As a design studio manager, I worked with Sarah on product and lifestyle photography for several clients. No matter how simple or complex the art direction, she exceeded our expectations every time. On the days when she'd deliver our proofs, we'd all circle the conference room in anticipation of her work. She could make even the most difficult products come to life in an ethereal light. What is unique about working with Sarah is that she used to be a creative director and brand strategist. As such, she knows how to quickly and accurately interpret a brand's look, tone, and feel through photography. Her natural talent and eye for the "perfect shot" is uncanny. She also helped several of our clients establish photography brand standards that set them up for success beyond a one-off shoot. I cannot stress enough what a valuable asset Sarah is for any team or individual looking to take their brand to the next level. Photography is an essential part of that endeavor, and she delivers. Seeing the world through Sarah's lens is truly a privilege, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. More...

I can't thank Sarah enough for shooting the most flattering, yet professional, photo of me in decades. I get so many compliments from colleagues. She has a wonderful eye and attention to detail. Sarah is also a professional at the highest level and great to work with. She even provided suggestions for clothing and hair that would work best in the portrait. I will definitely be recommending her to others. More...

Sarah did an amazing job. She was professional and friendly, and the results were great. I'd never gotten compliments on my author photos before, but people have lots of great things to say about the image she capture.

Sarah photographed a networking event in a private room of a restaurant for us.

Would definitely recommend Sarah for freelance photography work in the Seattle area! More...

Sarah was such a joy to work with. She listened to my needs and made sure I was happy with the results throughout the entire session. It can be difficult to capture “candid” for a professional headshot, but Sarah made it easy with her genuinely friendly conversation and knowing exactly what to ask/say to get that perfect emotion to captured. I can see why photography is her calling. More...

I highly recommend working with Sarah. I came to her with a big request, which was to photograph all of the products in my portfolio as I wasn’t happy with the previous photos I had. Sarah was so patient and understanding and worked so hard on the photos. She delivered amazing work which has drastically changed the look and feel of my brand. I am looking forward to working with her again very soon! More...

Working with Sarah on my Amazon product photography was a pure delight! I knew that I wanted to be involved in-person at the shoot and even include my dog. Sarah was open and enthusiastic about that and told me that she knew she could make my doormats look fantastic - sold! She blended my ideas, my doormats and my dog Sadie with her expertise, talent and great equipment and the results were some really great product photography! In my view she is an excellent balance of warmth and professionalism. More...

Thank you for your review, Carol, it was a pleasure working with you and I know you'll be successful in your new venture.
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
A complete understanding of the client's objective and commercial needs is the foundation. What I strive for is to add that little "extra" and bring it over the top and help the client stand out from their competitors while achieving their goals.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What is the most important message you want your image to convey?
What do you love most about your job?
I love the flexibility and unpredictability of running my own studio. Whether it is a Fortune 500 company or a new startup, I live for the reaction of a happy client who feels proud of their images and confident they have the very best assets to work with.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I discovered my love for photography through working in branding and marketing for many years. Getting recognized as a photographer takes a lot of work and dedication. It's not easy. Having my own studio allows me to put in the time & focus needed to create work I am proud of.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am a unique type of photographer because of my background as a creative director. I can run solo on a job when the budget doesn't have room for an AD, but I also love working with creative directors on set. I get where they are coming from and what they need to accomplish, essentially we speak the same language. My deep understanding of branding and marketing fuels my images. Combined with my desire to shoot timeless images – it packs a powerful punch.
