About
I’m a high school senior portrait photographer who understands that not everyone is automatically comfortable in front of a camera, but who wants to get you there. I work with seniors who are nervous, shy, or convinced they aren’t photogenic.
I do this for a few reasons —
Time with our kids is limited. I know that from personal experience. I'm a mom of eight, a grandmother, and I've personally sent seven, yes SEVEN seniors through this exact season. It goes fast. Faster than anyone warns you. Holding onto it matters.
I also just love this age. There's something about seniors that gets me every time — that mix of nervous energy and excitement. They are standing at the edge of a world they haven't met yet, eager and terrified. Getting to be a small part of that and giving them a little boost of confidence on their way out the door? That makes my heart happy.
And honestly, I believe God gives people gifts to bless the lives of others. I feel that photography is one of mine. I don't take that lightly. I pray each session that my seniors will walk away from this experience seeing themselves a little more like God sees them and knowing just how amazing they truely are.
Not every photographer is the right fit for every client — and I think that's worth saying out loud. When there's a good match the whole experience is easier, more relaxed, and the photos show it. I've been doing this for over 10 years and what I'm after is simple — the right fit for both of us.
Packages start at $600, with most families investing between $1100 and $1800.
Big compliments from real people.
“I worked with Sarah Jackman in high school. I was one of the people on her modeling team and I loved every minute of it, she was not only sweet but accommodating as I have a disability. I highly recommend Sarah for photos.”
“Sarah is a very skilled and patient photographer. She has an eye for beautiful compositions. You'll find that she isn't afraid to think outside the box and try new things. Her photos and locations are fresh and current. I love how she captures all the different nuances of each person's personality. She is worth every penny!”
“I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. She has an incredible ability to truly capture the personality of her clients in a way that feels authentic, natural and timeless. Every image tells a story and you can genuinely see who people are shining through in her work. What sets her apart is her attention to detail and dedication to creating a personalized experience she thoughtfully customizes each session to match the client’s personality, preferences, and vision making the entire process feel comfortable and fun. It never feels forced just genuine and effortless.”
“Sarah is not only an amazing person, but she takes the best pictures our family has ever had taken. She’s taken our pictures for years and each time they’ve turned out beautifully. We have a couple kiddos that hate getting their pictures taken and she works miracles with them. I will always refer anyone that needs pictures to Sarah because she is the best in this field.”
“We have had Sarah take pictures for us multiple times. She has done family pictures and four Senior shoots for us. We have never been disappointed with her or the pictures. Most recently, she took our youngest's senior pictures and was phenomenal at posing him and finding great locations despite it being a setting she had never photographed in before. I would recommend Sarah to anyone who wants a great experience and amazing pictures.”
“Having Sarah take my senior and mission pictures was a great experience. She provided a changing tent, which made it really convenient to switch between outfits. Sarah takes beautiful photos and gives you the opportunity to choose from a variety of poses and styles. She made the whole process feel natural and comfortable, allowing you to truly be yourself. It was a lot of fun having Sarah do my pictures and I'd definitely recommend her to others.”
“Absolutely loved my pictures with you! From the experience down to the end photos. It’s been 4 years and they are still some of my favorite pictures!! You truly knew just how to capture not only me, but tie in the beautiful landscape behind me.”
“Sarah was so sweet and definitely made sure I was comfortable! We were trying some new techniques and she did so good with them! The photos turned out so amazing! I would definitely recommend going to her you won’t be disappointed!”
“Sarah Jackman is a great photographer. She not only takes great pictures, but knows how to capture the moment. She's patient and makes everyone feel comfortable and at ease. She's let's you know if something won't work and has suggestions that will. Sarah is a photographer that's easy to work with, dependable and is aware of detail.”
“Sarah is the best! She has been our go to photographer for years She has documented the milestones in our life. I trust her with it ALL because she captures the personalities of my kids perfectly every time. She creates a comfortable environment and knows just how to get the candid, authentic shots.
