Hey, I’m Sarah…
I run Pictorial Photography, a multi-service photography studio in a small coastal town in the North East of England. Over the last 13 years, I have become the go-to photographer for passports, visas, and IDs in my local community.
The steady flow of visitors to the studio not only showcases my wall art but also allows me to network and build relationships. Many customers, having gotten to know me through passport photos, end up coming back for a variety of other photography services.
I’m excited to pass on what I’ve learned over the years and I hope you will join me on this exciting journey!

I recently had a great chat with Andrew on the PhotoBizXposed podcast about something most photographers never talk about -passport photos, and what a well paying lead generator they are for any photography business!
A lot of photographers seem horrified when I mention that I do them, but honestly, it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my business. It’s steady, automated income that covers my studio rent and bills, and it’s also a brilliant way to bring new clients through the door. People come in for a passport photo, see my work on the walls, and next thing you know, they’re booking a family session.
In the episode, we covered:
📸 How I automated my bookings to keep things running smoothly
📸 Why passport photos are the most profitable service I offer
📸 How this ‘boring’ little service actually brings in long-term photography clients
📸 The unexpected side benefits - meeting loads of interesting people and having a laugh along the way!
If you’ve ever dismissed passport photos as not worth the effort, this might change your mind. Have a listen and let me know what you think!
