Hi there, I’m Sara.

I’ll be honest—my birth certificate said Sarah but in kindergarten I made my first big executive decision and lost the H.

I am a big people person on most days and a hermit on days where I'm recovering from the hype of 10-hour weddings. I am known to serve big energy and copious terrible dad jokes, and I have a zero-tolerance policy for unkind people because what’s the point. I am always exploring what makes me happy, pushing boundaries, and (according to my pals) usually talking too loudly in public.

I feel that my purpose in this weird life is to love as hard as possible, to spread good, to laugh as often as I can, and to find ways to bring people together. Through my work, I am passionate about finding & capturing moments in life that show human connection in all of its emotional, beautiful, messy, magical forms. When my camera is down, I am equally as passionate about serving people and helping guide them through some of the best (but let’s be honest, also most stressful) events & celebrations they’ll ever host or partake in.

At the core of everything, the human connection of it all is my “why.” Through my 10 years as a professional photographer, I have met the most wonderful strangers who quickly turn into lifelong friends. I have attended and third-wheeled hundreds of people's "best days," which I feel is a true privilege. I have captured so many “firsts”—from family photos with 7-day-old fresh babies to engagements + weddings with couples stepping into new relationship titles. I have also had the honor of capturing unequivocally precious “lasts”—the last photos of a grandparent with their grandchild, the last time everyone you know & love will ever be in one place, and the love-drunk last dances. I see such beauty in every fleeting moment.

As your photographer, I can promise you a few things. I will feel emotions with you. I will be on your team & in your corner to ground you when you’re nervous and cry with you when you’re overjoyed. I will give you 200% of myself and be your hype girl & biggest fan, and I will throw your aunt’s phone in the sea if she doesn’t obey your unplugged wedding request. I will make sure that by the end of the day, you feel like a friend has simply been following you around with a camera. I will capture moments that you'll want to share not only on Instagram, but with your children & their children (if you’re into that kind of thing). I will also lose my mind if “Yeah” by Usher comes on at your reception… & those are all of my promises.

I’ll also let you know now that hiring me is not hiring a ~vendor~ who will send you a contract & say toodles until we take your pictures. From the moment you reach out until the day you walk down the aisle, or get in front of my camera, I will be there for you 100%. On the day of your celebration, I will say almost anything to make you laugh, will taste every dessert (to make sure none are poison!) & will tear up the dance floor with your grandma.

At the end of the day, time is so, so fleeting. But photos can always take us back to a feeling, a time, and a place. My goal is to be that time machine. And I am so obsessed with my job that it often doesn't click that I'm working. How lucky am I to get to hang out with you on some of your "best days?!"

My sixth grade teacher once gave me a detention and said no one would ever want to work with me because I talk too much, so if you decide to have me as your photographer, you and I can prove her wrong… together. 

If you think I might be your cup of tea / the third wheel you’ve been dreaming of, drop me a line! I can’t wait to hear from you.

Sara (no H)
