Desert Born is the culmination of everything I am as a
person. It's the soul of the desert, where I come from,
and the heart of the coast where I now reside. It's a
little rock and roll mixed with a little romance. Desert
Born was forged out of a feeling, a want to be 100%
authentic in a fabricated world. At Desert Born we
value emotion, authenticity, and nature over the
superficial. We find beauty in unassuming places and
grow bonds better than before. We’re not afraid to get a
little dusty and you better believe we have a kick ass
good time.

"Not only is Sara a true artist and incredibly professional, but her bubbly personality made getting photographed feel so effortless and fun! She really took the time to get to know my husband and I as a couple and incorporated our interests into our photo shoots. For example, I mentioned I love 1970s decor and all things vintage, and she brought a cordless record player and other fun props to our engagement shoot, which was such a unique element!"
