Hertfordshire and neighbouring areas, Purple Kite Photography specialises in portraits and business headshots designed to build confidence, connection and a lasting visual impression.
