BEHIND THE LENS

Hey there, I’m Sarah Jay.

BASED IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, AT HOME EVERYWHERE.

Something you should know about me: photography is my art but human chemistry is my calling. To seek out, bask in, and capture the special bonds that set our souls on fire. Those that awaken our senses and ignite the world with unflinching passion. I’m talking about the real stuff. The raw you. The unfiltered, uncensored, unspoken moments of total synchronicity between two souls. The fluid expressions of effortless love and thrilling intimacy within candid connections. If it’s not genuine, I don’t want it. Give me grand or give me gritty but come as you are and come fearlessly so. In return, I vow to meet the world with a vulnerable heart and an open mind. To ebb and to flow, allowing a conscious creativity flow through me. To sit in quiet stillness and leap into wild spontaneity. To follow what makes my heart pound or my mind curious. To the world I say: to hell with standards; do what makes you feel. Say yes to the unknown and get lost in the journey while you’re at it. I say let’s eat, drink, read, play, swim, sing, learn, love, as much as we can, while we can. I say it’s now or never.

TESTIMONIALS

Hosanna & Evan

“Sarah is an incredible storyteller with every photo she takes—the composition, light, editing and sense of timing is without compare! She is worth every penny and more! She was exactly what we were looking for with our micro wedding!! We got married during the wildfires and pandemic and she was so flexible and down for every change of plans, never failing to be encouraging and bringing so much life and joy. Her vibe is flawless, so take in a deep breath and just enjoy yourself and let go, there’s so much magic made in being yourself. Sarah will be there to capture it all!”

Sarah and Paul

"Sarah was amazing! Our plans kept changing due to covid and she was willing to work with us to make the best day ever. She did a 5am shoot with us that was literally breathtaking! She continued to amaze us throughout the wedding prep, the ceremony, and our small picnic/reception. She had great ideas, made us feel completely comfortable, and the photos we received were so fantastic! We kept saying each photo we saw was the best, over and over again! I would highly recommend Sarah for any photo shoot, whether it be a wedding, engagement, family, or just because!!! She has a unique eye in capturing great moments and her lovely spirit make her a joy to work with!"
