Hannah Lamb, Northumberland - White Studio Review

F.A.Q’s

About Me

sarah smiling and holding canon camera

My studio is a welcoming space where families can relax, be themselves, and create beautiful, timeless portraits together. As a photographer - and a mum - I know that getting the whole family in one place, looking their best, can feel like a challenge, but I promise it’s worth it!

I will make sure you look and feel amazing in your photos, from gentle lighting to expert retouching (yes, I can swap heads if needed!). Whether it’s a classic portrait or a playful, personality-filled session, my goal is to capture your family’s unique story in a way that feels natural and effortless.

I’d be thrilled to be telling your story, Sarah x

What To Expect From a White Studio Session

Clothing Consultation

A natural, relaxed portrait experience in the studio is achieved by starting with our clothing consultation, either over the phone or in the studio. At this (optional) informal meeting, we discuss any ideas you have for your session, wardrobe choices, and your family's personalities. This will help me learn a little more about your expectations of the session, your family dynamics, and your emotional connections. Here we'll also confirm the time and date, for the session.

Your Photography Session

Your studio session will normally take around one hour, keeping things fun and relaxed with no pressure for the best photographic outcome, especially if young children are involved.  

I will give you gentle prompts and directions to elicit genuine interaction and emotional connection.

Extended family are welcome if you would like to share the experience.

**In order to give you my very best, I limit the number of location portrait sessions to four per week. This means that at some times of the year your appointment will need to be made around five to eight weeks in advance. As you can imagine, Saturday afternoons and school holidays are extremely popular for family location sessions.

View & Choose Ordering Session

Approximately one week after your photography session, you will be invited to our studio in Berwick to look through your photographs and make a selection. You'll be able to see everything on a big screen for an easier viewing experience.

Framing and wall display examples can be viewed during the ordering session enabling you to see exactly how your photographs could look. We assist you step-by-step in the selection process, ensuring that you have the right pictures, frames, and mounts for your home and décor.

Wall Planning

Our speciality is in custom-designed wall galleries created specifically for your home, if you are interested in our complimentary wall design service, please let us know before your view and choose session so that we can prepare some mock-up ideas for you.

Please Note: Ordering appointments usually last around an hour and are not much fun for small children. We recommend that you set aside your viewing as some quality 'me' time, either with or without your partner but preferably without the children. Trust us, they will thank you for it!

Does It Have to Be White?

Not at all! While our white studio portraits are timeless and beautifully simple, we understand that they’re not for everyone. If you’re looking for a pop of colour or something to match your family’s unique style, we’ve got you covered!

Our Northumberland studio offers a range of stunning seamless backdrops - from deep navy blue to cheerful buttercup yellow - that allow you to personalise your session. Whether you prefer bold tones, soft pastels, or something more classic like grey or black, we’ll help you choose the perfect colour and style to suit your family and home.

Want to take your session outside?
