Introduction: Hi there! I'm Sarah: an Oakland (California) based photographer. I believe in a simply joyful life! I'm all about real emotions, vibrant colors, and truly enjoying the moment! Less posing, more you! :)
I've also been an ICU nurse for over 10 years. As a nurse, I love the connections that I make with all kinds of people in the most vulnerable times of their lives, and being there for complete strangers when they need it the most. But working in trauma and dealing with death and tragedy on a daily basis does take a toll. So in 2016 I made a conscious decision to move toward photography, where I found that I could experience the same genuine connections during important times in peoples' lives, but in a joyful way! (And as an extra plus, nothing stresses me out since I've been trained to respond thoughtfully and swiftly in intense situations! Nursing and photography have more in common than you think!)
I crave honest human connections, and I'd love to get to know you as much as possible in whatever time we have together! That's what life is all about anyway (and it makes for the most authentic photos)!
Send me a message and let's get this adventure started! :)
