GREATER SYDNEY AREA
Welcome
If you have made it this far, you are on the right track to investing in timeless, artistic images of you and your family.
So, let me fill in the blanks. My name is Sarah Mei (pronounced 'May'), and I'm a photographer based in Western Sydney. I travel all across Sydney capturing families, mothers, babies, the lot, and it brings me a heck a lot of joy.
I want to capture my subjects as they are, as beautifully and artisticly as I can.
I love warm, deep shadows and cool crisp highlights.
What I am most proud of in this business of mine, is that clients walk away feeling great about themselves and their session, with full confidence that they will love their gallery.
Feel free to look around. See if you resonate with my work. If you find yourself thinking, "wow", please, get in touch. If you have any questions, I am just a contact form away.

Jess
“We had our maternity photoshoot with Sarah on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and could not be happier! It was such a wonderful experience. Sarah was responsive in her correspondence, professional and made us feel very comfortable on the day.
Lots of laughter and fun! She has a gift at documenting special moments from unique perspectives; using natural elements, light and shadows to breathe life into every picture.
Thank you Sarah! We loved the photos you took of us, they’re just beautiful.”

Cisem
“I don’t even know what to say. We are truly lost for words. I almost always have a vision and get disappointed each time. This happened with my ladies night, bridal shower photos and worse my wedding photos. When it comes to photography I have been let down a lot. So this truly means a lot to me. I am obsessed with every single photo. I’m going to have to buy more frames now so I can showcase it all. Thank you a million times!”
Testimonials
Marianne
“We chose to shoot our daughter's newborn photos with Sarah after falling in love with her style of photography on Instagram.
She came to our home and made everyone feel so comfortable, especially my 2 year old son who warmed up to "Aunty Sarah" so easily.
She took her time to ensure everyone was comfortable, baby was well fed and in a good mood, and was able to get the right shots ...”

“We didn't feel rushed, like we were just another job, but like she was a dear friend capturing our family's precious moments.
And the results were truly beautiful. Not your typical newborn studio posed shots, but warm, earthy, "in the moment" shots that capture so much love, life and emotion - exactly what we wanted!
We couldn't be happier with the whole experience and outcome. We will be so proud to put these pictures up around our home and will be sure to recommend her to all our friends and family!”

We had a negative experience once with with another photographer so we didn't know what to expect, but Sarah really blew us away! So professional yet so down to earth.
Our little Leo is quite difficult with strangers and when he is out in the cold, but he was smiling for the whole time around Sarah. The photos which resulted were just amazing!”

Being 37 weeks pregnant she was very accommodating in choosing a location close to home for us. At the shoot itself she was warm, friendly, approachable and gave great direction.
