My mother and I had a fantastic experience with Sarah Tate, on a Mother daughter photo shoot. Neither of us are overly fond of being photographed, however what Sarah captured was pure magic and we now have such special memories! Our makeup and hair done by Emese was done with the utmost care and consideration. My son happened to tag along (unfortunately his care for the day didnt materialise) Sarah was most understanding and he managed to squeeze himself into a few pictures
Thank you so much for these memories Sarah

Attended a Makeover package which includes hair and makeup as well as a photo shoot. I highly recommend Sarah, the results are simply stunning my only gripe is that I didnt do this sooner
