It's your story.

I don't just show up and take photographs; we collaborate to design a custom experience. It has to be custom, because what we are creating together is more than a digital file—we are designing physical, heirloom artwork for your walls.

I want to document the real you. Each small, quiet connection within your family. Those babies of yours—the way they feel, the way they smell, the way they sound. I want you to sit on the edge of your bed when you’re 97 years old, look up at one of these pieces, and be transported through the decades. Back to a feeling that might otherwise have been lost in the speed at which we live our lives.

Your session can take place anywhere that feels deeply meaningful—in the intimacy of your home, or outdoors in a location that reflects your story. I have a curated collection of beautiful, quiet places I can recommend, chosen for their perfect light and peaceful energy.

For one hour, the rush of life pauses. We’ll explore, we’ll play, we’ll laugh. This part of the process is simply about slowing down and really seeing each other. If you lean into that connection, I will translate it into tangible treasures.

The following week, we meet for your Artwork Design Session. You’ll see your story unfold, and together we will select the perfect physical pieces for your home. Printed on fine cotton paper and custom-framed in natural timber, we ensure your memories become an exquisite, permanent anchor for your family.

Client Reviews

“Wow! Sarah was so amazing to work with. She really exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t be happier with our photos. Our photo shoot felt so relaxed and Sarah made it feel more like a family walk with a friend we had known for years. She captured us interacting naturally which really shows in our beautiful photographs. Our photos are so candid and so natural.”

“Sarah from Muka Portraits was amazing! My kids loved her and felt very comfortable with her, both in photos and in general. She has a way with children! The photos are absolutely beautiful and Sarah got a perfect mixed of posed, candid and hilarious photos that just tell the story of my crazy family perfectly.”

“Sarah was fantastic from start to finish. Not only was she very patient and helpful in the planning process, she really embraced our family mayhem on the day and captured some beautiful and natural moments. No doubt we will be back for more!”

“Sarah is exactly what we’d hoped for in a family photographer. Not only were our images beautiful but they reflect the lovely time we had as a family during our session. Sarah made us feel extremely comfortable and allowed us the space to just connect and play. Sarah was very approachable during the whole process.“

“We can only say that we’ve had the best experience with Sarah. Honestly we are not a “photoshoot” kind of family because it can feel too posed, but Sarah helped us through the entire process of choosing the location, advising on clothing etc without any pressure. During the shoot everything felt so natural and our girls loved her!”

5 stars

“Sarah was absolutely amazing! We had so much fun taking photos with our much loved, crazy little dog. Sarah provided direction and made us feel so relaxed throughout the whole session. The finished product is gorgeous, better than we could have expected!“
