Hello.

I'm Sasha, the person behind the lens at From Stardust. For as long as I could remember, I've always had the urge to capture the beauty around me. On a solo trip to Europe in 2007 I discovered the medium of photography and fell in love. I still remember the day I bought my first Holga film camera in a shop in Vienna, Austria. I had so much fun taking roll after roll of photos using that unassuming plastic camera. The pictures turned out fuzzy, full of light leaks and unexpected compositions, but they perfectly embodied my fun and spontaneous trip.

Since then I've upgraded my equipment but still believe the best photos aren't captured by the most expensive camera, and I always keep a few film cameras on rotation. And my motivation for taking photos still remains the same: to find the beauty in the ordinary and capture both the big and small moments in life in an unique way.

When I'm not taking photos, I enjoy vintage hunting and long walks with my dog. My favorite meal is breakfast and my happy place is on a trail surrounded by fragrant Ponderosas in the Sierra Nevada.

My style.

My approach to photography is inspired by my love for film: it's less about perfection and more about capturing genuine moments artfully and spontaneously. I love any opportunity to play with light and perspective to create unique photos that are still natural. Most of all, these photos are about YOU, whether it's a wedding, an elopement, families and babies, I want to help capture these beautiful memories with my photos that will take you right back to the day they were taken.

Testimonial

Elaine

Sasha did our pregnancy photoshoot and we were very happy with her service and the photos! My husband and I aren’t the most photogenic/pose savvy people, but she was very patient with us and made us feel very comfortable. She picked a beautiful secluded beach near sunset and was very committed to getting a variety of poses and backgrounds, including the waterline, her shoes were even soaked by the waves! Sasha also turned around the beautiful photos very quickly. Highly recommend!

Susan

We had the best time having our photos taken by Sasha! I love that she really takes advantage of the outdoors and had some great ideas on local spots to shoot. The shots all happen organically and I feel like she really captured the essence of the three of us. I love the expressions she captured of their silly little faces : ) Highly recommend if you want unique, artistic photos captured.

Fairuz

Sasha was incredibly professional. She worked with our family and took the time to understand that one of our kids was not comfortable taking photos so she sent a short video introducing herself ahead of time. This helped prepare him so he know what to expect on photo day. She works with you to discuss what works best for your family in terms of location and time of day. She is communicative and responsive. She takes incredible photos. We were lucky to have Sasha photograph our family.

Lisa

My family gets photos done every year and every year I dread it but I'm always so happy once I have the pictures. Sasha was so easy to work with, very accommodating to help us get the pictures we wanted. We even changed locations due to fog. She really cared about doing a good job and making sure we were happy. It was one of the least stressful photo sessions we have ever had. I can't wait to use Stardust Photography again and again! Also, I couldn't be happier with the results! We love our family photos so much. We are so grateful that we found Sasha.

Guity

I had an amazing experience with Sasha. Very professional. Gave us great advice on a location for pictures. During the pictures made my children feel comfortable and gave us guidance during the photo session to make sure the pictures turned out great and they did. The best family photos we have had. Thank you Sasha!!

Kelsey

Sasha was excellent and so easy to work with for my engagement photos (despite the not optimal time of day). I would absolutely have her shoot for me again!

Laura

Sasha is fantastic! She managed to take two very tired kids, 4 and 6, and capture their spirit and energy in beautiful photos, not posed or staged. We got both family shots and action shots. She made the shoot fun and natural with scooters and bikes, so it was enjoyable for the family and resulted in gorgeous, professional photos! We will most definitely hire her again.

Randa

Sasha did an amazing job and we loved all the pictures. She did really go above and beyond to make sure the pictures turned out perfectly. We were doing a family photo shoot with a 15 month old and a 4 year old so Sasha made sure to keep the kids engaged and was very patient taking a lot of pictures to give us plenty of options to choose from.
