My name is Sara Turbyfill. I’m a graphic designer and photographer based in Denver, Colorado. Although I enjoy graphic design and photography in my free time, I started Sara Turbyfill Photography & Design to showcase my portfolio and offer services to others.

Graphic Design Masterclass: The Next Level

Although I’m confident in my skills and abilities as a designer, I find it’s important to learn something new every day. As a result, I continue to take courses and read books on graphic design to stay up to date with current design trends. I specialize in branding, digital design, logo creation, and print design.

Photo Editing

Graphic design and photo editing go hand in hand; you can’t have one without the other. Even though the two are similarly related, I approach photo editing with a photographer’s background. I have over 10 years of experience in photography, but I still take pictures that are less than perfect. This is where photo editing comes into play.

Photo editing requires the use of third-party software to enhance images and remove imperfections. I specialize in all areas of photo editing, including photo retouching and removing the background from an image.

Photography

As mentioned earlier, I have a solid background in photography. When I got my first camera in high school, I started out by taking pictures of things around the house. Over the years, I’ve improved my photography skills and take pictures nearly everywhere I go. My photography certifications are listed below.

Digital Photography for Beginners

Although I focus primarily on travel photography and wildlife photography, I have experience in portrait photography as well. I now provide my photography services for engagements, graduations, portraits, special events, weddings, and more.

Saving the Manatees

When I was a child, I went on a shopping trip with my mom. We visited a department store, where she bought a stuffed seal for me. As we walked through the parking lot on our way out, I proudly held my new stuffed animal in my arms. Being the clumsy person that I am, I dropped my toy halfway to the car. I shouted, “Ugh, naughty. Don’t jump away from me.” I frantically picked up my stuffed animal and brushed off the dirt. On the car ride home, I decided to name my new stuffed animal Naughty.

Once home, I asked my mom what kind of seal Naughty was. She grabbed the tag to read what it said. Naughty wasn’t a seal at all; in fact, he was a West Indian manatee. Growing up in Texas, I had never heard of a manatee before. My mom did a search online and found several articles on manatees. We quickly learned that the West Indian manatee lived in Florida and was critically endangered.

From this point on, I became obsessed with manatees. I wanted to become a marine biologist and save them. During my youth, I spent much of my time reading about manatees and other sea creatures. Whenever possible, I featured manatees in my school projects. In junior high, I even wrote a poem about these gentle giants. Like I said, I was obsessed.

My Passion for Wildlife Never Faded

Although I never pursued my dream of becoming a marine biologist and saving the manatees, my love for wildlife never faded. I still enjoy spending time outside and photographing wildlife. In recent years, I’ve even discovered a passion for birdwatching. I have my mom to thank for that as well. As a kid, I remember her having several bird books lying around the house. Anytime a new species would sit at the bird feeder, she’d grab a book and quickly identify it.

Until I got older, I never knew how exciting birdwatching and wildlife photography could be. With the help of the internet, I’ve connected with birdwatchers and wildlife photographers from around the world. I love using this platform to share photographs, learn about places for wildlife watching, and discover new travel destinations. To view my recent wildlife photographs, click the button below.
