  • "Sarah did mine and my husbands wedding last week. She also did our engagement pictures last summer. I honestly cannot recommend her enough! She made us feel so comfortable during both days and my husband actually enjoyed having his picture taken! Sarah is extremely creative and amazing at what she does! Her editing style is so natural and exactly what we were looking for. I’ve already gotten so many compliments on my pictures and people wondering who shot them! On top of all that, she is soooooo quick with getting sneak peeks back! We love Sarah and can’t wait for her to shoot our family as it grows over the years! 100000000% recommend Sarah!"

  • “Sarah took amazing photos for our family session with her! She made it seamless and easy, which is what we needed with a 2 year old and 5 year old! A quick 20 minute session and she got every photo we needed. She is a natural behind the camera and takes beautiful photos. I could not recommend her enough!”

  • "Sarah has been taking our family pictures since the fall of 2020. She has been there for every family milestone since. From photographing our son’s yearly birthday pictures, to our engagement pictures, to our wedding, to the pregnancy announcement of our daughter, new born photos of our daughter and now her first birthday pictures. These photos that Sarah has taken of us through the years will be photos we get to look back on for years to come. Our family couldn’t be more thankful for Sarah, and for finding a photographer who has also become a dear friend of ours. 😊 Book the session and get the pictures taken, I promise you won’t regret it."
