heirloom art of everyday life.
You wouldn’t change your wild, beautiful and messy family life for anything in the world, and you want to document your connection in an honest and authentic way.
My goal as a photographer is to be a mirror that reflects people’s lives exactly as they are - through a lens of artistry and beauty:
moments of joy, grief, stillness, and chaos.
All of your life is worth remembering.
Hi,
I am Sara, a documentary and portrait photographer in Portland, OR.
I am also a mom with a phone full of photos. Yet, I can rarely find a photo of my family that includes me, let alone one that shows how we live and love together. This realization started me on a journey that brought us here.
My mission is to create photos that will pass down your family stories & hold life’s most tender memories.
In essence, I document your real life.
“One of our goals in booking a photo shoot was to capture our real life as a family of three in the final weeks before our second child was born. Sara's presence in our home was effortless, professional, and comfortable as she captured the true essence of this time in our life that is about to change. The results brought tears to our eyes and we'll cherish the photos forever. We are already looking forward to working with Sara again to capture the next season of our little family. She has a real gift for creating art out of everyday life.” - Ellie
