I’m Sarah, the person behind Latitude 49 Photography. Growing up in a military family, I was born overseas and moved around a lot, even calling Alberta home a few times. But it’s here in the Comox Valley where I truly put down roots, and this beautiful island has become my home.

The forests, lakes, rivers, and ocean of Vancouver Island sparked my love for photography, and that's where my journey began. When I picked up a camera in 2020, my goal was to capture the essence of the island—the wildlife, the sweeping skies, the vibrant plant life, and breathtaking landscapes.

But along the way, I found myself drawn to something even more captivating: documenting love.







Oh, Hey

I photograph love in all its wild and wonderful forms because I believe that true connection deserves to be captured and celebrated. Whether it’s the laughter shared between newlyweds on a mountaintop, the quiet comfort of a family huddled together by the ocean, or the joy of simply being with those you love, I’m there to preserve those moments.

For me, photography isn’t just about creating beautiful images—it’s about freezing real, unfiltered emotions in time, giving my clients the chance to relive these moments forever. I love the Pacific Northwest, especially Vancouver Island, for its rugged landscapes and raw beauty. My passion lies in capturing love against this breathtaking backdrop, where nature and intimacy come together in ways that feel powerful and timeless.

I want my clients to see themselves as they truly are—unposed, genuine, and in love. I hope to give them more than just photographs; I want to give them memories that feel alive with every glance, so they can hold onto the feeling of these moments for a lifetime. That’s my why: preserving stories of love, connection, and adventure in a way that’s as real and raw as the landscapes that surround us.

My whole world

A few things that I love are coffee, my dogs and my forever person, Brodie.
 
I was 18 when we met. 18 when we fell in love.  At the time that I write this, I have loved him for nearly as long as I haven't. Nearly half my life has been spent with this guy.  And what a life we've created.

We have a beautiful home, with two amazing dogs, and to know them is to love them. 

I've also been lucky enough to have two amazing parents who support me through everything and some pretty incredible in-laws too.

I couldn't imagine a different life, nor would I want to.

Where can you find me...

...when I'm not behind the scenes of Latitude 49 Photography?

I'm probably reading a good book, snuggling my dogs, or out in the wild. 

I spend all of my extended time off (from the 9-5) either camping or on our boat. Out there discovering waterfalls and  taking in the night sky.

I also work in our healthcare system, both in private and public as a rehabilitation assistant. My lengthy career (14 years is wild to me) has taught me a number of things but mostly, how important relationships are.
