INTRODUCTION

I've been styling & photographing

my own floral arrangements for over ten years now. 

It all started with a passion to create beautiful photographs from simple florals I could style on my own kitchen table. With skills in Photoshop I was able to create my own Actions to process my work taking it further than a camera alone can achieve.

ALL ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm Sarah Gardner 

I'm a professional photographer, author, artist and all round creative thinker with over 16 years of professional experience.

I live in a former Kiln Keepers cottage in the heart of Buckinghamshire, England. Across the lane from my garden gate are paddocks the Grand Union Canal and a pretty orchard. I have a deep rooted connection with English flowers that's been with me since my childhood.  Having now established a garden full of seasonal tulips, roses and meadow flowers I enjoy photographing what I grow.  I gain a deep sense of joy from preserving the beauty of flowers in photographic form and sending my work out into the world for others to enjoy.  

Established in 2008
