Hello friend!

I’m Sarah Blanchette-Swarz, but you can just call me Sarah—the passionate force behind the lens at SBFinePhoto. Welcome to my humble, joy-filled nook in the vast world of photography, where every snapshot tells a cherished tale and every click adds a vibrant chapter.

My love affair with photography began when I was just a 14-year-old high schooler in 2007. I believe that each photograph is a portal to a precious memory, a fleeting smile, or a shimmer of laughter shared. Through SBFinePhoto, I don't just capture images; I create a mosaic of heartfelt moments.

What makes my approach stand out? It's the love, folks! A love that’s woven into the very fabric of my client-focused and artistic vision. With each frame, I strive for uniqueness and warmth. I aim to deliver not just a picture, but an experience—a slice of life wrapped in positivity and draped in the golden hues of professionalism and creativity.

Armed with degrees in journalism and studio art photography from Oakland University, along with a Master of Fine Arts in Photography from the renowned Cranbrook Academy of Art, I bring a blend of academic knowledge and heartfelt passion to every click of the shutter.

When I'm not peeking through the viewfinder, the world is my canvas in countless other ways. I’m a fiber artist infusing photographic textures into textiles, a devoted wife and bunny mom, and a dynamic marketing professional at Oakland University. Right alongside, I'm building communities as a co-founder of Critical Stuff Collective, and I pride myself on being the 'cool auntie' everyone wishes they had. Whether it's indulging in an outdoor escapade, swaying to my favorite tunes, losing myself in the pages of a book, savoring culinary delights, or cherishing moments with my mama, each interest shapes my worldview—and by extension, my photography.

At the core of SBFinePhoto is a commitment to celebrating the uniqueness of each encounter. With a heartfelt and client-centered approach, my mission is to make every session about you—your story, your memories, and your moments. Because the essence of photography, to me, lies in capturing the untamed, unscripted, and genuinely beautiful segments of life. That's the narrative thread that runs through the tapestry of SBFinePhoto.

I'm excited to meet you, learn your story, and together, transform fleeting seconds into eternal keepsakes. Are you ready to craft some magic? Because I sure am—camera in hand and a smile to share.

With warmth and enthusiasm,

Sarah Blanchette-Swarz 📸✨
