The Face Behind Bella Vida Photography

Hi, It’s Sarah 👋 The Face Behind Bella Vida Photography

Let’s make this feel like we’re chatting over coffee!

If we haven’t met yet, hi — I’m Sarah, the heart and photographer behind Bella Vida Photography.

I’m based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and I get to do something I truly love… capturing people, their stories, and the moments that matter most.

Bella Vida Photography was built on a simple idea — your life is worth capturing beautifully.

A little about me

• I’m a mom, which means I understand how quickly life moves

• I’m a former teacher, so I naturally guide and connect with people

• I love Jesus, being outside, and exploring new places

• Coffee is always a good idea

• I enjoy working out

• I love finding joy in the little things - especially flowers!

All of these pieces shape how I show up for my clients — with patience, warmth, and a genuine desire to make your experience meaningful.

What I do (and why I love it)

I specialize in:

• branding and headshot photography for business owners

• family sessions full of connection and real moments

• senior sessions that capture personality and confidence

What I love most is helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do — I’ll guide you every step of the way.

More than just a photoshoot

When you book with Bella Vida Photography, it’s not just about taking pictures.

It’s about:

• creating an experience that feels relaxed and enjoyable

• capturing real moments and genuine connection

• giving you images that you’ll look back on for years

I want you to leave your session thinking, “That was actually fun.”

Why I care so much about what I do

Photos become part of your story.

They hang on your walls, get shared with family, and become memories you return to again and again. Whether it’s your business, your family, or your senior year, these moments matter.

And it’s truly an honor that you would trust me to capture them.

I can’t wait to meet you

If we were sitting across from each other right now, I’d probably have a coffee in hand and be asking you all about your story, your family, or your business.

Until then, just know I’m here to make your experience easy, comfortable, and meaningful from start to finish.

📍 Serving Albuquerque & Rio Rancho, but happy to travel!
