Sarah Masella Photography

Hi, i'm sarah

Sarasota County, FL photographer

I’m an artsy kid turned strategic adult. I love to-do lists, Lord of the Rings marathons, and using imagery to tell a story. Most days, you’ll find me at home, chasing my slightly feral toddler with an audiobook playing in the background (we’re halfway through The Order of the Phoenix right now). The simple pleasures of a quiet life bring me immense joy and much of my free time is spent with my husband serving our church, toddler in tow.

As an artsy child, I had far too many hobbies, but photography was one that stuck! As a teen, I documented many midnight adventures roaming whatever places were open in Venice past 10pm (usually Perkins). Now, with a much prayed-for child of my own, I’m still passionate about intentionally capturing every season.

I’m Type A through and through, and I apply my love of strategic organization to every session. Whether it’s an intimate family session or a full branding campaign, I take the time to think carefully through how best to tell your story. Beautiful photos are wonderful, but the images I’m after are a representation of your dreams, joys, hopes, and vision. I want to bring your story to life in a way that’s authentic and purposeful.

North Port, FL is my home base, but I regularly travel to Venice, Sarasota, Englewood, Port Charlotte, and Osprey.
