About
About Sarah Johnson Photography
I’m Sarah Johnson, photographer & business coach based in the North East of England.
I help women in business step confidently into their purpose through as your photographer and business coach.
Personal branding photography, business coaching, and empowering retreat experiences.
My work combines creativity, strategy, and mindfulness — helping you show up as your most authentic self, both in front of the camera and in your business.
SHALL I let you into a secret?
I’m not a fan of having my photo taken and much prefer to be behind my camera.
That’s why I’ll always do my best to make you feel completely comfortable and relaxed before the photoshoot starts. It’s how we manage to have a fun time together AND get amazing pictures.
Taking the time to get to know you as part of our planning session and pre photoshoot work really helps.
A Journey of Transformation
Photography came into my life during one of its most challenging chapters.
After years in the corporate world, navigating burnout, early menopause, and the heartbreak of failed IVF, I needed something that felt meaningful again. I picked up a camera as a form of therapy — and through the lens, I rediscovered myself.
That spark became the foundation for a business that has transformed not only my life but the lives of hundreds of women I’ve worked with since.
Today, I bring together photography, coaching, and mindful business development to help women feel confident, connected, and visible — without the overwhelm.
Lily & Bonnie — The Heart Behind the Brand
My golden retrievers, Lily and Bonnie, remind me daily to slow down, embrace joy, and find balance — values that flow through everything I do. My business was born from those quiet walks, moments of reflection, and the belief that creativity can heal and empower.
You’ll often hear me say, “It’s not just about the photographs — it’s about how you feel during and after the experience.” That philosophy underpins everything, from my photoshoots to my coaching sessions and retreats.
Say Yes to Being Seen™
At the heart of my work is my signature philosophy — Say Yes to Being Seen™.
It’s about more than visibility — it’s about confidence, self-belief, and alignment.
Through my 1:1 coaching, co-working days, and retreats, I help women reconnect with their vision, overcome self-doubt, and take purposeful action in their businesses.
Each experience is designed to blend strategy with soul, combining practical business tools with mindful reflection and community connection.
You’ll find my workshops and retreats full of inspiration, laughter, and real transformation — the kind that helps you step into your next chapter with clarity and courage.
Ready to Be Seen?
If you’re ready to elevate your brand and finally feel proud of your photos — I’d love to hear from you.
Let’s capture the story only you can tell.

Photography with Purpose
My photography remains at the heart of my work — but it now serves a bigger mission.
It’s a tool to help women show up confidently, tell their story visually, and elevate their brand with intention.
Whether you join me for a personal branding photoshoot, a clarity coaching session, or a full-day retreat, the goal is the same:
to help you feel aligned, empowered, and ready to say yes to being seen — in your business, your content, and your life.
How I Work
Every session — whether a photoshoot or a coaching experience — is designed with purpose and presence. You can expect:
A friendly, supportive environment that feels safe and inspiring
Space to explore your vision, goals, and brand message

Gentle guidance to help you reconnect with your purpose and self-belief
Mindful moments woven throughout to bring balance and creativity to your day
