Adelaide Branding + Headshot Photographer

Your business, with the human bits left in.

Pretty is not enough. These photographs have a job to do.

Natural Headshots and useful brand photographs. No performance required.

Hello, I’m Sarah. I’ve been photographing people professionally since 2011—and I know most humans do not enjoy pretending to laugh at an empty laptop.

I make relaxed branding photographs for small businesses, creative people and teams across Adelaide and South Australia. A useful gallery should help people understand who you are, what you do and what it might feel like to work with you.

We’ll make a practical library for your website, socials, press and print: natural headshots, people at work, products, details, place and the slightly odd little things that make your business recognisably yours.

Half-formed plans are welcome. Creative or unique ideas? Especially welcome. Tell me where the photographs need to work and what you want people to understand. I’ll help plan the shot list, choose the location and gently direct the humans. We can photograph at your workplace, outdoors, in a hired studio or with a simple portable setup.

Need me there for the full day?

Full-day commercial shoots tend to have a few more moving parts—multiple locations, larger teams, set changes, downtime and more planning—not simply eight uninterrupted shooting hours.

Tell me what you’re making and I’ll build a clear quote around the coverage, planning and schedule you genuinely need.

“She nails the brief every time! Her style is natural, earthy, raw and feminine which matches my brand perfectly. I’m obsessed with all of my photos.”

Natural Touch-Ups

Still you. Just on a particularly good day.

Every finished photograph receives my professional edit. Your package also includes natural retouching on a selected number of portraits for temporary things such as pimples, small bruises or redness.

I won’t erase skin texture, laugh lines or the bits that make you look like you. More involved retouching is available when it is genuinely useful, and I’ll always quote it before I begin.
