— The Girl Behind the Camera —


Hi, I'm Sarah Mae, a lifestyle portrait and pet photographer based in the beautiful Tacoma, WA area. After trading sunny Florida for the Pacific Northwest, I've found a new love for capturing the stunning landscapes and genuine moments that make this region so special.


Married to my best friend, Dustin, and sharing our lives with our energetic corgi, Archie, has inspired my passion for capturing the everyday magic. My love for photography blossomed alongside my love for our furry family member, and I've been hooked ever since.


My style is all about capturing real-life moments - lifestyle, natural, candid, bright, and fun.

I'd love to turn your precious memories into lasting works of art!


Ready to capture your life's moments?

Let's chat!

Had a dog photo session with SarahMae and she was extremely patient and helpful when my dog was acting like a maniac! Even thought he wouldn’t stay still, she captured a lot of good photos and we had a lot of fun. Great communication. Highly recommend!

With her kind and genuine personality she creates an environment that is warm and welcoming. Her attention to EVERY DETAIL is impeccable! From finding the perfect location and offering style suggestions, to creating a timeline for our shoot and what was to be expected within that timeframe. She clearly communicated posing suggestions and was open to any ideas we had as well. I also could not believe how quickly we received our final images and they were as STUNNING as I imaged they would be!!

SarahMae did an amazing job capturing the exact moments I was looking for. She makes photoshoots easy and comfortable, bringing her own ideas and merging them with your own. I got the pictures in less than a week after the shoot and will cherish them forever. Great photographer!

Can we just say “Wow”! We hosted our first ever Paint with Your Pup Event, & SarahMae Photography was on site shooting the entire event. It was a fun & crazy day, & SarahMae jumped right in & caught it all on film. The individual pictures of the pups are absolutely beautiful, she truly captured the vibe of the event & the individual personality of each pup. The final products are stunning & we can’t wait to share with our followers. We look forward to working with SarahMae in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

SarahMae was super fun to work with. She is punctual and communicates really well throughout the whole process. She gave me freedom of creativity of what areas of the park I wanted to shoot at and had great ideas for poses. She edited the photos to have a spooky look which is exactly how I wanted. She gave clear instructions on how to access the photos and I loved them. Great experience! Highly recommend SarahMae!
