Sarah Aires | Photographer of People | Creator of Confident Remote Headshots 

 

Hi, I’m Sarah — I photograph people. My job is to help individuals and teams show up confidently and naturally online… even if they normally hate having their photo taken. Even if their team is spread across the country (or the world). Even if they’re convinced they’re not photogenic. 

 

Over the years, I’ve learned that it’s rarely about the camera — it’s about nerves, self-doubt, time pressure, and the awkwardness of being seen. That’s why I created Cadenz Remote Headshots: a calm, guided, phone-based process that works wherever you are, in just 15–30 minutes. It’s simple, thoughtful, and surprisingly fun — and it helps people show up as themselves. 

 

I love meeting new people, picking up on different personalities, and adapting my approach each time. I’m genuinely proud of the results we get — not just in the photos, but in how people feel afterwards: relaxed, confident, and maybe even a little bit proud of themselves too. 

 

My brain runs fast (ADHD-style), which means I’m always observing, responding, and staying present with whoever’s in front of the camera. I believe a real smile beats a perfect pose — and that confidence starts from the inside out. 

 

Outside of work, I’m fascinated by finding flow, maintaining fitness, and (let’s be honest) food. I geek out on good coffee, gut health, and gratitude, and I’m learning to savour the small things. You’ll usually find me pacing with Lucy (my faithful black lab) or swimming in the sea, still catching my breath and smiling. I’m finding my stride in this chapter — and I’ve got a feeling the best is still to come.
