I'm a self taught photographer who has had the honor of being trained by some awesome mentors. However, my inspiration for mastering photography was the adventures that comes with being raised by a very bold, diversity based, adventurer - my blind father.


As I result, I am an incredibly versatile documentarian. I love photographing Portraits of all types, Branding images to show you and your dream off to , Events of every genre, Nature in action sessions and Food in all its glory, lol. I have a lifestyle modern, fun, vibrant, and bohemian-esque style. session is carefully crafted to who you are and I maximize on my skills and talents so you can truly shine.

I love humor! I think making and sharing food is medicine. One of my life goals is to visit as many hot mineral springs throughout our globe. Helping others see the beauty in themselves with my photography is one way I show gratitude for life!


When I'm not behind the camera, you will find me discovering new places to explore with my puppy, surrounded by music in some way, sharing space with family and friends and planning my next photographic adventure!

Sasha was fantastic. She was easy to coordinate with, made us extremely comfortable from the get-go, directed us perfectly, and left us with truly spectacular photos. She has a knack for finding the perfect angles and the perfect lighting, and she's really fun to be around. We couldn't be happier!

    Sasha is not only an exceptional photographer with supreme talent, but an incredible human being with the most kind and warm spirit! She did a photoshoot for my 2 year old's birthday, covering the event as well as doing portraits for our family. From the onset, she was remarkable in every aspect…not only was she responsive and professional but also very accommodating and personable! She spent a long time on the phone with me to discuss the project. I was initially very nervous because my baby had stranger anxiety and is camera shy. Sasha put me at ease right away, sharing ideas about how she would make it a fun for my baby and ease her into it. She was very meticulous in noting all my requirements and very cooperative with all my demands. On the day of the photoshoot, she came early to help us setup and got some props and play things for my baby. I was very touched to see how loving she was with my baby and carried her around to make her feel at ease. Everyone in our family loved her and she made the whole process so seamless. Sasha was also very patient and diligent during the subsequent phase of reviews and edits. I have to admit, I'm not an easy person to please but when I saw the finished deliverables with beautiful pictures and absolutely stunning video, I was floored! Despite the low light condition indoors, her photos came our brilliant and vibrant. Best of all, she made everyone look gorgeous! :) LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her work! Sasha will be our go to person for all our photography needs going forward. I would recommend her whole-heartedly for any events as well as personal and professional photoshoots.

    Sasha is beyond amazing! We just had our photos taken on Saturday at the beach and here we are on Wednesday getting the photos, and all of them are beautiful! I was so nervous ahead of time because you never know what you're going to get with taking photos with a one year old, but she was fantastic with our little girl and made her laugh so much! We will definitely be using her again for all our future family photography! 5 enthusiastic stars :)

    We have had the pleasure to work with Sasha for all the milestones in our son's first year of life. We first met Sasha at the hospital when she arrived to take photos of our first moments with our baby. During such an intense time, Sasha's sweet and laid back personality really put us at ease...making our photos all the more natural. Sasha has a wonderful way with little ones. Literally from day one, our son was comfortable with her. For our son's 6 months photos, we were still figuring out how to juggle nap times and getting to places on time. Sasha was so understanding and was willing to work with us. More recently, Sasha took photos at our son's first birthday party. With a bunch of little ones crawling and toddling around, Sasha seamlessly fit right in...getting down on hands and knees, or even belly, to meet the kids at eye level to catch the perfect shot! All the kids loved her and she was able to capture so many amazing moments that I didn't even realize were happening. At our one year family portrait photos at the beach, Sasha was able to use the environment to come up with unexpected shots that turned out stunning. We look forward to working with Sasha in the future!

    I absolutely loved Sasha and her professional photography session. I have a 1 month old Lil girl that has casts on her feet and Sasha made these photos to work around that and the photos turned out wonderfully !! I'm a star wars lover so she took the time to try to find anything star wars because I was having trouble finding anything . She also takes the time to see what your ideas are and if you like what's going on in the session she braught a lot of props w her as well that made this experience amazing . I will be having more sessions w her as my Lil girl gets older and a Lil less fussy but Sasha was the sweetest and kindest to my Lil one took time out held her and even fed her. She showed us a lot of love and patience. I would definitely recommend Sasha for any event or just photos of your child family etc.

    Sasha did my family beach photoshoot while on vacation in LA. Her personality was warm and kind, especially working with a cranky baby. She was extremely helpful with the poses, and captured the exact beach/sunset setting we wanted. The photos were timely & PERFECT! Book her!

    If I could give Sasha 10 stars I would! I could not have had a better experience with her for my 40th Birthday Party. Not only is she professional and energetic but she is also an extremely talented photographer. Several of my 100+ guests had positive things to say about her during the party and the 900 pictures I received after the party were fantastic. BOOK HER FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT NOW!!!

    Sasha is incredible!!


    I was so nervous when I needed to find a photographer online but I am so happy that I found Sasha! Such a blessing! She photographed my nephew's bris on and was absolutely amazing. We have so many wonderful photos to choose from now and we are so thankful for Sasha. She took many great candid shots during the event but also some great portrait shots of our family. Sasha also took some wonderful baby photos. You can tell she has done this before and she certainly knows what she is doing!! We got our edited photos within a few days of our event which we were so appreciative of! Thank you, thank you!! I would definitely recommend Sasha for any event or just photos of your babies/children/families.

    Sasha was a pleasure to work with! She immediately reached out to my inquiry for a maternity shoot photographer and spoke with me about my "vision" for the shoot. She really captured the natural, beachy and artsy vibe I was looking for! She was directive and knew how to pose us, yet also was very open to our own suggestions and desires. We had a lot of fun working with her, and best of all, she captured some beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. She is truly a professional in every way. Highly recommended!
