Active Lifestyle

Sabrina Helas got herself fired from corporate America so she could work for real people like you! Tired of the fake and drawn to the genuine, she abandoned the entertainment industry and followed her soul’s longing to bring people joy through her professional endeavors.

She’s an eco-conscious “Anti 9-5”er who runs two boutique photography businesses and an urban refuge to mainstream life in her home—complete without television

Her flagship business, Cookies and Water Photography mixes the vintage perspective of documentary-style photography with a genuine understanding of dogs and their nuances. She shoots our canine companions in their space, on their time, because she understands capturing their essence is only possible when they feel free to be playful and comfortable on familiar ground.
In her newest endeavor, Milk and Cookies Photography, she specializes in exhibiting every child’s spontaneous and gigantic personality by using natural light and organic setups found at home or parks, or the like. Helas’ childlike spirit guides her intuitive way of shooting kids, and her understanding of light and circumstance bring honesty to each photo.
After spending her whole life in the urban environments of San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles; and being sensitive to the current state of the world, she has made it her mission to take things back to basics. Everything is shot digitally, which eliminates film and its chemical processing.

All supplies in her home-office are recycled (including her desk), and all business is conducted online eliminating carbon-footprint paper trails. She is currently transforming her home into a sustainable homestead by growing her own fruits, vegetables and herbs and replacing lawn with draught resistant succulents and alternative ground covers. Though she dreams about having chickens and goats some day, at the moment the only non-human in her house is her personal joy—a rescued, huggable hound named Kramer.
