• WELCOME!

    Hello I'm Sarah Gardan & I take photos. I have the longest commute in the world because I live in Sydney, but work in Paris. I offer sessions in the City of Light during Spring, Summer & Fall. I also offer regular photography sessions in Sydney, Singapore, New York and beyond.

    My three wonderful children are my inspiration. I have a gorgeous 7 year old son, and two daughters : a brilliant 4 year old and a delightfully cheeky 20 month old.

    In my photography I strive to embrace the natural beauty of babies, children, families and couples. In essence to 'capture the magic' that shines in each of us. I specialise in natural light, so my sessions are always 'flash free' as I feel natural light really brings out the inner beauty of a child or moment.

    Joseph Campbell said, "follow your bliss" I'm lucky enough to follow mine and hopefully I'll be able to share a little bliss with you and your family along the way.

The Shangri-La | Paris Family Photographer | Sarah Gardan Photography

Whilst I was in Paris for Fall Portrait Photo Sessions, I was lucky enough to meet with a family who I photographed in spring 2011. This year Shella and her family chose to have some family photos in the luxurious Shangri-La Hotel in Paris. And what a treat that was for me. Talk about decadence.

The family looked fabulous all frocked up and Le Grand Salon was just sublime. It was so beautifully  opulent it reminded me of the Chateau de Versailes. All the gold certainly made for a luxurious backdrop. It was really incredible to have the opportunity to photograph a family in such a stunning venue as the Shangri-La. So a HUGE thanks to Shella for inviting me to capture her gorgeous family once again. I really was in photographer heaven!

Shella, I had such fun with you and the family and I really hope you enjoy your sneak peek and there are  many more photos to come really soon.

 

Sarah Gardan will be returning to Paris in Spring 2013. If you are tempted to have a photo session please drop her an email via the contact page on the  Sarah Gardan Photography website.

Family fun at the Chateau | Versailles Family Photographer | Sarah Gardan Photography

It was a somewhat chilly day in Versailles when I met with Kate, Alex and their gorgeous kiddies for a fun photo session at the Château de Versailles. I mean let’s be honest if you can have family photos at a french castle why not! Especially one of  THE most beautiful castles in France.

Versailles is a pretty stunning location for family photos as the château gardens are so beautiful. The franco-american family live quite close to Versailles so it seemed the natural choice.

Kate & Alex, it was such a treat to photograph your gorgeous family. Thanks for your patience and I hope you like your little sneak peek. More family gorgeousness to come in your gallery really soon.


Saturday, October 27 2012 - 6:15 am

Kate - You. Are. A. GENIOUS! Fabulous, fabulous treasures for our family and Fabulous Christmas presents as well! Thank you S! Merci! Gros Bisous!

Saturday, October 27 2012 - 11:25 am

Lenni Palanca - …What a stunning rendition of a picture-perfect family! The Photographer definitely captivated a superb shot of the family!…so natural and oh sooo elegant! I Love, love, love Kate, Alex, Emma, Remi and Riley!

Sebastien & the tower | Baby & Family Photographer Paris | Sarah Gardan Photography

It’s always a treat when I get to photograph a family more than once as I get to see how the little ones have grown. And so I was thrilled to take some photos of little Sebastien and his family at the Eiffel Tower. The first time I met him he was only a few weeks old so it was great to photograph him again and see how much he had changed. And I have to confess he really is a gorgeous little baby.

Kirsten & Mat it was so great to see you guys again and I really enjoyed catching up. Hope everything is going really well for you in Paris.

Sarah Gardan offers photography sessions in numerous destinations around the world including Europe, UK, USA & Asia. Sarah is currently planning her city dates for 2013. If you are tempted to book a session in your city why not drop Sarah an email through the contact page on her website

Beautiful Parc Bagatelle | Family Photographer Paris | Sarah Gardan Photography

It’s always a treat to have photography sessions in different locations around Paris and so I was thrilled when Federica emailed me to organise a photo session at beautiful Parc Bagatelle in Neuilly just outside of Paris. It was a stunning morning when we met and we had lots of fun playing in the beautiful park. I’m a real fan of greenery and so as you can imagine I was in heaven. Coupled with gorgeous kiddies and I can’t think of a better way to spend a morning.

Thanks for inviting me to take photos of your gorgeous family Federica and I’m busy preparing the rest of your images. Hope you like the little sneak peek!

Federica Abelli - The last action shot is magical – thanks for capturing these moments for us.

Ha & Alexandre | Anniversary Photographer Paris | Sarah Gardan Photography

Last year I was lucky enough to meet Ha and her finance Alexandre a few days before their wedding in Paris. Exactly one year later  I was able to photograph them on their one year wedding anniversary, on beautiful Ile Saint Louis in Paris. Despite the somewhat chilly autumn weather I had a lovely morning with the couple, complete with a delicious chocolat chaud from a Parisian brasserie.

 And of course popping past Notre Dame, Hotel de Ville and strolling along the Seine River,  I was in photographer’s heaven. Have I told you how much I LOVE my job??

Ha, I was thrilled to see you and Alexandre again. Congratulations for your anniversary and I really hope you like your sneak peek.
