Hello! Im Sara.

 

A smiling red-haired mother embraces her two young boys in a warm outdoor hug in a grassy field.

I’m a Wedding & family photographer who believes the best photos come from comfort, connection, and a little bit of trust.

I know being in front of the camera can feel awkward. That’s why I focus on creating a relaxed, welcoming experience where you don’t have to wonder what to do or how you look. I’ll gently guide you, keep things easy, and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.

I’m drawn to real life moments. The quiet ones, the joyful ones, and the ones that don’t always look perfect but feel like home. Those are the memories worth holding onto.


If you’re looking for photos that feel natural, meaningful, and true to you, you’re in the right place.

...exactly as it was.

Bride and groom in cowboy hat share romantic moment outdoors, bride holding white floral bouquet wearing veil.

I believe the best photos happen when you’re relaxed and being yourself. No stiff poses, no pressure to be “perfect”, just real moments, real connection, and a whole lot of heart.


Whether we’re soaking in newborn snuggles at home, chasing golden hour with a growing bump, or celebrating a wedding day filled with happy chaos, my goal is simple: to capture this moment exactly as it feels. The laughs, the quiet moments, the in-betweens you didn’t even realize were happening.


You show up as you are. I’ll take care of the rest.

Testimonials

Book the session! I wasn't sure exactly how the images would turn out with a toddler but, she got some amazing shots. Some of the "life moments" are my absolute favorites. Sara did a great job engaging everyone during the shoot, even my 75 year old dad!

I really look forward to working with her in the future!

Cassandra S.

Sara was so pleasant to work with! It’s not always easy taking photos with young children but she made it fun for my littles and got some amazing shots. I will forever cherish the photos she took of us. I would definitely book her again in the future!

Anna N.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Sara and we cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable and it truly felt like we were just spending time together, rather than posing for pictures. The way she captured the pure, raw moments between us. These aren’t just photos, they’re memories frozen in time that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Testimonials

Sara was absolutely amazing to work with! She was so warm and had such a positive energy. She took new born photos of our third baby that are so precious. She made it so easy for us even with a newborn and two rowdy toddlers. I would definitely recommend Sara and love to have her capture our family photos in the future!

Justine G.

I am absolutely in love with my photos! We needed some new family photos done and Sara definitely delivered. Not only is she a great photographer she definitely knows how to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera… she’s also very good at getting little ones attention

Karissa j.

Sara was amazing! Very patient and kind. We are a very “unserious” family and she allowed the kids to be themselves and kept everything simple and fun. I’d definitely recommend her. Pictures came out beautiful!
