Being asked to document family legacies is an incredible honor and I know that as much as these images mean to you right now, their importance just grows over time and they will be priceless to you later in life, and later in your children's lives, as they're handed down from generation to generation. I try to approach every session with that in mind and I urge you to take a couple seconds to think of that in the middle of frantically trying to schedule a session for this year's holiday photo, or to check a box for a milestone in your kid's life.

I can't wait to tell your family's story. 

I split my time between Minneapolis and Seattle, which means I get to have one foot in both of my favorite places on Earth. I live this beautiful life with my husband, Jeff, and our giant dogs (a Newfoundland named Wyatt + a Saint Bernard named Cricket!). 

When I put down my camera I generally pick up a beer and head to stage right at a concert, or jump in my kayak to explore Puget Sound, or I grab my camera again to create photos for the best companies and organizations around.

Thea’s approach is to capture the energy and spirit of each occasion. Her process involves striking a balance between portraiture and photojournalism, taking care with composition, gently guiding the shot, yet not stepping in the way of the natural progression.

She believes your photos shouldn't look like everyone else's; they should look like yours.


LOVE YOU MORE!

“We loved our session with Sara. She is a talented photographer who possesses an ability to read a child’s mood and work with them in the most gracious way. (She does the same with their parents, too.)

We had so much fun during our session, and we absolutely love and treasure the photos we have of our family.”

"We love the photos Sara has taken of our toddler! She really captures the little moments that spotlight our daughter's personality. It's priceless to see not only how my daughter looked at a certain age, but her artfully captured movements and emotions. Can't recommend Sara's thoughtful and engaging photography enough."
