- Kristen Easterday2 days agoThe difference between great pictures and those that take your breath away is often how well the photographer understands light and is able to capture your loved ones' emotion combined with the perfect light and angle. It is an art and a skill that is truly rare and takes years of experience to master. Sarah is a master at this art and, after a short session, provided approximately 100 photos each with so much emotion, warmth, balance, and depth. Each of the photos presented was exceptional from an artistic and personal perspective. The most difficult part was selecting the pictures to purchase because they were all amazing. She used all natural light, and the raw images were truly breathtaking. She is patient and kind. It was a fantastic experience, and the pictures we selected will be treasured.READ MORE
- Daniel Morina week agoSarah did an amazing job doing photos for my daughter. She was calm, sweet and very informative, so my daughter was relaxed through the entire process. Sarah also responded right away and we got our photos back so quick! My daughter now wants to be a model after working with SarahREAD MORE
- Jen Hilamana week agoDesired Focus Photography-Sarah Sarah Henderson photographer. She took my vision for these photos and made them a reality. Such a creative genius. I highly recommend her! She was patient, funny, brave- traversing slippery rocks across the creek and back again to get the perfect shot. You should have seen her waving a red flag with one hand to get Greta’s ears up, all the while taking breathtaking photos with the other hand. The images are so good. And Miss Greta was a rockstar! What a fun and rewarding experience. I am like many women my age-that miss what age has stolen from us. I never like pictures of myself. It’s been many years since I have felt truly attractive. These photos made me ugly cry when Sarah let me view them in her studio following the session. I didn’t have to wait-she text them to me along with the link to download that night. So professional. If you’ve ever thought about having professional pictures done-do it! You are not promised tomorrow. You will never regret having these beautiful memories!READ MORE

- Ali Zinnen3 weeks agoI had the absolute best experience working with Sarah for my residency headshots! From start to finish, she made me feel so comfortable and confident, which really shows in the final photos. She was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful with posing, and she took the time to involve me in the process to make sure we captured exactly the look I wanted. The photos turned out absolutely incredible, better than I could have imagined! I couldn’t recommend Sarah enough to anyone looking for professional, high-quality headshots.

- Bill StevensonEdited a month agoUpdating my business headshot was long overdue, seventeen years, in fact. I’ve never particularly enjoyed being photographed, and in recent years I approached the idea of a new photo with even greater hesitation. My hair has changed, my skin has changed…I simply look different. From the first few test shots with Sarah, those concerns immediately faded. She created a comfortable environment, explained her process clearly, and guided me through each step. Nearly every image she captured was beautifully lit, balanced, and natural. Beyond her technical skill, Sarah’s warmth and encouragement made the experience both easy and enjoyable. There is no question that I will return to Sarah for future portraits, and it certainly won’t be another seventeen years before I do so. Thank you, Sarah.READ MORE

Why a Headshot That Matches Your Branding Matters
A professional headshot that aligns with your brand identity is crucial for entrepreneurs, publishers, and anyone building a personal brand. It serves as a visual representation of your professionalism, confidence, and approachability, conveying your personal brand effectively.

The Role of Personality in Headshots
A well-crafted headshot can showcase your personality in a light that is both professional and inviting. By incorporating elements like wardrobe choices, expressions, and settings that reflect your brand, you can create images that resonate with your target audience. This approach not only differentiates you from competitors but also fosters trust and relatability.
Having a headshot that matches your branding is essential. It not only presents you professionally but also tells your unique story, making you more relatable and trustworthy to your audience.
