PHOTOGRAPHY
Welcome
Yay! I’m so excited you are here. I can’t wait to tell your story in this season of your life. I am a lifestyle photographer and focus on authentic moments, candid connection, and genuine love with your family, so you can have those memories forever. You know those heart melting moments when you pick up your daughter and she rests her head on your shoulder or how your little boy’s hand still fits in yours? These moments are priceless and fleeting. Our session’s goal will be to capture your family just as you are- whether that includes snuggles, laughter, shyness, chaos- I am here for it all! My photography style is all about capturing beauty in the chaos and I am so honored to witness every family’s story unfold through my lens.

About Me
I love my three sons and my husband more than anything in the world. They are the reason I fell in love with photography. When my first son was born, time felt like it was slipping through my fingers and I knew it was so important to freeze those memories.
Over the last few years I really started to dive into learning everything I could about photography. I find it to be so meaningful for families to have something tangible for their memories. I love pictures for the story they tell, which is why I love capturing the beauty in authentic moments. I want you to look back at your photos and feel the emotion and connection to your family from that day.
A Positive Lens
Family photography with a purpose.
Sarah Valencia Photography is family photography with a purpose. For every session, a % of the proceeds are donated to a photography non-profit.
Telling a family’s authentic story is at the heart of SVP, and that includes helping others do the same.
This year our non-profit will be the 100cameras program. Through photography, this program teaches youth all over the world how to process their difficult experiences & tell their unique story through photography. Youth gain knowledge about technical photography skills and100cameras assists in selling their photographs and returns the proceeds to their communities.
Mini sessions will donate to local non-profits in the Lake County area.
Every time you book a session, you are helping youth who need it. It all adds and up —-you help make that difference.
You can find more information about 100cameras and ways to donate below
The Details
Photos are so vulnerable. I know how hard it is for some people to get in front of a camera- ironically, I don’t love being on the other side of the camera, but I know time is fleeting. This is why I do my best to help you feel comfortable during your session by getting to know you and making the session fun for the kids. The real connection happens when you are able to relax and enjoy your loved ones.
What to Expect:
- Easy booking process
- Session planning together to bring your vision to life
- Styling appointment that includes use of my client closet & style assistance for each family member
- A session focused on having fun and loving on your family
- Images delivered via an online gallery within 3 weeks
