Once we’ve confirmed the details, you’ll secure your spot by signing a contract and paying $50 retainer to lock in your date. This officially gets your session on my calendar!

Your photos are carefully edited in my warm, true-to-life style and delivered through a beautiful online gallery - usually within a week (often sooner, because I can’t wait for you to see them!)

Download your images, order professional-quality prints, and share your story with family and friends. These photos are yours to enjoy for a lifetime.
Featured Work
“Sarah has an excellent eye for capturing the perfect moment and light. She did a ‘Mommy & Me’ photo shoot for my son and me. I'm forever thankful for her talent and effort she put into our photo shoot. She gently offered posing suggestions that they came naturally and felt genuine.
Her return time of the edited pictures was much faster than anticipated.
She really is very talented and a pleasure to work with.”
