Photographs You’ll Want to Keep Forever

I’m Sarah, a photographer based in Crawley Down, West Sussex. My studio is a warm, relaxed space where families come to mark the moments that matter most — new babies, first birthdays, bumps, and everything in between. Come in, kick your shoes off, and let’s make something you’ll love.

A Little Bit About Me

I’ve been a professional photographer for over 20 years, and I still love it as much as I did at the start. These days I work entirely from my own studio in Crawley Down, specialising in the early years of family life – pregnancy, newborns, babies, first birthdays, and family portraits.

The studio is my second home. It’s set up to give you as much variety as possible, from soft and airy light tones through to deep, dramatic backgrounds, with plenty in between. Whatever style you’re drawn to, we’ll find something that feels right for you.

Most of all, I want you to feel comfortable. I’m not a formal, stand-and-smile kind of photographer. I want you to feel like you’re visiting a friend who happens to have a camera.

Kind Words from Clients…

Beautiful calm setting. Sarah is brilliant and the photographs are just wonderful, you’ll find it hard to choose….

I can’t recommend Sarah Fisher highly enough. I booked a Maternity shoot with her and received the photos yesterday and they’re incredible.

Not only that but I’ve had a difficult pregnancy and had to postpone my first appointment with only a few hours notice as I was in hospital. Sarah was so understanding and rebooked the session squeezing me in before my induction date. She then turned the photos round really quickly before baby arrived so now I have something to keep me entertained in labour!

I wasn’t sure maternity photos were for me but decided it was now or never and I’m so glad I did. Sarah was also so accommodating to my cheeky almost two year old and got the most stunning photos of her even when she wasn’t always playing ball. Thank you so much Sarah.

Charlotte

We recently visited Sarah Fisher Photography for our newborn photoshoot. Our photos are amazing and everything we hoped! As first time parents we weren’t sure what to expect but Sarah put us at ease straight away and she was brilliant with our little one! I highly recommend Sarah for newborn photos and we will be back again!

Aimee

I cannot recommend Sarah Fisher Photography highly enough. Sarah was very accommodating to our needs and very helpful. During the photo shoot she was friendly and engaging and helped put us (and our lively cocker spaniel) at ease. The photos were available to view about a week after, and they were fab. Great variety and captured some great candid moments. There is no hard sell or pressure to buy any ‘packages’, it’s a very straightforward and relaxing process. Shame I can’t give more than 5 stars!

Catherine

We received a family portrait session as a Christmas present from last year.  Sarah made us feel very comfortable with our session today, she asked us exactly what we wanted. Her set up was lovely.
With a small child I can appreciate it must be hard to take photos but Sarah was lovely and kept our little one smiling.  Can’t wait to see how our photos turn out!  Will definitely be going back in the future to get our family photos

How Babies Show Temperament Early

Temperament shows up early - often in the very first days. The way your baby responds to noise, new faces, routine and stimulation tells you a great deal about who they are. Here is what to look out for, and what it might mean.

What If My Partner Isn’t Keen on a Family Photo Session?

One of the most common things I hear before a session is that one partner is not exactly keen. The dragged-along partner is a very real thing, and I say that with complete warmth. Here is what usually happens, and why it tends to work out better than they expected.
