Inspired by the beauty of classic imagery and the spontaneity of improvisational jazz, Sarah Sloboda has honed a unique photographic style rooted in over ten years of study, apprenticeship, and practice.

Coupling her love of technology with roots in documentary-style film, she parlayed a traditional shooting technique into the digital world, striving to inspire her subjects with visual moments of their lives working beautifully.

Awards, publications, and clients include The New York Times, New York Magazine, The Knot, Prix de la Photographie Paris, Citibabes, Wondertime, Baby Shop, Mommy Poppins, Classy Chaos, Brio, Beach Blvd. Bride, Stationery Trends, Ode Exchange, Goodkin, Urban Baby, A Child Grows in Brooklyn, The 3six5, Glamour.com, Sephora, CW network, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

Sarah holds a BA in Filmmaking from the University of Michigan, and self-designed a two-year practical “real-life MFA” detailed in her blog, formerly known as The University of Sarah. She frequently travels to shoot in New York City, other major U.S. cities, and abroad. Having spent nearly a decade honing her craft in NYC, she now lives with her husband in Cleveland, Ohio, infusing her life and her photography with joy, humor, honesty, optimism, and a hint of the unexpected.
