With the utmost respect, it is my absolute pleasure and privilege to recommend the caring and professional services of Sara Kardooni Portraits.

I am so impressed with the high level of client care and compassion that Sara delivers. Days before my scheduled appointment, Sara called to speak with me. She took the time to really get to know me, as well as my goals for my photos. She asked insightful questions, and listened to all that I shared with her.

Her initial email and website also provided helpful information as to how I could best prepare myself, my wardrobe, and even the meaning behind certain colours, etc. Sara took the time to look at some of my wardrobe options, and helped me choose the best looks.

While I had never done professional photos before, Sara's calm demeanour and fun, honest energy had me feeling so comfortable from start to finish. She guided everything about my poses, hand placement, head tilt, etcetera ... the end results are absolutely stunning!

Sara, thank you from the bottom of my heart. With absolute confidence, I am happy to recommend you to everyone. I so look forward to working with you again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful light and love with me.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Sara Kardooni for a professional headshot session, and I strongly recommend you take the leap and make your booking! As someone completely new to the process, I was a bit nervous and uncertain about the whole idea, but from the very first moment Sara made things feel natural and easy. Scheduling was straightforward and Sara provided great upfront guidance and advice for wardrobe options that would work best. When I arrived, I was immediately taken aback by the space itself - abundant natural light diffusing through lightly frosted glass and a beautiful, open, yet private atmosphere with a variety of options for different styles of photos. During the session, Sara was warm and encouraging, expertly guiding me through every step. She has a genuine gift for making you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, with lots of tips and tricks to melt away seemingly invisible tension that her trained eye can catch and correct immediately. The final products were phenomenal - her work speaks for itself! Overall, I can end where I began: look no further - Sara Kardooni is the final word in professional headshot photography!

For anyone looking for a corporate head shot photographer, I would wholeheartedly recommend Sara Kardooni Photography, especially if you don't like getting your photo taken. I was tired of looking at the same head shot every day on Teams and my 10 year old head shot was embarrassingly long expired. I chose Sara because I loved how she depicted women in photos - strong, feminine and beautiful. Sara is a professional photographer that goes above and beyond to ensure you have the most amazing photo session and photos. She was a coach and mentor prior to the session, a personal branding expert, and shared helpful advice on wardrobe, and preparing yourself emotionally and physically. Who knew there was so much prep involved!

Her studio is beautiful with a great vibe and many options for different backdrops. Sara is positive, encouraging and very patient. She creates a fun, light and relaxed environment.
She's an expert at making you feel super comfortable, natural and like your best most beautiful, powerful self. She is able to magically capture that fleeting moment in her photographs. Thank you also to her team Teodora Jecheva (Hairstyling) and Carla Marques (Makeup) for making me look and feel so special, as if I were on vacation, drank an anti-aging elixir and had the best sleep of my life.

Sara was recommended to me by a colleague, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, everything was seamless, professional, and relaxed. As someone who usually prefers staying behind the scenes, Sara created a comfortable environment that made it easy for me to feel at ease while she worked her magic. The photos turned out absolutely perfect!

My photoshoot experience with Sara was more than I could have asked for. For me this wasn’t just a photoshoot it was an entire experience in itself. From start to finish Sara made sure I was not only comfortable but enjoying the process, from hair and makeup, to the behind the scenes videos, the hospitality she provided, the wardrobe options, and lastly the actual shoot! Sara is an amazing director, she is incredible at helping pose and making her subjects feel extremely comfortable. She truly embraces her clients like they are family and makes you feel confident and relaxed while shooting. I had such a professional experience I would highly recommend her services! Especially to gift this experience to a loved one to experience these timeless photos as well.

As soon as Sara and I talked on the phone before the shoot, I knew I would love her. Sara made me feel so comfortable, even special as she guided me through our photoshoot. There was perfect music, a wonderful spread of delicacies arranges so beautifully on trays. I felt more than accepted. I felt beautiful. And it turns out, once I saw the photos, I am. My hair and makeup was Just lovely, sexy and free. I felt very fulfilled after the shoot. I’m so thrilled with the results. Sara captures the true me in such a sensitive and beautiful way. I will use these photos for many different applications. The whole experience was delightful and I have some extraordinary shots as evidence! I’m Wendy Walters, I’m over 50 and I am powerful.

Being photographed by Sara Kardooni was a very easy and ultimately satisfying experience. From the get go Sara made me feel very comfortable and at ease. There was never a doubt she is a very experienced portraitist. Sara is both extremely attentive to detail and, at the same time, exacting with her results. During our shoot I was constantly surprised to find her stopping our process to fix or rearrange some tiny detail of my outfit, a detail that would have been lost on me but, in review, made a big impact on the final shot. Sara is a consummate professional in her approach and during our portrait session. I was very excited to see the final product and Sara wasted no time afterwards showing me several top tier portraits to choose from. I was very happy with the final edits she provided and felt any one of them would have satisfied my objective of an Executive Portrait for our company’s website and brochure. I would have no hesitation recommending Sara to anyone looking for professional photos and look forward to our next session together! Thank you again for the great photos Sara!
