Sara Baurley

I am a photographer + photo assistant living and working in Atlanta, Georgia & Birmingham, Alabama. In the Spring of 2022, I graduated a year early with a BFA in photography and a minor in business management and entrepreneurship with honors from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Following graduation, I accepted the position of photography fellow for the 2022-2023 year at Dotdash Meredith's Food Studios in Birmingham, Alabama, where no two days are the same, and I am learning from some of the industry's best at America's largest publishing company. My time at Dotdash Meredith's Food Studios has elevated me as a photo assistant and photographer. Starting June 2023, I plan to freelance full-time in Atlanta as a photo assistant + photographer and will still be open to opportunities in the Birmingham area and beyond. You can catch me on weekends during competition season at Showstopper's dance competitions across America, photographing dance routines.
My passion for photography stems from my love for the outdoors. I began by shooting landscapes on hikes through western North Carolina's Appalachians and paddles through the mangrove marshes of the Florida Keys. I dipped my toes into the world of event photography in the Winter of 2020 by serving on the Photography Team at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale in South Florida for almost two years, where I slowly developed a love for visual storytelling, which led me to focus on photojournalism in college.
Some fun facts about me are National Park bucket list in which I aspire to visit and photograph every US National Park at least once. So far, I has been to all three of the National Parks in Florida and the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee/North Carolina.
