Every stage IS important because they're all part of your family story,

it’s the connections, details, and In-between moments you’ll CHERISH MOST.

“DOCUMENTATION IS A LOVE LETTER YOU WRITE YOUR FUTURE SELF.”

Our CONNECTIONS MATTERS

A picture is worth a thousand words and there is much beauty to be found in everyday moments - comforting a baby, a loving touch when a child skins a knee, sweet snuggles, jumping in a pile of laundry, fuzzy newborn ears, first curls, and a lovey with little tears from all of the love. I want you to remember all of the things you haven’t even thought you might miss and the feelings that will tug at your heart when you look back. Memories change and fade, but photographs are living documents that help you relive and hold onto your stories and the feelings within.

Every stage matters because it’s all connected to your larger family story and I’m there for it all. And as an experienced early childhood special educator, nothing phases me. I want you to feel comfortable to be who you all are and to be fully authentic the day of the session. This means I prioritize getting to know each other and building our relationship through regular communications throughout the process. You won’t just book a date. We will spend time ahead of your session getting to know each other so you feel at ease and I can capture your most authentic selves.

Let’s tell your family story.

 

KIND WORDS

“Sara is simply wonderful! Her work captures the detailed moments that make your heart just melt and in such a way that her images speak for themselves. When you hire Sara, you will feel her passion not only for photography but for getting to know you and your family.”

ALLI A.

KIND WORDS

“Sara captured personalities, character traits, connections, energy, reflections, feelings, love, etc., in us as individuals, sisters, partners and as a family. Real photographs (I now realize) are the ones that capture life in motion. It’s the space between the obvious that we are trying to see and what we want to remember.”

MARISA C.

KIND WORDS

“Sara is not only an incredibly talented photographer but a compassionate and respectful person. Given her area of focus in newborn shoots, she created so much ease and comfort for our family – no pressure, no forced poses or timeframes. She really understands the family's needs during this unique time. Her photos are absolutely beautiful, natural, and capture the emotion the family is feeling. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone (and already have!).”

ERIN S.
