The thing I've come to love most about photography is the people and communities I get to capture and the sweet, everyday moments that become permanent pieces they can treasure. Whether you're an engaged couple or two people on their wedding day, a growing family or a community fostering connection, life always seems to happen too fast.

Before you know it, your wedding day seems like a blur; you blink and your kids are growing up too fast; and all those special moments you never wanted to forget are getting fuzzy with each passing day.

Photographs help make those special memories more permanent.

My favorite aspect of photographing people, whether it's during a big, once-in-a-lifetime event or everyday moments in your home, is getting to freeze time for just a second and allowing that moment to stand as an artifact of a life worth lived. 

Let's document your special moments so you'll never forget. 

 

Hi, I'm Sarah. I'm so happy you're here. 

I'm a lifestyle and portrait photographer who believes in taking more than just photos. As both a writer and visual artist, I think there's power in telling stories. I find that my favorite photographs are often the unplanned, unposed moments that I happen to catch on film. I would describe my style as creative, documentary photography, with a touch of traditionalism. That essentially means that my shoots become a mix of improvised play and laid-back photographic direction. So, I might make you stop, breathe, and take in the moment with me while we're out frolicking on a shoot. It's like the photoshoot becomes a story, too. 

So, are you ready?

Let's share your story. 

When not out on a shoot, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two sweet boys in our home in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. I start each day with a cup of tea and a desire to capture life's beautiful moments.
