let's get to know each other

I am Sara Lazio.

I'm a lifestyle and portrait photographer, living in Venice, California. When I am photographing I am continually in awe of the beauty of the small movements that bring connection. These moments allow me to slow down, reminding me that all we really have is this exact moment. No matter what life hands us, we can always hold the small simple moments as life long teachers.

Life is all about people, moments & emotions that we want to hold on to..

When I started as a photographer I was 21.  I found myself to be a bit reserved and shy.  Over the course of the 20 years as a photographer I have learned to open up and let others see me so they too could feel they could open up and be seen. 

I have learned that we all love to share who we are, and we all desire to be seen.  When I am photographing you, I slow down, I wait for the connection and I let the connection guide me. During our time creating, we walk, we talk, we laugh and tell the truth about life. 

 My heart is for everyone to know they are seen, accepted as they are and truly loved in that moment.  When I work with small children I let them lead, and every single time they pull me into a time of play, curiosity and exploration. The remind me how to embodying the ultra inner child and play again with life.  Connecting with my clients is not only the most beautiful gift during the shoot, but it almost always follows me to a relationship and friendship outside of our time photographing.

Other than photography, I am greatly impacted by health, wellness and caring for my mental, spiritual and physical health. I believe in rest to recover. I enjoy cooking from the local farmers markets with whatever is in season. I love vintage anything, home goods, clothing, furniture and visiting flea markets on the weekends is one of my favorite places to stroll and gain inspiration.  


More than anything else I am a mother of 3 boys, who are rapidly turning into men. They are my heart and soul and reason why, the ground me and when I am with them they are and have always been my truest form of inspiration.
