About
Restoration: Photos are irreplaceable treasures...So are families. For 25 years, I have had the honor of repairing precious relics with the utmost care they deserve. The joy that comes from helping my clients rescue a part of their family history is indescribable. Wedding & Portrait Photography: In describing her art, Sara Hertel says, "My work is a reaction to beauty; The less obvious the beauty, the greater my captivation. It's my aim to sneak up on the world-- to quietly capture what is real and true." It is with this appreciation for authenticity that Sara archives the intrinsic elements of her subjects and events. Her work seeks to evoke emotion by capturing the subtleties of her surroundings organically. Sara is a native of Portland, Oregon. Her work has been exhibited in multi-format installations and published internationally. She concentrates in music industry publicity, freestyle portraiture, and gritty street photography.

Sara communicated very clearly what she would be able to do and her reasonable cost estimate. And she lives in Oregon, my home state.

Sara is an outstanding professional. She digitized over 100 years of family photos and portrait photos. We gave her the photos organized in a do zen shoe boxes and in a week got our pictures back. In another week or two we picked up the zThumb-drive with 5-6 copies (4 our kids) Everything was done by drop off, phone, email and text. Perfect for COVID 19. Throughout Sara was great to work with: friendly Considerate. Professional Knowledgeable Capable organized and she exceeded our expectation. I recommend her without hesitation . We are thrilled with the results ( a TEN).

Sara was amazing. Our photographer bailed on us 3 days before our wedding. I contacted sara and she responded and stepped in and made our day special. Even if sara hadn't taken pictures for our wedding, she was just fun to hang out with!! We are going to use her again when we take our family photos! Thanks Sara!

Though it's been some years now, I am still pained by the fact that she lost some of my most treasured originals.. All I now have are very shoddy copied pictures.

Sara Hertel Photography's reply
Hi Leisa, It is definitely unfortunate you didn't pick up your photos in person like I suggested and they got lost in transit. Sadly, items lost in the mail system is out of my control..even when they are insured. I'll continue to advise against mailing precious photographs to all my clients. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

Sara was great to work with! Very friendly and Professional. Punctual, which is important in a time crunch. It made my “one last project” so easy to accomplish. I couldn’t be happier!
