Meet the team
Sara Jolise Burton, Owner and Photographer of Jolise Photography
My name is Sara Jolise Burton, and I am the owner and lead photographer of Jolise Photography. I’m also a wife and the proud mother of a beautiful daughter.
As a mother, I understand firsthand the complex relationship many women have with their bodies—especially after motherhood. Like most women, I have my good days and my not-so-good days. That lived experience is at the core of why I do this work. It is both my passion and my privilege to help women reconnect with their confidence and see themselves with fresh, compassionate eyes.
In a world shaped by unrealistic beauty standards, I believe deeply in self-love and authentic connection. As Theodore Roosevelt so perfectly said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” Every woman who steps into my studio is uniquely beautiful, entirely herself, and worthy of being celebrated—without comparison.
I am honored to photograph women of all ages, shapes, lifestyles, and stories. Each session is a collaboration, thoughtfully designed to reflect who you are and how you want to be seen.
I can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and create images that feel powerful, genuine, and unmistakably you.
