Honor and preserve your heritage with timeless pieces of art

Hello there! I’m Sarah Rose.

I’m a dog mom first and a photographer second, and after working as a photographer for years, I had my “lightbulb moment” - I fell in love with pet portraits.

While shooting newborn portraits (of sweet baby Daniel), I was completely drawn to the family dog, Eddy. He was stressed and tense, but I knew I could rise to the challenge of winning his tryst and capturing his spirit.

When I sat down that night to edit the images we took, mom dad and Daniel looked so happy and relaxed - and so did Eddy! I started to embrace my love of pet portraiture and never looked back.

Whether your family walks on two feet or four, I’d love to preserve the joyful moments you spend together with prints and albums to treasure.

Don’t let your memories hide on USB sticks, CDs, or the Cloud (remember floppy disks?). Have them printed. Hang them on your walls. Enjoy your loved ones every single day.

“[Sarah] was courteous and gave us choices in poses and ideas and worked with us the whole time without it being a snooze fest. It felt so organic and natural... A huge thank you to Sarah Rose for her service.” - Ethan H.

Your Story, My Passion

When my family gathers, we gather. We tell stories, we laugh, we get loud… and we always end up looking at old photo albums. My grandfather recently passed away, and pictures from his time serving in Korea are a family treasure. Every picture tells a story, and every person is remembered when we come together to share those memories.

I knew early on that I wanted to help families document and share their legacy. Like many photographers, I felt the passion first, and found my path next. This wasn’t my first job, but I’m so grateful to have this career capturing Spokane’s favorite memories.

My last career taught me the true meaning of service: building a connection and highlighting your story is what my job is all about. Now, as a professional photographer, I am honored to preserve those special moments in time for families, couples, and individuals.

Whether you’re commemorating your family of two, or gathering to celebrate great-grandma’s 80th birthday, I’m excited to capture this season in your life. Together, we’ll create timeless and beautiful art you can cherish.

Get to know Sarah Rose (that’s me!)

  1. I’ve travelled to 5 countries, and dozens of amazing cities, with many more on my bucket list. I LOVE taking new adventures and documenting every step of the journey.

  2. When I’m not shooting, you can find me at one of Spokane’s cool coffee shops (Rocket Bakery is my current favorite).

  3. I’ve got three very spoiled pups who brighten my day and who like to “help” me edit your photos.

  4. I’m a chronic pain survivor, and I am so grateful for this career that allows me to share art, love, and JOY with people every day.

  5. My very first photography ‘hooray!’ came early - I presented in a regional photo competition back in high school. It was a picture of a jumping spider… as much as I love our creepy, crawly friends, I’m really glad to work with humans and their pets nowadays!

Capture a moment in time with the people you love most.

You’re ready to move past self-timers or leaving someone out to ‘get the shot’.

You want heirloom-quality mementos, but you’re not sure where to start.

Let me take care of the hard work, so you and your family can relax and enjoy.
