    Sarah, you were brilliant from start to finish. Thank you for capturing such a momentous time in my life and for making an 8 month pregnant (and 3 weeks … More pp) girl feel beautiful in front of the camera. Your warm disposition and eye for detail made our experience so delightful. We absolutely love our photos and will cherish them forever x x x

    We had a relaxed and enjoyable stroll through the St Kilda Botanic Gardens with our four grandchildren. Sarah encouraged us to do what we normally do with … More them in this lovely park and she discretely took photos of our adventure. When direction was required, Sarah was patient, encouraging and made helpful suggestions as to what to do for the best shots.
    We ordered a 12 shot story board and the result is truly lovely and captures our four grandchildren in all their cheeky glory.
    We highly recommend Sarah - you won’t be disappointed.

    We highly recommend Sarah if you are wanting a relaxed and fun photo shoot! We are so happy with our images and loved including our fur baby as well. Sarah … More made us feel very at ease and prepared for our shoot by providing information leading up to the day about outfits, the spaces she would use and that you don’t need to clean every inch of your house! I also loved that there was no rush to get the images done, allowing us to stop for feeds and calm bubs down once she got a bit cranky. You will not be disappointed!

    I had admired Sarah's work for quite some time. I just love her style being so relaxed and such works of art. I couldn't wait to have our shots … More taken, although I have always thought of myself and my husband as very un-photogenic, so I was a little nervous about how it would turn out. Sarah connected with us instantly and put us at ease. I am so happy to say that she made our camera shy family some stunning art that we will cherish forever. Even my husband said we will definitely meet with Sarah again when the kids are older. The only trouble is which images to frame, there are too many great shots to chose from. Thank you Sarah

Sarah Churcher you have done it again! Your ability to capture so much love in every shot is amazing. Baby Nate, Ang & Luke have been blessed with your miraculous skills and loving attention to detail. I keep hitting favourite on every one, because each is as beautiful as the next one. I don’t know how you do it every time, but I’m so very thankful that you do. Thank you a million times over – a very happy Aunty Kel xxx

Kelly

We have four young children and I had been putting off having professional photos taken, as my children can often be uncooperative. Sarah was amazing – so lovely and patient with the children and so creative with the images and personalities she was able to capture. I love Sarah’s aesthetic – her photos are really natural, with gorgeous backdrops and beautiful use of light.

Anna

Sarah is a lovely person – she makes you feel comfortable during the shoot, she makes you laugh, takes a genuine interest in your family and cares very much about making sure your photos reflect the heart and soul of your family life. Sarah is a fantastic photographer. Her photos will become precious family memories for decades to come. They are real, no cliches, no awkward posing or forced smiles.

Katherine

We had such an amazing time at our photo shoot with Sarah, she made it so relaxed and we were able to just enjoy the moment with our two boys whilst she captured some absolutely beautiful images that we will treasure forever. I almost cried at our photo selection session because the images spoke so much to our relationship as a family.

Alisha

I’ve had a photoshoot with Sarah when my little bub was 6 months. She is so lovely, engaging and easily makes everyone comfortable to do the shoot. Even my bub got along with her to get some amazing shots. We had a difficult time picking the photos we wanted as all the photos were unbelievably good. Sarah has an eye for the landscape and light and works the environment to truly create some unforgettable moments.

Yoshi

Sarah has an uncanny knack of knowing exactly the type of pictures her clients want and she made sure we were relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the shoot. Sarah, thank you for your incredible patience with our little one, striving to capture smiles. We are so grateful, love the collection of images so much and are amazed at your incredible “eye”; you can do amazing things with that camera!

Allie

Sarah is AMAZING! I cannot thank her enough for capturing my beautiful family, she is wonderful. Sarah makes you feel very relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, i would highly recommend Sarah.

Do yourself a favour and get Sarah to capture your family moments and create your forever memories!! Thank you Muka!! You truly are a treasure!!

Natalie

We were so happy with the photos Sarah captured of the three of us. Sarah made us feel really comfortable and relaxed which was great, as I don’t normally love getting my photo taken. I am so glad to have these photos now to capture this time in our lives with our beautiful bub. I really recommend Muka portraits, the whole process from booking to the photoshoot and photo viewing session was very professional.

Jo

Sarah is absolutely amazing! she caught so many beautiful moments in our extremely large family Photo shoot! she was so helpful and had so many great ideas and made the photos so natural! we all love our photos so much and we will all cherish the great memory we had actually doing the shoot! thank you so much Sarah we will be forever grateful to you!

Caitlin

We are in love with the beautiful photos you captured of our little family. Normally we are super awkward in front of a camera but Sarah made us feel so comfortable and recommended a really fun location so during the session we were focused on exploring, chasing rabbits and bird watching rather than on the camera. We had so many gorgeous photos full of personality to choose from.

