CALIFORNIA NATIVE,
PNW BASED,
FAN OF FRIENDSHIP 
AND
INTENTIONAL LIVING.

I'm Sandra. I'm an old soul trapped inside a 30 year old body. I'm a wife to the sweetest guy and mom to two miracles babes. I'm usually out on a walk with my kids or finding some reason to stop at a thrift store. My go-to dinner is the carniceria in Bellingham and I'm fully convinced you can't ever eat too much Mexican food.

I love photography for so many reasons. The main one being getting to meet you. I want to get to really know you; I want to be your friend. I want to capture who you are as a unique individual - the unique, beautiful person you are, that no one else is.

I want to transport you back to the most special moments of your life. Whether that's running through the kitchen with your 2 year old, or marrying the love of your life,
I want to help you remember how it all felt.

I lean heavily documentary - observing your relationships while gently directing. 
I put my whole heart into helping you feel prepared and at ease in front of the camera. Making sure you're seen, heard, and feeling yourself.

I'm here to serve, honor, and celebrate you every step of the way.

I'VE HAD A CAMERA IN HAND SINCE 2008.
I'VE ALWAYS FELT CONNECTED TO CAPTURING MOMENTS AND EMPHASIZING HUMAN BEAUTY.

-Sarcasm is my love language.
-I'm a big (small) detail person. I thrive off of the littlest things being cared for with tons of love.
-I will probably use a lot of exclamation points in my emails!!!!!!!! (don't be freaked  out - I'm just really excited about everything)
-I firmly believe in being a cat AND dog person - why can't ya love both?
-I've been to 12 countries and I hope to always  travel - even if it's with a cranky 2 year old in tow. 
-At one point I had 28 plants in my house. It was a jungle.
-If you don't like to giggle we're probably a bad fit. I think laughter is literally the best medicine.
-I'm not huge into knowing what I want to do with my life; I'd rather feel it out as it ebbs and flows. 
-​I take things seriously, but like, not TOO seriously. 
-I will watch Seinfeld, ALWAYS. There's no episode that I've seen "too many times."
-I would rather spend money on a plane ticket than shoes or clothes; hence, why I'm a thrift queen.
-I think about the ramen I ate in Japan often. 
-Selena Quintanilla is my actual icon of choice; perfect in unlimited ways.


If you want a photographer who will be a pal, let's chat.

I'm all about making new friends.

I can not say enough good things about Sandra! She creates such a relaxed environment that lead to beautiful, timeless, and candid moments to be captured in time. I will cherish the photos she captured and I could not be more pleased with the way they turned out. She has great communication before and after your session. She is professional and fun. I can not recommend Sandra enough!

Finding someone to capture your big day is one of the toughest things to do. When I met Sandra, I knew she would embrace every real detail of our wedding, and truly bring out the best in us. She did all of that and more, and we’ve been so thankful to have such beautiful photos to look back on. She doesn’t just take photos, she takes photos of who we are as people, and highlights on our inner beauty. Sandra is professional, kind, and very down to earth (which can be so important to nervous brides!) I’ll definitely be going to her future photography needs, and can’t recommend her work enough.

Sandra is such a sweet soul and a beautiful photographer who knows how to capture true moments that you’ll treasure forever. It’s always nice to have a photographer who knows how to navigate a larger family (and ever changing temperaments) and get honest and beautiful shots that represent each family member so well.
You’ll love Sandra as we do!
