Does any of this sound familiar to you?
“I wish I had carved out space for myself sooner, but the time never felt right.”
“I have a big life milestone approaching & want to document the occasion with a photoshoot, so I always remember how empowered I felt.”
“Recent years have brought personal, mental or physical challenges to my door & now I want to celebrate how proud I am about what I overcame.”
“I don’t want to get to 80 & wonder where all the years went - I want to look at photographs of myself and remember what a powerful woman I was”
I'm here to tell you THAT YOU DESERVE TO BE CELEBRATED
What’s at the core of Narrative London:
Taking charge and re-writing toxic beliefs we’ve inherited about how we should look, how we should dress & how we should age!
Changing the narrative on ‘vanity’. Accepting that it’s incredibly powerful to invest in images for ourselves - and not just for the viewing pleasure of somebody else.
Providing a safe space where you have full permission to be seen, be yourself and to be celebrated in all your glory! Narrative is an all-female business that puts your privacy and safety at it’s core.
A belief that all women of all ages are encouraged to step in front of the camera and document themselves - if not for themselves, then for their daughters and their daughter's daughters. Ladies, this is our legacy!!
repeat after me:
I need no one’s permission but my own
what past storytellers have to say:
Joey, CARDIFF
"I knew that turning 30 I wanted to do something special for myself, and when I came across Narrative I knew it was meant to be. Sarah was a great support throughout the whole process; from the moment I booked the shoot. I’ll be forever proud of the photos we took that day!"
Rebecca, London
“If you’re looking for an empowerment session, Sarah is absolutely the one to go to. I know I’ll be booking a session with her every single year now—don’t hesitate, you won’t regret it. It’s so important! And let’s just say those extra special, spicy shots I gifted my husband for Christmas were a huge hit.”
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
You want to bookend a major life event by creating a beautiful visual timestamp of this chapter of life you’re in, right now. Perhaps celebrate a milestone birthday or even a career achievement.
You want to reclaim your identity and sensuality after a long relationship has ended. Stepping out of your comfort zone by proving to yourself that you can do something "brave" and a little bit daring!
You’re working on the relationship with your body and turning your attention towards self love and acceptance. Whether through child birth or recovery from illness, your outward appearance has changed and you want to see yourself through an artistic lens.
You simply want to gift yourself an incredible experience, feel pampered and document your current self…for your future self. Not even to gift the photos to your partner, but for your own legacy of womanhood.
THIS ISN’T FOR YOU IF:
You don’t want experience that feeling of “Wow! is that really me?” when you see your beautiful images.
You don’t want to feel brave, having walked away from an incredible experience that took you out of your comfort zone and showed that you are capable of so much!
You don’t want to leave your shoot feeling empowered, liberated, accepted and fearless.
You’re happy that you have lots of beautiful photos your partner and family have already taken on their phones, and don’t need to make time for yourself to feel seen.
DAILY AFFIRMATION:
The comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there.

Meet your EMPOWERMENT PHOTOGRAPHER, Sarah
CEO & CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF NARRATIVE LondoN
Having had the honour of styling and photographing women for 20+ years, opening the doors to Narrative London was a dream I’d held for a very long time.
Now 43, this truly feels like the right time…our time! As women in the world today, we need to support each other, be kind to those we don’t know and spread acceptance everywhere we can. I truly believe that by honouring and accepting ourselves, we can help make all the women that touch our lives feel that strength and power too 🤍
I launched this Empowerment Portrait Studio with the main goal of giving women a platform to celebrate themselves in every season of life; turning 40, navigating divorce, coming out of the trenches of motherhood or just finally recognising your self worth…at any age!
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I think if you have already begun the search for your photographer, then you’ve already taken some big steps in the right direction! You already know deep down that this is something you’d really like for yourself, so trust the process, and more importantly your photographer, to help guide you throughout and make the experience something you’ll be SO proud of!
-
It’s so important you have a photographer you feel deep down is right for you and your needs. It’s better to invest in the experience you truly want, than someone closer to home that was more just for convenience. I’d love to chat about a way we can make a session work to your needs, if that’s a weekend shoot to make travel more manageable, or perhaps incorporate a shoot into plans you already have to visit the city. Let’s chat!
-
My studio is located in South London, in a lovely creative & busy community. There are great train, tube and bus links, with Ubers and Black Cabs available at most nearby stations. There is also a hotel just a stones throw from my studio - you can even see it from my window! So if you’re travelling from afar or arriving late, you can bunk up there and know you’re right where you need to be. I share a PDF guide with all my clients, with travel and location info before your shoot - so don’t worry, I got you.
-
We got this!
Once you’re all booked in, I’ll share a comprehensive Style Guide with you, with lots of advice about how to prepare for your shoot - from skincare to wardrobe ideas. I’ll share my top tips on things to consider wearing, and even share some brands to try for things like lingerie. I was a Fashion Stylist for 10 years before my 10 year career as a photographer, so I’m always happy to chat through fits with you, before the big day. -
100% no! These sessions are for you to explore your confidence and sensuality. If that means wearing an incredible full length dress and feeling sexy as hell, then I’m here for it. If that means wearing no clothes at all and celebrating every curve, then I’m fully respectful of that decision too. My goal is to create art, that you will fall in love with.
-
I want to provide a safe and welcoming space for you during your session and I understand that new spaces, people and experiences can be overwhelming. Whilst I wouldn’t perhaps advise bringing a chaperone, I also respect your wishes if you want to have someone there. Perhaps we can discuss how this looks for you prior to the session eg. someone can arrive with you and chat with us as make-up is carried out, then there is the option for them to visit a local coffee shop, giving us the space and privacy to focus on you during the shoot.
have any other questions?
contact me and I'll be happy to answer.
Still unsure of which session might be for you?
