What people are saying...


Home in Missoula reflecting on my experience in Bali with an amazing group of enlightened individuals, I had the pleasure to meet the gifted Lucy Sager and she introduced me to a new vision of myself. Through the series of photos she captured, I was able to gather a perspective of true internal love for my spirit that she encompasses so well in many of her images. She took me to the stairs and let me get comfortable but as we were shooting, it started to rain. I felt absolutely delighted to feel so connected with the water and she captured my bliss. Another of my absolute favourites was on our walk through the town and we came across a lion statue. Someone said, imagine having the ferocity of a lion in your passions and I felt taken over by the spirit and power that mirrored the lion. Lucy once again captured my soul in a still shot. I can now recall the passion and strength whenever I look at the image. So many stories for other images but these are my favourite. Truly an honour.... Chase G.


I had the privilege of meeting Lucy in Bali at a yoga retreat. We had an instant connection and we offered to trade services with one another. The way Lucy works through her camera and lens with such passion, integrity and conviction is something that I have never experienced. Her energy was patient, professional, calming and before I knew it the photoshoot was done. The images Lucy captured brought me profound embodiment. Thank you for reflecting back to me through your lens and sharing your enormous heart with the world and capturing people's stories one click at a time... Sara


I worked with Lucy on a retreat I hosted in Bali and the way she captures moments are exquisite, her photos are truly art. The composition and lighting create a deeper narrative that make you want to know more. I'm so impressed by her photography and her growing body of work, the way she can see and create feeling and meaning in every photo. Working with Lucy was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her exceptional talent, professionalism and dedication to her craft make her a standout choice in the world of photography... Karen P. Blissed Out Yoga & Fitness.
