ABOUT ME
I am Sarah Morrow, a Maternity, Newborn and Family Photographer located in Milton, Ontario.
I'm originally from a small village in Hertfordshire in the UK and moved to Canada in 2010 with my husband. Yes, I still have the accent .... don't imagine it's going anywhere now.
I'm often asked if I miss the UK and my honest answer is No. I miss the family of course and a good chippy (fish and chips) but I don't miss the UK. Let face it, Canada's weather is miles better.....you actually get 4 distinct seasons here.
I'm a mum to 3 mini men, which is the most amazing and most infuriating job all at the same time. I love Mexican food, even if it doesn't love me most of the time. My favourite season is Fall and I love a good scary movie. I've always had a love of photography growing up and was always known for bringing a camera everywhere.
It wasn't until my first son was born that the passion really took off. With friends encouragement, I realized that I could make a living from something I've always enjoyed doing and have a passion for
Some clients will wait till the baby has arrived to contact me and book their session! My reply for this is don't wait, once you've had the 12wk scan, message me. The date of your impending arrival certainly is not set in stone, but you can reserve my time. I set aside 3/4 dates so we can be flexible and fit you in once the baby has arrived.
Short answer yes! It is best to photograph newborns for studio sessions during the first 3 weeks of life because they are more likely to sleep through different settings, and they take well to being positioned but we can still get photos past that so don't stress. Lifestyle newborn sessions can be done at any age in the luxury of your own home.
Simply put, you don’t ask a professional photographer to give you their RAW photos, because that would only be giving you half of a finished work of art. Photographers brand their work based on a photograph + editing as one combined product. RAW files being unedited, are therefore not an accurate or complete representation of my work or my brand. You will never see an unedited image from me, your galleries are always fully edited.
In my less busy periods, you can expect to receive your final edited images in a private online gallery within 48 hours. However, during busier times, it may take up to 5 days. You have up to 3 weeks to select your final images. The timing of when you receive them depends on how quickly you make your choices.
In my less busy periods, I typically suggest booking 2 to 3 weeks in advance. However, during busier times, it's advisable to secure your session 6 weeks ahead. To ensure you get your preferred date and time, I recommend booking sooner rather than later
Send me a message, and we'll coordinate a suitable date. Afterwards, I'll need a signed contract and the deposit fee, which is deducted from the total cost. Please note, the deposit payment is non-refundable.
The optimal time for sessions is typically in the morning, especially for family sessions, which usually start around 9 or 10 am. The early morning light is beautiful, and children tend to be at their best after a good night's sleep. For cake smash sessions/ sitter sessions, we accommodate nap schedules, with 11am or 12pm being ideal. Maternity sessions are best done at sunset when the light is stunning, but if that doesn't suit with little ones, we can arrange for early morning sessions.
If someone from your group falls ill, I'm willing to reschedule the appointment. I kindly request that you inform me as soon as possible in such circumstances.
I monitor the weather a few days prior to your session and will make a decision the night before. If rain is forecasted, we'll reschedule the session.
You all want to feel and look like yourselves, comfortable and authentic. As a suggestion, simple attire tends to yield the best results, while avoiding logos, stripes, and clashing colors is preferable. Layering is particularly effective for achieving diverse looks.
Firstly, it's important to understand that the cake is not provided due to allergy risks. However, I will supply backdrops and props tailored to your chosen theme. Clients are responsible for bringing their own outfits. The session will commence with photos of the baby, proceed to the cake smash, and wrap up with a soothing bubble bath.
Sitter sessions are meant to commemorate the milestone of babies sitting on their own, as they grow so rapidly during this stage. Ideal for babies aged 6-10 months who are sitting but not yet walking. All you need to bring is your baby; I provide the backdrop, props, and outfits for these sessions.
