Sarah Jurado - Seattle-based portrait + lifestyle photographer. Ready to travel the world.

I love: red lipstick, toy cameras, good boots, black coffee, road trips, and taking your photo.

“After years of admiring, assisting, and soaking up the work of other Northwest photographers, Seattle-based Jurado (nee Murphy) finally bought her first camera in 2007. Through sheer good luck, on that very same day, she was able to shoot the Long Winters playing at Seattle’s Showbox. Those first-ever photos would later appear in the band’s live-in-concert DVD. The keen eye and spontaneity with which Sarah shot that first night have shaped and defined her work ever since.
In the past three years, Sarah has shot for a pretty little laundry list of clients in and around Seattle (The Stranger, SPIN, Seattle Weekly, T-Mobile, VAIN, Lark, and the Pretty Parlor, to name a few). She’s been lucky enough to work with and assist photographers as diverse and talented as Jenny Jimenez, Renee McMahon, Justin Dylan Renney, and Autumn deWilde. In 2009, she and Kyle Johnson were selected to speak at Grammy Career Day in the category of music photography.
More importantly, she’s established herself as a photographer who sees art in the everyday and beauty in the ordinary. She’s committed to telling the beautiful stories all her clients have to share, and to have the best possible time while doing it. She spends her free time perfecting her carrot cake recipe, touring with her husband Damien, and co-curating the New Guard dinner series.”
