“Because they are family.”
I’m Sara Tarrant.
These days, you’ll usually find me balancing a coffee in one hand, my baby in the other and my laptop nearby, editing my latest studio session or planning new creative ideas. Family means everything to me and that includes Stella, the dog who started this whole journey.
When I’m not behind the camera, I love spending time with the people and animals I love most, whether that’s walks together or simply soaking up the quiet everyday moments that often become the memories we treasure most.
Photography has always been part of my life. I studied it at both A-level and university and spent many weekends working alongside a wedding photographer before eventually taking a different career path into teaching.
But life has a way of redirecting us.
At the end of 2022, while planning my wedding and preparing to welcome a new puppy into our lives, I became seriously ill and spent months in and out of hospital undergoing endless tests and treatment. It was a time that completely changed my perspective on life, family and the importance of holding onto meaningful moments.
Then came Stella.
The moment we received her photo - tiny velvet ears, bright blue eyes, and the sweetest heart-shaped marking on her forehead - everything changed. I found myself wanting to capture every stage, every expression, and every little detail that made her her.
Over time, I realised something important: our pets are woven into the fabric of our families and our lives far more deeply than we often realise in the moment.
That’s what led me here.
I created my studio because I understand what these relationships mean. My sessions are designed to feel relaxed, personal, and full of genuine connection; whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, or happiest curled up beside you.
You don’t need a perfectly trained dog to create beautiful photographs.
You simply need the love you already share.
My goal is to preserve that connection in a way that feels honest, emotional and timeless - creating memories you’ll still treasure years from now.
