Familiefotografen in San Francisco

I get very much fascinated by photographing people. Headshots, kids, family, couples, fashion, events, concerts. I love to do any kind of portraits using professional photo studio for fine art portraits, portable lights for environmental portraits, natural light for casual portraits. I'm doing fashion photography for local clothing brands using models. I'm building a portfolio for actors/models, also helping them to show through pictures their best sides. Constantly promoting myself as a photographer by creating seasonal mini photo sessions. I'm really opened for the advertising field, like taking pictures of a product. I'm working a lot with not profit organizations, and personal project. I'm good at corporate and non-corporate event photography. I'm doing a lot of small video jobs for bloggers, also small video clips (3-5 min) for events, family gathering, couples. Wedding photography is on my list. My photography education is AA Photography at Foothill College.

I am an Oakland-based portrait and lifestyle photographer. I've always been fascinated by stories and the emotions that make them so moving and memorable. Perhaps this is why I chose to study Journalism and Communication in the early millennium. That time in college solidified my passion for visual storytelling and photography. As the decade progressed, I advanced my professional career in my home country, Brazil, working with the Press Office and Marketing, where I had numerous opportunities to use my photography skills in corporate events and branding shoots. Today, I am content and fulfilled because I am able to work directly with my clients and tell their stories with the same professionalism and a lot more love.

My name is Sara, and I’m a Swedish photographer living in the Bay Area. I’ve had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember. My photographs are inspired by my love of nature and light. I’m looking forward to seeing you through my lens.

I have been a professional photographer for over 20 years. We specialize in headshots and Personal Branding Portraits. We help our clients create beautiful photographs that rebuild their brand and tell their story. Personal Branding Portraits goes beyond the traditional headshot and illustrates the heart of your business. People want to know who is behind the products and services they are buying. They want to know why you do what you do and what it would look like if they bought into your business. They want you to show them, not tell them how your business is… and that is what Personal Branding Portraits provide. With years of experience we understand the many details that go through making our clients look their best. We will collaborate and strategize in creating images to be used in your marketing, promotional, and brand content areas. Our goal is to go above and beyond to exceed our client’s expectations. It is our mission to have every client satisfied and happy with our work. Here is some of what our clients have said, “I wanted a more professional headshot for my book cover. She has the highest standards in quality when it comes to photography. We went through 2 to 3 different outfit changes in one session. And the results is no comparison my other headshots I've had before”. ​

I started shooting in the 1970s as a teenager in the SF East Bay and worked as a professional in NYC during the 80s and 90s before transitioning to a marketing career. I've recently returned to photography full-time.
