Family and Senior Portraits on the Central Coast of California

Are you a mom who just wants some updated family portraits? Maybe you're the mom of a high school senior in need of some senior portraits?

Does the idea of finding a photographer kind of freak you out because you don't want to pay for your children to be miserable and hate the experience altogether? You really want some great pictures that aren't super posed because that's just not who your kids are but at the same time you just want that one good picture where they're looking at the camera and smiling?

Well, I'm your girl and I am so glad we met!

Hi, I'm Sara!

Wife • Mom • Photographer

Taking family and senior portraits in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties.

When I'm not taking pictures you can catch me at the park with my kiddo, watching Gilmore Girls, reading some form of a thriller (psychological are my favs!), or doing housework.... not the most fun option, but at least I'm honest!

"I don’t even know where to start!! I FORGOT that senior photos were due December 1st. So in a panic I googled photographers near me. I went to her Instagram and loved her work so I messaged her and immediately she got back to me and offered to shoot my sons senior pictures the NEXT day!! I told her my son hates having his pictures taken and she agreed on a quick photo shoot and she did not disappoint!! She was amazing and we are so incredibly happy with her work!! I can’t wait for her to do our youngest son’s senior photos!"

"I have counted on Sara numerous times to capture our family's milestones from smash cake sessions, special birthdays, and rodeo to extended family photographs and everything in between! She is thorough, creative, and has an eye for detail. I can't wait to have her do my daughters Senior portraits this Summer!"

"Sara did such an amazing job on my son's senior photos! He wasn't sure what to expect, and was a little nervous at first - but by the end of the session he actually said, "I like having my picture taken! This is fun!" The photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. We are absolutely thrilled with them all. From the moment I contacted Sara about a senior photo session, she was quick to respond, professional, and just a pleasure to work with! Looking forward to having her capture more of our families photos in the future!"
