PRICING

All my photographs are scanned as digital negatives after creation in medium format and 35mm film and provided to you via an easy digital download.

WHY DO I SHOOT FILM?

It’s simply more beautiful, and it doesn’t suffer from digital photography editing fads. The power of photography is that it’s for keeping, but many digital fashions don’t age well.

Once you hold your prints in your hands, you’ll be able to tell the difference. Film has soul.

I’m available across Melbourne and right around the Mornington Peninsula and my travel fee is included in your session.

  • A woman with long hair holding a young girl, surrounded by four children, in a cozy living room.

    “Sarah is as beautiful, honest and magical as the memories she captures for the families lucky enough to be photographed by her. Over the years and the number of sessions we've had with Sarah, she's become a part of our family; so much so, that my children are very excited at the mention she will be visiting for a session. Thank you Sarah for sharing your magic with us”.

    — Anya P, 2021, 2019, 2015, 2014.

  • Young boy with curly hair lying on his back with arms raised above his head, looking at the camera with a serious expression, shirtless.

    "Oh my, Sarah! These are just so flipping glorious. You've beautifully captured the nuances + quirks of us. I'm in a state of laughing-crying all at once. This is the first time I've seen photos of myself and had such a visceral reaction". Much love xxx

    — Nina H, 2021

  • A woman and a young child holding hands and walking outdoors in a sunlit natural setting with trees and sandy ground.

    “We love love love them! We have such lovely memories of that day. When we were looking through these R kept asking "can I see Sarah? Where is she??" Thank you thank you thank you. I love these more and more each day, your heart truly lives in your lens.

    — Jerusha S, 2019

  • A black-and-white photo of a family in a living room. A man and woman are holding a baby, while two children, probably a boy and a girl, are playing hold hands and running around. A woman on the right is sitting on a chair, using a laptop, with a framed dog artwork on the wall behind her.

    "Hi Sarah, Just wanted to let you know how beautiful our family photos are. The prints we got for Christmas were stunning. You captured our family perfectly, we were all in tears watching the slideshow on Christmas Day... I guess that shows how much we all loved them. I couldn't possibly pick one above the other, looks like I'll just have to show them all (might need to buy a bigger house with more wall space!). Thank you again for capturing our loving, beautiful family."

    — Bec S, 2016, 2021, 2022 booked.

  • Silhouette of a woman and a child touching noses behind a lace curtain with floral patterns.

    “Sarah captured the heart of our family on film and these photos will be cherished forever in our home. Sarah is easy going, thorough and made us feel so comfortable from the get go. We hope to have another family session soon and couldn't recommend her enough.”

    — Helen A, 2021
