“SA was absolutely amazing to work with! She made us feel comfortable and like we could truly be ourselves. Shoots with her are so much fun!” ~ Julianna & Parker Malonson, Engagement Photography, Wedding Photography

“If you’re looking for a professional photographer, look no further than Rael Focusd Photography. I can be a bit nervous about being in front of the lens, but Sarah Angela provided great direction and a relaxed atmosphere that immediately put me at ease.” ~ Sarah Slaton, Artist Portraits, Couples Photography

“I’m going to echo a sentiment that’s probably been mentioned about Rael Focusd. She just makes you feel so comfortable. I was immediately impressed at not only the composition of the art, but how she made ME look. Worth every penny if you’re looking for quality photos with someone who will take the best care of you.”

“I’ve never felt so seen in front of a camera. Sarah captures me in the way I see me, and looking at the final shots was like looking at the strongest version of myself. I could not recommend her more. We have endless laughs and on going work ahead of us!”

~ Ashlyn Powell, Boudoir Photography, Branding Photography

Several children are in the foreground, and a woman with long hair is standing and holding a camera. The scene appears to be inside a modern, minimalist kitchen with a wooden shelf, white dishes, and baskets on top.

“I’ve worked with SA for both a workshop and a personal event, and what I appreciated most was her professionalism and follow-through. She arrived prepared, captured the moments as they unfolded, and delivered the final gallery promptly. Having someone I can trust, to document an event while I focus on being present is invaluable.”

~ Hailey Faria, Behind the Scenes Photography, Event Photography

“I truly believe the universe sent us exactly what we needed. From the moment she arrived, she made every single person feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful. It felt like a party with one of your best friends. Her talent behind the camera is incredible, but its the way she connects with people and creates an atmosphere of joy that makes her truly special. Hands down, she is our photographer as long as I'm in business." ~ Megan Harris, Branding & Headshots Photography
