THE EXPERIENCE
Who They Are, Right Now
A Legacy Session is about holding on to who your dog is, right now, while you still have this time together. I create images that feel alive: the way they lean into you, the gray around their muzzle, the softness in their eyes.
We move entirely at their pace, gently and without pressure, so the day feels calm for both of you. What you'll carry home isn't just photographs. It's the whole feeling of your love, kept somewhere you can return to whenever you need it.
For pets in their final chapter...

THEIR STORIES
Behind the scenes of a Legacy Session
Sophie, Adam & Liz
Sophie's parents reached out because, at sixteen, she was beginning to slow down, and the time they had left with her was an unknown they didn't want to leave to chance.
So, we spent a morning at one of her favorite places in the world: the beach. And Sophie showed us she still had plenty of life in her, breaking into her signature senior zoomies across the sand.
Photos capturing the joy, the sand, and the sweet moments between
Sophie and the family who loves her were turned into a gorgeous heirloom album.
Elji & Michelle
Elji was only seven when cancer took over. His mom called me in urgency, so we fit in a session the very next day. He could no longer walk, but that didn't matter. We carried him to a few beautiful spots around a park in Pasadena and captured him exactly as he was: still handsome, still deeply loved.
In his final images, I gently touched up the places where his fur had been shaved, so his family could remember the pup they'd always known.
Some sessions can't wait, and I'm so grateful I got to give Elji's family this one.
Sophie & Katie
Katie called me when Sophie wasn't getting better. She had tried everything, but illness was taking over, and she wanted to hold onto the time they had left.
So we went to the beach across the street from Sophie's home, one of her favorite places in the world. Sophie was so tired that day. But somehow, for her mom, she found the energy for one last romp in the sand.
We captured all of it: her joy, her spirit, and the love between Sophie and Katie in their final chapter together.
HOW IT WORKS
The Process
1
Inquiry Form
Tell me about your dog and where things stand, including any health needs or mobility limits I should plan around. Urgent sessions are prioritized and scheduled as soon as possible.
2
Planning
We'll talk by phone or text about what matters most to you, then choose a location shaped around your dog's comfort: your home, my studio, or somewhere meaningful you've shared together.
3
The Session
No prep, no special outfits, no pressure to perform. Rest breaks are built in, and we can shoot from a blanket on the floor if that's where they're most comfortable.
4
Gallery Delivery
Your images are ready within three weeks, to view on your own timeline. Then we'll decide together if you'd like any prints or albums beyond your complimentary Crystal Block.
ART THAT LASTS
Albums, Wall Art &
Memorial Keepsakes
Photos on a phone get lost. Every Legacy Session is designed to end in something you can hold: handcrafted heirloom albums, museum-quality framed wall art, and keepsakes like the Crystal Block, made to honor your dog for years to come.
When the years go by, these are the pieces that will matter most. The ones you can hold in your hands and say, "That was us."

Adam G.
Our dog Sophie is 16.5 years old. Having an old dog is really hard, and the fun, exciting days are fewer and farther between. Sophie lit up for the camera on the night of her shoot, and we had the best night with her. These photos will hang on our walls forever, but the memory of this night with her will forever mean
the world to me.

It's clear that Sarah has found her calling. Her love for her subjects is unmistakable. My dog is aging, and his eyes are getting a bit cloudy. I don't know what she did, but his beautiful honey-colored eyes are vivid and bright in every photo.
This means a lot to me.

I've always loved her work and was fortunate enough to snag a bit of her time with my sick dog earlier this year... She captured the most perfect photos of my girl Bertie. She gets the vision... she brings it to life with so much love and creativity and leaves you these moments you'll remember for ever.

We were so grateful we got to shoot with Sarah when we were in LA a few weeks ago. Her level of professionalism and talent are unmatched! Photos of my rescue pups are something I will treasure forever. Talented, patient, creative, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Thank you, Sarah!
