heirloom art of everyday life.
What if you could have family photos that make you feel seen for who you are and how you show up for each other?
What if you could look at your photo albums years from now and deeply feel the love that was interwoven into your wild, beautiful, messy, and awesome life?
My mission as a photographer is to make us fall madly in love with the imperfect, uniquely beautiful and challenging, real lives that we each live;
to step away from trends and pressures and keeping-ups and to settle back into our lives until that’s the only place we want to be -
in the moments of laughter, chaos, stillness, grief.
All of your life story 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.
I create honest and beautiful photos that will pass down your family stories & hold life’s most tender memories.
In essence, I artistically 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
