A little about me: Originally from the Southwest, with Midwest roots, and now living in the heart of the West Coast, I have been shooting photos and videos for over 10 years.
Half of me is a full blown creative that loves to create, brainstorm and problem solve, and the other half loves data, organization and excel sheets. As a natural helper and collaborative partner, I love to provide resources to help others level up and achieve their dreams. I'm very much detail-oriented, and intrinsically driven.
Personality breakdown: Sun in Aquarius, Rising + Moon in Aries; Enneagram is 2w3;, and personality type is INFP.
Outside of camera work, I have a wide range of hobbies and interests, including thrifting + all things vintage, DIY projects, gardening herbs + vegetables, cooking and adapting dishes to be vegetarian + gluten-free for my partner, and hosting dinner parties to build community. I'm all for the theatre and enjoy attending shows in my spare time.
I'm Sara, your honest caring sidekick.

who's "not photogenic"
"Love the art in yourself, not yourself in the art"