Amy

Our house is full of Sarah’s work, from pictures from our wedding to photos of our first son and then a recent shoot to include our baby daughter! We adore Sarah and the magic moments she has captured for us on our journey of life. Sarah is an extremely professional, talented, creative and entertaining photographer! The lengths she goes to, to get that perfect shot is a rare find and something that should be commended.

Andrea S

Sarah truly captured the spirit of our family with her photos. She is warm and engaging, and a lovely person to boot! We would definitely recommend her and use her again next time.

Felicity

Thank you, thank you, thank you Sarah. Family portrait shoot number 6 with you. We still can’t figure out how you manage to capture the complete honest and beautiful vibe that is in our family moments. You get the ‘real’ somehow. It’s magic. We couldn’t be happier. You are our best find since moving Bayside 5 years ago, and every one of the people we referred to you agree. So very happy, you’re a super star!

Chloe

Sarah was such a delight to deal with from our very first conversation and really took the time to listen to what we wanted. On the day of our shoot Sarah was able to really connect with our two daughters and this gave her the opportunity to capture candid and natural photos of them both, and all four of us as a family. I could not be any happier with Sarah, and the way she was able to capture our family in such a beautiful way.

Celina

Thank you so much for our amazing family photos Sarah! We had so much fun on the shoot and you made us feel so comfortable. Thank you for really going the extra mile to get a range of shots in different locations. We couldn’t be happier with the end result!

Linnet

The images are better than I could have imagined. So natural and candid which is exactly what I was looking for. In years to come we will look at these photos and remember what we were doing at that time – because Sarah just allowed us ‘to be’ and encouraged us to do what we usually do. I will cherish these memories forever, and we get to share these memories with our future generations.

Breanna

We had such an lovely experience with Muka Portraits, Sarah was so lovely to work with. We were extremely lucky win a free session and fine art print with Muka Portraits. We were so happy with the session that we purchased extra prints. We can’t wait to have Sarah capture more pictures of our growing family. Thank you Sarah for the competition that introduced us to your beautiful work.

Rachel

We were lucky enough to be told about Sarah through a friend. Sarah is totally amazing, our photos are everything we imagined and more. She was so comfortable to have in our house and goes above an beyond with her service. I highly recommend Sarah, and will continue to use her into the future for our family photos.

Zoe

We recently had our family portraits done by Sarah from Muka and we couldn’t be happier! Sarah was absolutely lovely. She made us all feel very comfortable and made the whole experience very enjoyable. She picked a beautiful location for the photos to be taken, and was very professional throughout the whole process. We would highly recommend Sarah, and have suggested Muka to all our family and friends. Thanks again Sarah!

Emily

Sarah is a phenomenal photographer! I HATE photos, but she made the process so natural and easy that I forgot she was there and could relax. The pics and video are truly the most breathtaking memories we have so far! See you again in a few years!

Jacqui

It was such a joy to have a family portrait session with Sarah of Muka Portraits. She made us all feel relaxed and special enabling her to capture the most natural, gorgeous images. Her eye for composition and use of natural light created amazing pieces of art to hang on our walls to enjoy and treasure for years. Thank you Sarah!

Juliet

Sarah has now photographed many milestones in our family’s life so we knew her shots of our new baby girl would be perfect… and they were! Having Sarah coming and photograph our new family of three was just as relaxed and natural as having a friend over. She made the whole experience so simple and perfect. Our prints now hang in our hallway and we smile every time we walk past. Love your work as always.

Kate

Our family was comfortable in no time as Sarah is so easy going. Sarah made sure that there was huge variety in the shots, beautiful light, but most amazing of all were the little moments that she managed to capture, things that as a parent you would notice, that others may miss… a giggle, a moment of apprehension or triumph, a sneaky look… somehow she captured it all with being on top of us.

Louise

What a pleasure it was to meet Sarah and experience her undoubted skill and talent. Aside from her immense photographic capabilities, I think you’d honestly struggle to meet a nicer person who immediately put our combined families at ease. 9 wonderful prints that now fill a feature wall in our home. Thank you so much, Sarah!

Don

I had admired Sarah’s work for years and I couldn’t wait to have our shots taken, although I have always thought of myself and my husband as very un-photogenic, so I was a little nervous about how it would turn out. Sarah connected with us instantly and put us at ease. I am so happy to say that she made our camera shy family some stunning art that we will cherish forever. Even my husband said we will definitely meet with Sarah again.

Andrea R

Sarah is a beautifully intuitive photographer – she helped our family feel so comfortable and at ease that we could truly be ourselves, which she was then able to capture seemingly effortlessly in her gorgeous images. Everything from talking initially, to arranging dates and going through images together to chose the right ones, to Sarah carefully delivering the finished art prints directly to us was so relaxing and joyous.
