Hi, my name is Sarah Walker, and I am a photographer based in Tasmania, Australia. You'll find me all over the state - and country - with my camera. Photography and horses have always been a part of my life, so naturally I decided to combine both of my passions into one. The first event I ever took my camera to was the Launceston Show, I had no idea what I was doing, and most of the photos were awful. Since then, I have learnt many lessons - some much harder than others - that have shaped me into the photographer I am today.
I share my home with two border collies, a golden retriever, and any number of foster kittens. My dogs have really have inspired me to delve into the world of canine photography. Whilst each of our four legged friends are a little different, I am loving the challenge that comes with working with a different species.
When I'm not taking photos, I enjoy working full time in pharmacy, spending time with my dogs, and borrowing a horse whenever I get the chance.

With a creative eye and effective approach, my goal is to create photos that capture you and your loved ones in a genuine and timeless light, highlighting individuality, and bringing life to every image.
I have had the pleasure of capturing horse and rider pairs, many beloved dogs, maternities, family gatherings, and engagements over the last 11 years of photography.
Now it's your turn.

Yes! I travel all over Tasmania capturing photos, for both privately booked clients and at horse events. I have recently expanded my photography services and cover events Australia wide. Please contact me to make a booking.
Any photos purchased from Sarah Walker Photography are for personal usage only and the rights and ownership of the image remain with Sarah Walker Photography. If you are after images to use in a commercial setting and not for personal use, please use the 'contact' tab.
I do ask to keep photography to a minimum if I am official photographer. I am not paid to be at events, and dedicate many hours to getting photos available to riders as soon as possible. My only income is made when people chose to purchase my photos, and sadly have had occasions where I operate at a loss due to photo theft and other photographers making images available.
I currently use a Nikon D850 for my photography. I am always adding to my gear bag, but at most events you'll see me with my favourite 70-200mm Nikon lens. I work only with natural light, as most Tasmanian event locations do not require artificial lighting.
Photos will be uploaded to my website as soon as possible after the conclusion of an event or booking. To find your favourite images, open the 'clients' page at the top of your screen. This will allow you access to any public galleries and photos can be purchased from here. Please allow for 24-48 hours for your edited photos to be sent to your email.
PayPal is available as a payment method for orders, however they take a very high processing fee. It remains available because of their pay-in-four feature that can be a great benefit to riders especially when everything else in life is only getting more expensive. If you are not using this instalment feature, please consider using one of the many other payment methods available, such as Apple Pay, google pay, credit card, or direct debit.
An additional travel fee will be included for all photoshoots over 15km from Launceston, Tasmania.
A travel fee may be requested at photographers discretion for horse events in the north west or south of the state.
Each booking is unique and comes with its own perks! The amount of photos included is dependent on which session you choose. However, if you love more than what you initially select, additional photos can be purchased at a small cost.
Yes! I am registered with an ABN, the number is 57 971 765 996
To continue protecting our sport and riders I have a WWVP card, police check, public liability insurance, and Equestrian Victoria media accreditation
