Sara McKenna – Sassi Photography
Sara McKenna is the head of the Sassi Photography Team. She is a Brisbane-based professional photographer and mother to five beautiful children – one girl and four boys, the eldest born in 2001. Although this website is Sassi Photography’s business, the attached blog is also an insight into Sara’s personal and family life. She loves to capture the every day, beautiful moments that occur, often taken for granted… moments that we see, but are gone again in the blink of an eye… moments we think we will never forget.
Sara loves seeing the joy and sparkle and being able to bring that into print. Most of all, Sara loves reconnecting you to your family, seeing your relationships and feeling the love you feel for each other.
Sassi Photography is currently location-only and centred around Carindale, Queensland (Australia).
Volunteering
Although no longer a member, Sara is a proud supporter of Heartfelt – giving the gift of photographic memories.
Sassi Photography has also spent many years supporting the Special Children’s Christmas Parties.
