Are you ready to elevate your maternity sessions?
For my first workshop of 2025, I’m focusing on one of my favourite session types and I hope by the end of the workshop, it’ll become your favourite too!
Sound familiar?
Are you looking to elevate your workflow?
Tired of the same old cutesy Mummy-to-be poses?
Are you confident posing Mummy and bump but struggling where to slot Dad naturally into the picture?
Want to inject a more modern, editorial style into your portfolio, but don’t know where to start?
I'm here to give you the tools and guidance you need.
Let yourself commit and feel confident in:
Posing…
This workshop will focus on poses you can recreate in your own space, during your own sessions, to create relaxed and intimate images that your clients will adore.
Prompting…
You will learn key prompts I use during much of my work that help guide your clients through the session, so they will soon feel at ease in front of the camera.
Styling…
Leaning on my years of experience as a Fashion Stylist, we will explore what ‘editorial’ means, and how you can produce work that feels modern and ‘edgy’ through styling and posing.
Creating connection…
When clients see genuine connection and intimacy in their images, they will fall in love with the experience they had with you. Watch me work and engage with my client to help them relax during their session.
Stuck in a posing rut?
Ready to build an archive of new poses to shake up your sessions?
A look at how the day will run:
Coffee & Welcome
Let’s set intentions for the day
I want to hear a little bit about you, your business and the main reason you joined the workshop - I really want to understand how I can best serve you during your time with me.
Editorial Session
solo bump Model
Starting with an intro into what ‘Editorial’ means, we will break down all the ways in which you can inject elements of editorial styling and poses into your work. We will then get to apply these ideas with a real mummy model, styled by me and photographed by us all.
Mummy
& Me
mummy model accompanied by child
We know we’ve done a great job with our clients when they return with baby number 2, and that can often mean a bump shoot with a sibling. So, I will have a real mummy & child client for us to photograph, and I will take you through some of my most trusted poses and prompts.
The Couple
both parents
Solo parent sessions can honestly be so magical, but how often do we hear those dreaded words “we’re not natural in front of the camera”?
I want to arm you with my favourite poses and simple prompts to help your clients feel relaxed and confident when the camera comes out!
It’s time to step up
Get ready to empower and inspire yourself with prompting prowess
This is for you if:
You want to feel empowered and educated when you pick up your camera, knowing you’re producing your very best work.
You’re looking for inspiration to take home and use with your own clients, to elevate your current work to a whole new level.
You struggle to think of prompts during a shoot and spend more time trying to think of the next move, than focusing on the shot.
You always fall back on the same 4-5 poses because you’re stuck in your comfort zone!
You’d like to spend time with other like-minded women who may offer you friendship and community in an often lonely job.
Don’t just take my word for it…
Natalie Silvester, Isle of Wight
Learning from Sarah was such a treat; her talent, experience and way with clients are second-to-none, and to get to learn from her was invaluable. Since Sarah’s workshop, I have set up my own studio space and have carried her teachings with me throughout.
Malika Jane, palm springs
Where do I begin...It was everything we all hoped for and more. It was a true reflection of how shoots go, and I learned so much. Sarah’s studio is so beautiful and such a welcoming space. Sarah is so down-to-earth and unbelievably talented at what she does.
Naomi Holligan, London
Sarah has the most amazing way with people and this translates just so effortlessly into her mentoring days. After spending the day at her Maternity workshop in her own studio, I couldn't think of anything I wanted more than to have her come to my own studio.

Meet your creative mentor, Sarah Attrill
CEO & DIRECTOR OF Sarah Kate London
You might say that my business is made of two halves. I first spent 10 years as a freelance Fashion Stylist and then after turning 30, turned my hand back to photography (after studying at University). This experience in the fashion industry is one that I draw on all the time in my work today.
I pride myself on sharing a very comprehensive Welcome Guide with my clients once they are booked in, and this is packed with tips on what to wear, what not to wear and everything in between.
I truly believe that guiding your clients to make the best wardrobe choices, perfecting your posing and having reliable prompts to use, is the very best way to create consistency in your work, and produce images your clients will love.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The most important thing to consider is that this predominantly a posing workshop, and I will not be talking through lighting or camera settings. It’s therefore important that you are confident with using your own camera without assistance. If you’re happy using your camera, then you will certainly enjoy and benefit from the experience.
-
Whilst this workshop is taking place in my natural light studio, all the poses and prompts would still apply to any location. There will be a range of standing and seated poses, all of which could be used in a home or outdoor environment.
-
Whilst we will be shooting everything using natural light, the core take homes from the workshop will be around posing your clients and useful prompts to use in your work. Whilst the images you take during the workshop may not align with your current editing style, there is still value in what you will learn.
-
Absolutely! I want you to come away with images that you are proud of and can use to help grow your work and perhaps even gain new clients. And remember, you can edit your images the same way you would at home - so if you always shoot natural light, use the same presets and editing techniques and the images should fit well into your current portfolio!
-
Once you’re booked in, you’ll receive an email with lots of useful info about planning your trip. There is a hotel very close by for anyone travelling from further afield and there are options for parking just minutes walk from the studio. I’m on the very outskirts of London, so no scary congestion charge but you might find you need to pay ULEZ. There are also underground and overground stations close by if you prefer not to drive.
-
Of course! You are welcome to leave whenever you need to. Whilst I won’t be able to pause the workshop for you, there will be a 1 hour break for lunch, as well as a tea break again mid afternoon if that helps with planning : )
