Hey there!

I’m Sarah - the designer, photographer, and Pacific Northwest mama behind Braevin. I’m an extroverted introvert, enneagram one, wannabe plant lady, and undercover essential oil-er. When I’m not working, you’ll most likely find me outside running, dreaming up our next house project, or trying to keep my toddler from eating dirt out of the plants. I’m deeply connected to my family and friends, love the early morning hours, passionate about my faith, and a homebody to my core.

What started as a small portrait and wedding photography business in 2010 has morphed into a one-stop-shop creative studio bringing small business stories to life with simplicity, authenticity and ease.

I know you’ve got a story worth telling - and I’d love to help you get it out there in a beautiful way. Whether you’re in need of a new logo or website for your business, photos to showcase your incredible work, or a month-to-month designer on call, I’m your gal. So let’s pour a cup of coffee and put our heads together to bring your story to life; you won’t believe how easy - and fun - it can be.

So, what’s with the name?

The meaning behind my business name comes from John 15:5, β€œI am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing”.

In order for my business to succeed, I must be rooted in The Vine. The word β€œBRAEVIN” is simply a blend of the words BRANCH and VINE as a constant reminder of where my roots are planted.

  • "It's quite simple; work with Braevin! I noticed Sarah's work on a colleague's website and was instantly hooked. It took me all of 2 minutes to reach out and start the process. In a very short period of time and with great precision, Sarah was able to hone in on my taste, vision, needs, and deficiencies. I could not be happier. Not only do I have the cohesive story I was lacking, but I have also renewed confidence in the systems and practices to make the most of these beautiful assets! Any new project that comes to mind, I reach out to Sarah. Thank you, thank you!"

  • "I loved working with Sarah! She made a process easy and manageable that could have been very overwhelming and difficult. She also has a very positive disposition and encouraging way about her. Nothing seems to ruffle her feathers. On top of it she is very creative with developing branding and a website. I am so happy with the end result! Sarah was a great fit for me."
