About Me

Hi, I'm Sara James Buda

Born and raised in Italy, I fell in love with photography at 16 and never looked back. Now based in the Bay Area, I bring a warm, European-inspired eye to every session I photograph.

I specialize in Maternity, Family, and Newborn photography — those tender, fleeting moments that deserve to be preserved forever. That said, I'm open to all types of photography and love the challenge of capturing any story beautifully.

Why it matters

"One day you'll look back and be so glad
you pressed pause — and let someone
capture it exactly as it was."

These moments won't wait. Don't let them slip away undocumented.
