HOW IT WORKS

01 Discovery Call

Let’s get to know each other! Tell me about your brand, what we’ll be shooting, and the end goal for the images. I’m here to answer all your questions about the process, working with me and to help you pick a package or design one that works best for you.

02 Pre-Production

It’s time to get into all the nitty gritty details. Let’s pick a date, sign your contract, and get to work!  Once you’ve secured your date, we’ll schedule a pre-production meeting where we’ll talk through your shot list in detail, plan the shoot day, and delegate tasks like booking models, acquiring props or ingredients, and location scouting. I’ll also be available to you by phone or email throughout the entirety of the process to help with anything you might need!

03 Shoot

It’s time to take your ideas and thoughtful planning and bring it to life! I always encourage you to be on set so you can select hero shots and make any adjustments as needed to ensure that we’re capturing your vision.

04 Edit

Throughout the shoot, you’ll go through and mark your hero shots. I always take out dust and impermanent blemishes (acne, etc.), if there’s further retouching you’d like done, let me know and I’ll make a note of it! After the shoot, I’ll work my magic according to our day of discussion.

05 Deliver

I’ll deliver the photos in your preferred format via a download link. I retain the copyright for all my images, but all of my contracts include licensing in perpetuity which means the images are yours to post and share how you wish but not to sell to third parties.

SERVICES

Below are typical shoots I offer, if you don’t see something that works for you, please reach out. I’m always willing to do custom quotes! For a detailed list of my prices and packages, please request a pricing guide through my Inquiry Form.

Half Day Shoot

Half day shoots are 4-5 hours. They are great if you have a small, curated shot list that only requires one location. Perfect for adding a new product to your line up, shooting seasonal menu items, or refreshing your teams head shots.

Full Day Shoot

Full day shoots are 8-10 hours and give you tons of flexibility. There’s plenty of time for multiple locations and variety in talent or sets. This is a great option for building an initial image library or for adding variety in one you already have!

Content Creation Subscription

My content creation subscription is for clients who need consistent , updated content throughout the year. I have several packages to suit different needs ranging from bi-annually to monthly. For more details, please request a pricing guide through my Inquiry Form.

  • “Sara listens to your vision and will do the work to make sure she adapts to the goal of the project. She offers advice on body placement with consideration and compassion. As an underrepresented individual, I feel safe with her because she helps lift me up. She is non-judgemental and she makes sure to listen to what I am trying to get out of the photo. Sara has an eye for concept, framing and contrast, always directing the subject to the sunlight.”

She made our clients {chefs} feel comfortable enough that she was able to capture lovely candid shots of them, in addition to shots of their plated dishes. She was also ready and able to adapt to the variety of spacial and time constraints at different locations. I’m so glad we were able to work with her!”
