Sara May Photography - Portland, Oregon

Sarah S.

Sara came to our home for our second son's Newborn photo shoot. I am in love with our photos and am so happy we had them taken by Sara. She was so patient and worked with us through feedings, meltdowns and diaper changes for us to get a great product. 🙂 We are due for another family photo shoot and we will definitely be a repeat customer!

Sara May is an incredible photographer!! We met Sara as we planned for our wedding in the summer of 2011. We loved how comfortable she made us feel, how she seemed to remember every detail, how she used her own creativity to set up some incredible shots on our big day, and how she went the extra mile for us in so many different ways! We loved her work so much we hired her again for a fun couples shoot a few years later.
After we moved to the east coast and had our first little baby, we looked for photographers in the area and really weren’t satisfied with anything we saw, so we arranged for another Sara May photo session with our little one on a trip back to the Northwest!
Honestly, I’d trust no one else with my photography needs! Sara is incredibly talented at what she does and makes it seem so effortless!!

Sara is the most incredible photographer. Even with a 2 year old that didn’t want to sit still and didn’t want to smile, she got the most amazing photos of our family! She always makes us laugh, lays on the floor to get the best shot (you’re the best!) and still does her whole job with an amazing amount of grace. She is our go-to photographer, has been since we got engaged and will be for every family photo going forward! I can’t say enough about Sara - if need someone to get the perfect shots, book her ASAP!

Sara is incredibly personable and we felt comfortable with her right away. She was super flexible and rolled with our changes (and certain personalities at the wedding... 😉 ) without skipping a beat. Her photos are beautiful and wonderfully edited. I'd definitely work with her again!

I first met Sara in person at a coffee shop to talk about my upcoming wedding in 2011 and what we were hopeful for in our wedding photos. Both at the wedding and after I received so many compliments about her; that she was everywhere capturing moments but was not obvious about her presence. She contributed to the smooth transition of events throughout the night and there wasn’t a requested photo that was left out. When we received the photographs later we were astounded by the amazing memories and moments she captured. Her ability far exceeds anything I could have imagined.
Beyond the wedding, Sarah has captured newborn photos for both of our children which included details I wouldn’t have thought of, but so thankful when I look through those photos now that she has the foresight. Now with active toddlers, we contact her yearly for a family photo session. Despite their busy nature, I always wonder how in the world she manages to capture so many wonderful photos of our family. I am so thankful that we met 7 years ago and there is no one else I’d trust more with our memories.

As a wedding planner, I work with many photographers. I love working with Sara and reccomend her to my clients because she is the perfect combo of Customer Service Expert and Talented Artist.

Sara is a dream to work with throughout the planning process. She takes her time to get to know my clients and understand their photography needs. She is flexible and timely and she brings so much fun and comfort to the wedding day. She relaxes everyone and does a wonderful job of being easy going and yet organized and structured to keep the photos moving along.

And then there is her work. Gosh...too much to say.

Her work is incredible. Its timeless. Her posed photography is perfectly framed, capturing the tiniest of details, being mindful to flatter everyone and everything.

Her candid work will really blow your mind. She climbs trees, she rolls on the ground, she has eyes on the back of her head. I am not sure how she captures these spontaneous moments but she captures them beautifully.

If you are looking for a photographer, reach out to Sara. She will be a wonderful addition to your wedding and will capture your day beautifully.

Sara is am amazing photographer! She did my friends wedding and those photos are the best I've seen in Portland. She also did my baby announcement photos at a pumpkin patch this last Oct and we had a great time while getting some very nice pictures.

I have been using Sara for our family photos every year for at least 5 years, she is very relaxed and professional. I always feel confident she is going to get some great shots even with 3 kids running around! I absolutely recommend her!
