About Sari

A natural-light photographer who's great with kids

I create timeless, heartfelt images that reflect the real you.

Based in Sebastopol, photographing families and schools across Sonoma County and the greater Bay Area for over 22 years.

My specialty is family and school portraits: natural light, relaxed poses, real laughs instead of forced smiles. I get down on the floor with toddlers, wait out meltdowns, and know how to earn a genuine grin from a five-year-old — that's how the best photos happen.
