branding photography with a modern lifestyle approach
Hey there!
I’m Sara, and I am passionate about crafting compelling visual narratives that resonate deeply with brand audiences.
With over a decade’s worth of experience in the photography industry, I’ve learned to understand and appreciate the work that goes into creating a strong brand identity.
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work in many different roles on production sets — photographer, creative producer, production assistant, food and props stylist. If there’s a camera rolling, count me in!
I’ve always been known as the one carrying around a camera. Anyone else bring their 110 film camera to school every day in third grade? No? Just me?! In 2009, I decided to take the leap and started my business as a family photographer. Then in 2019, I started freelancing for two luxury dating companies, which is where my passion for personal branding photography began. By 2022, I had more freelance gigs coming in as well as an amazing opportunity to work alongside Mallard Agency as their Creative Producer and In-House Photographer.
It all comes down to this — I love to help people feel confident, and I am passionate about helping others succeed.
AS SEEN IN
a sneak peek into my life
SHOPPING
Well, not really. But clothing in general, YES.
I am not your typical shopaholic girl. Actually, I loathe shopping. I tend to stick with my favorite brands and buy online. My favorites include: Madewell, Bella Dahl, Billabong, O’Neill, RVCA, and Alo has become a new recent fave.
GROWTH MINDSET
I’m far from perfect but always trying to do and be better than yesterday.
Life is all about making mistakes and learning from them. I think the most important thing is to not be too hard on yourself, and be surrounded by others who inspire you and support your growth.
TRAVEL BUG
Okay, but really…who doesn’t love to travel?!
Some of my most favorite, beautiful places I’ve been fortunate enough to experience are Hawaii, Barcelona, Vilnius, Cabo, Dominican Republic. And of course my camera roll is full of scenic photos. I have to admit though, of all the places to travel to I mostly enjoy the beach. I’m a sucker for warm weather and the sound of the ocean.
ROAD TRIP ANYONE?
Alright, well I don’t actually take many road trips but I’m in my car a LOT.
All moms out there can relate to this — my car feels like my sanctuary. It’s peaceful, it’s my time to decompress, listen to music, catch up on phone calls. And with my line of work, I am always clocking the miles on those wheels. Don’t ask me about my gas and toll fee usage. Yikes.
