A little about me...


I was introduced to the modeling industry when I was young. I was six years old when I started modeling for local boutiques. After that, modeling became a passion and I worked with many outstanding photographers until "retiring" around 22 years old. During my teen years, I worked at a photographer's studio where I helped with posing, hair, makeup, lighting. Why I never thought about being on the other side of the camera? I am not really sure, to be honest. I guess I didn't know that I had it in me...yet.


As I got older, life got busy! I worked towards and obtained multiple degrees in education and literacy, became a super cool first grade teacher, got married to a really handsome guy, got the best doggo ever, and had my beautiful daughter. So many BIG things happened in just a few years. During this time, photography was still near and dear to my heart. I never forgot the value of good quality pictures and would often reach out to my photographer friends to capture my special moments.


After having my daughter, I quickly realized that I wanted to take good quality photos of her all the time (I mean how could I not...she is just so darn cute). So I did what any sensible woman would do! I bought my own camera and took around a million pictures of my cute baby girl's face. But that's just where it started. I could be the one creating art, capturing moments, making others happy, and making people feel pretty! Being a photographer has changed my life in so many wonderful ways. It has most definitely made me realize the value of a moment in time.

“Sahara was an absolute dream to work with! We had been with the same photographer for almost tens years but due to health issues she was no longer taking photos. I was super nervous to work with another photographer but Sahara was amazing! She has great communication, was quick about coming up with poses and getting us into them, and probably the most impressive thing was that she got a family photo (with three little kids) with everyone looking at the camera! All the photos came out perfect”
