Telling Your Love Story
Through Authentic Images That Last A Lifetime
Transforming Love Stories
Into Works Of Art
Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and you deserve to bask in the joy and excitement of it all –from your wedding vows to the bouquet toss and everything in between.
I’m here to capture those raw, unfiltered, and romantically intimate moments you felt on the day so you can relive them for the rest of your life.
There are a lot of moving pieces to planning your big day, and finding your dream photographer is only one part of the process. And I get it. Photography can be a big investment –which is why our work begins way before I ever pick up the camera. It starts with getting to know you, learning about your story, your vision, and building a genuine connection so you can show up on the day as your truest, brightest self.
Every aspect of working together is intentional. With over 120 weddings photographed, I bring your vision to life through beautifully curated images of your love story as it unfolds before, during, and after your wedding day.
From the cliffside beaches of California to the rustic-chic barns of Texas and beyond, I’m there to capture the big and small moments you never want to forget.
As your photographer and newest friend, my job is to guide you through your day, be the calm presence you probably didn’t know you needed, and make you feel comfortable and confident so you can be your natural self in front of the camera. After the day, you’ll walk away with timeless photos that capture the truest essence of your story.

Sarah is the best!
Very friendly, professional and her pictures are beautiful! I personally really dislike having my picture taken, but she makes me feel very comfortable. She's also very patient with my 3 young daughters and helped direct us so we get great pictures but shoots don't
take forever! I highly recommend her!

Sarah's exceptionally professional while maintaining a fun, personable nature.
Having worked with a number of photographers over the years, Sarah is everything you could ever ask for. She's exceptionally professional while maintaining a fun, personable nature.
I loved that I could put aside my type-A personality and just trust that she had everything planned.

Sarah knows how to get the best and most natural shots.
Sarah is the best! She did our engagement shoot in the spring and our wedding in October! She is personable, sweet, fun, funny, and so warm! She is so easy and fun to work with! And fast! She knows how to get the best and most natural shots. My family and bridal party loved her! She knows exactly what she is doing. I can't wait to do another session with her in the future! I can't wait to see all the wedding photos too! It will be like Christmas morning when we see them! She sent some us over to us the night of the wedding and they were lovely!

Our wedding photos looked amazing. Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with on our big day.
Her style has a very natural feel and the emotions she captures in her portraits are genuine. We wanted wedding photos that felt real rather than overly slick. We met her in advance and she has such an easy going nature. It was very easy to work with her given all the photos that occur.
We had an outdoor wedding and she did an amazing job with the bright sun and dusk. The photos she took captured so many special moments that every time we look at the photos we feel we are reliving the moment. I would highly recommend working with Sarah for anyone looking for a stress free wedding or event with beautiful photos!

Sarah is a ROCKSTAR photographer!
I just had my wedding photos taken by Sarah and WOW I love them! I've had shoots before with photographers where the photos look great, but I look completely uncomfortable and awkward. Sarah was a total comedian the whole time, making me laugh and feel so comfortable,
I will definitely be hiring Sarah again and recommend her to all my friends. I looked at her wedding portfolio and the shots are so beautiful and evoke real emotion. Thank you Sarah!!

Sarah is a dream to work with!
Sarah did both a maternity session for me and a group family session after my son was born. She is a dream to work with! She is personable, gives great direction, and will put you at ease. She has a great eye for locations, framing, color, and light. She delivered images very promptly and provided a good variety, including detail, portrait, larger group, and wide shots. She even got great photos of my very serious husband. You won't be disappointed with her work!

Working with her is an absolute joy, and she EXCELS at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Sarah is the BEST! I hired Sarah to take photos for my business. She not only took the most beautiful headshots, she also took gorgeous photos of my work space and of me in action (as an yoga instructor). Working with her is an absolute joy, and she EXCELS at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
I will definitely be using Sarah in the future for family photos, and I've already begun referring her to my family and friends. Of course, you can always refer to her website to check out her wonderful work, but I wanted to write this review so you know that you are in excellent hands. She really cares about capturing the moments that are important to you. Thank you Sarah!!

Sarah is AMAZING!
Sarah is AMAZING -- she has this uncanny ability to pull fantastic pics out of the shyest and most awkward people (that would be me and my husband, and probably our newborn as well!). My husband and I hired her for engagement pics, and she made us feel SO comfortable (which resulted in awesome pics!) in an otherwise uncomfortable situation, that we hired her again as our wedding photographer, and then AGAIN as our pregnancy photographer! It's safe to say she's now an honorary member of our family since she's been there every step of the way, and we are SO happy we found her!

weddings
Your wedding day is going to be an unforgettable whirlwind that you’ll want to rewind and press play on in the weeks, months, and years to come. Every magical moment of your day deserves to be documented, from the tears you barely managed to hold back as you walked down the aisle to the joyous laughter that only comes from being in the center of the dance floor with all of your guests singing the same song in unison at the top of your lungs. I capture your most-loved moments so you can cherish them forever.
But like your love story, there’s no one-size-fits-all package when you book me as your wedding photographer. From the beginning of the planning process to the final gallery, I’ll work closely with you and your vendors to create the magical day you’ve always envisioned. My passion is to serve you in every way I can. The bonus is that you’ll receive photos worthy of the cover of a wedding magazine.

engagements
I’ll take a wild guess that your page-turning love story started long before the 8+ hours of your wedding day. Every part of your story deserves to be told. One of the best ways to do that is through stunning engagement photos that not only highlight the heart-warming romance of your relationship in a location that holds significance to you both but shows off you and your partner’s unique personalities.
I’m a big fan of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they give us a chance to know each other better, which, in turn, allows you to get comfortable in front of the camera before your big day. Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you. Love beaches? Let’s go there. Prefer cityscapes? That works too.
From location backdrops to complimenting outfits and everything in between, I make sure your engagement photos shine with love, laughter, and intimate authenticity. Did I mention pets are highly encouraged if you have them?

Portraits
Baby bumps turn into babies and toddlers into little misses (or misters!) faster than a blink of an eye. Time is precious, so let’s capture every second of it. Every beautiful stage of your growing family should be frozen in time with joyful images you can look at for years to come.
One of the best ways to capture magical memories of your sweet family is through portrait sessions that embody your unique lifestyle. Whether you prefer home sessions, wildflower fields, or styled studios, I’ll make sure your family photos become treasured memories you’ll never forget.

Yes. In my years of experience, I photographed a handful of events myself and quickly came to realize that having a second photographer allows there to be more variation in the angles captured and more detailed photos of your gorgeous florals, family members, candids, etc. A second photographer ensures everything will run smoothly and we can be in two places at once.
