Beautiful photographs at a reasonable rate. Sarah being a dancer herself helps you find the pose that works for you. Sarah has been a belly dancer for over 20 years, not only can she take a good photograph but she can also help you with positioning your costume and picking out a pose that helps you convey the mystique of being a belly dancer.

Sarah's interest in photography dates from her early youth when her videographer father first introduced her to the art of photography, encouraging her to take her own photos. Her computer skills have enabled he to take full advantage of the digital revolution to take full responsibility for the images she creates. Sarah focuses her photographic art on oriental dancing, allowing her to combine her two main artistic loves. Her knowledge and understanding of the dancer's art provides her with a unique opportunity to capture the essence of the dancer in photos.
