hello, friend!

My name is Sarah Jean but you can call me SJ. My pronouns are they/her. I have been working as a photographer since 2010 and I absolutely LOVE IT & even though we may not know each other yet, I love you too.

Want to know something? I think you’re fantastic. You are good and beautiful and handsome and lovely as you are, reading my website copy. You belong as your fully authentic self. Your light deserves to shine wherever you go and I hope you don’t believe anyone who tells you otherwise.
We are told things to the contrary when you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community sometimes and because I cherish you and every color of our rainbow family, it is my mission to help you see yourself in a more positive light through photographs. Whether it’s a portrait session in the studio where it’s safe to be you and express who you are fully, or on your wedding day saying “I do” to your beloved. As your photographer I am here to make sure you feel safe and valued.
