Meet
Sarah Sloboda

Ever since I was a young child, I was obsessed with the fact that human memory is finite. When I discovered the camera’s ability to make a record of a moment in time, I thought it was a divine gift to overcome this limitation. I have adored photography since I was kid looking at magazines, wondering why my point-and-shoot camera's photos didn't look like that. Now, I make magazine-worthy photos of loving moments so people can remember.

Kind Words

“more beautiful than I imagined”
We received the album today, and we love it so much! It’s even more beautiful than I imagined! We had such a wonderful time working with you, and the photos will hold such a special place in our lives. Thank you so much.

“a true talent”
Sarah is a lovely, professional and very talented photographer. Sarah seems to float on air as she captures the perfect moments making your day with her quite enjoyable. It’s like having your best friend photograph the day’s events. The photographs are quite carefree while being very artfully arranged. She is a true talent!

“easy to work with”
We enjoyed working with Sarah so much we engaged her to spend a half day with us taking a whole portfolio of family photos around the Golden Gate Bridge area. Sarah was incredibly easy to work with. We were blown away by the results, and got framed prints for our home and my office, and a large print on metal, which has drawn rave reviews.

“...we look better”
Sarah is able to capture us in a way that's hard to accurately describe. We look like us. We recognize ourselves. But...we look better. She somehow takes pictures of us interacting with each other, and makes us look good doing it. She is magical with kids and children's portraits. Somehow, she takes their energy and brings it into her work–with spectacular results. If you look at her portfolio, that is a small but accurate sample of her work. All of our pictures look that good. All. Of. Them. It's hard to just choose a few after a session with her, TBH.

“ease, comfortability and spontaneity”
Sarah is fantastic! We have worked with her multiple times and love every experience! I’ve never seen someone capture families the way she does—with ease, comfortability and spontaneity. She has such a gift for seeing kids in just the right light, and for making us feel great about celebrating ourselves with the awesome memory of the images she helps us grab!

“truly magical”
Sarah is truly magical! The moments she manages to capture are reflections of my two daughters’ personalities and their relationship with one another. I cannot say enough about her work. Plus, she is the nicest, easiest person to work with—even my spirited five year old loves her!

“our family photographer for 4 years”
We have been working with Sarah as our family photographer for 4 years and have always been very pleased with our photo sessions and the results. She is wonderful with engaging my kids and getting the best natural shots in a short period of time with perfect backdrop locations. She captures the true essence of our family in every session.

“such a natural working with the kids”
We have worked with Sarah three times over the last 4 years. My three boys are not the most willing photo participants but she is able to get the most amazing family photos every single time. She has great energy and is such a natural working with the kids. Sarah is always able to capture such natural expressions and photographs our family so beautifully. I can't recommend her enough.

Photographs that are
Uniquely You

There's no one else like you! I started out my career wanting to be a film director and I see everyone I photograph as the star of their own show. Each session is truly different, reflecting who you are right now.
