ABOUT SARA

Hi, I'm Sara, the lead photographer at Svarda Studios. My expertise lies in portrait and wedding photography. My goal is not just to take photos for you, but to connect with you and gain a deeper understanding of what you truly want from your session. My passion for creating stories through photography began in 2007, and I've been pursuing it ever since. Outside of photography, I enjoy graphic design, snacking, and crafting. When I'm not taking photos, you'll find me playing Animal Crossing, binge watching reality TV, and playing with my energetic kids. I love all things spooky and am always excited to bring the wildest ideas to life!

ABOUT LEVI

Hey there, I'm Levi, the Music Producer on the team. I've been playing in bands and writing music since I was 14 years old. However, it wasn't until my mid-20s that I started taking it seriously. I've been fortunate to work on a wide variety of projects with all sorts of artists, from hip-hop and metal to country and pure soundscapes. In addition to music production, I regularly assist my beautiful wife with set design, digital editing, second shooting, and (my favorite) the occasional light holding. Reach out and let’s make something awesome together!
