    Sarah Justice continues to be such a pleasure to work with for over five years. She has always been extremely efficient and prompt in her work but most importantly her retouching skills are phenomenal. Sarah can literally take any picture sent her way and make everyone look like movie stars! I have called on Sarah in a last minute panic on many occasions and she ALWAYS comes through for me, willing to meet any specific request. Sarah's work is unmatched and always perfection! I really don't know what I would do without the comfort of knowing I can ALWAYS count on her and trust in her ability. I look forward to continuing our working relationship together. Thank you Sarah for all that you continue to do.

    Thank you so much for the one of the 3 different pictures of the shoes that was done in pink. It is mine and Brooks favorite. Thank you again. You did an amazing job.

    My experience was wonderful, better than I could have hoped for. The actual session was very comfortable and relaxed. After the shoot I received the proofs the next day. Package prices were by far the most reasonable in Jax and she was able to create exactly what I was looking for. Had an amazing eye and captured poses and lighting exactly how I had pictured. I received the final photos very quickly and they were beyond beautiful. I look forward to working with Sarah again, for a newborn photo shoot :)

    I have loved both of my experiences while shooting with Sarah of CLD Photography. She makes everyone involved feel so comfortable and isn't afraid to try different things to get a good picture. I would Cherish-Live-Dream photography to anyone looking to have fun, be yourself and be comfortable and all the while getting some good pictures.

    Amazing! Everyone - and I mean everyone who has seen my website has commented on how great the picture is. Comments such as "Wow - you look so good in that picture", I even had a stranger comment "what a nice picture". Cherish-Live-Dream Photography will always be my first call when I want photos and Sarah Justice will always be the first person I recommend when I have friends in need of a photographer. Anyway I wanted to thank you so much for your patience and generosity in taking so many pictures. You are truly a professional

    Sarah is amazing! She is very talented in her craft and almost anything else she wants to accomplish. She is detail oriented not only with taking the actual photographs but I consider her to be a retouch expert! She also keeps her client's needs and wants in mind. She is very friendly to work with and makes any adjustments as needed. I have recommended Sarah many times and will continue to do so. I have used Sarah for some of my business photograhy and will feature her on my new websites coming soon! Thanks Sarah!

    We had a great experience with Sarah- it was so much fun. She is easy to work with, flexible and has great ideas. She even suggested some shots that turned out to be amazing- I would never have thought of them on my own. I am booking her again for another job already-cant wait!

Question and answer

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. Portraits and fantasy sets are my most commonly sought out sessions.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. The advice I'd give, is to take advantage of your pre-session consultation. It will allow you to get the most of your time on photo day.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. If I was a customer, I'd want to know how something that looks so "normal" on a photography set can look amazing after the session and the prints are done. The inside secret is the lighting. When the room lights are all on the sets look plain, but once the strobes fire, they are gorgeous.

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. Important information to know is what do you wish to have as the final outcome of the photo session. When we are on the same creative page the outcome is outstanding.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. My work stands out from others because of the individual time and consideration I make for each client. I like to not only create magical images, but make the experience one that will be enjoyed.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. I like working with people and making connections. I enjoy seeing children grow and how they change between photo sessions.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. The most commonly question asked is "How soon can I get the final product?". My answer is "Normally in two weeks, but if you have a deadline we can try for sooner."

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. I wish they knew how hard I try to please. I get so nervous at first and I chatter nonstop.

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. I am a graphic designer/retoucher by trade. I have retouched photographs for others for the past 12 years. In this time, I have reverse engineered photography. It just clicked with me and I decided to start taking my own photos.

Q. Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.

A. A young lady that came in for a session of classic boudoir photos for her husband that was out-to-sea with the Navy. She came in expecting just a regular session, but we gave her the works. Four wardrobe changes, and three set changes. The final portraits were amazing and her husband was really "happy".

Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?

A. I am a member of the PPA, Professional Photographers Association, as well as NAPP, National Association of Photoshop Professionals. With these two memberships, I stay up-to-date on the latest trends and techniques through instructional articles and tutorials.

Q. What are the latest developments in your field? Are there any exciting things coming in the next few years or decade that will change your line of business?

A. Digital technology is advancing at amazing speeds. I suspect the pixel rating on cameras is going to continue to increase making the detail in portraits even more incredible. Photo manipulating software continues to become more intelligent making it easier for the average consume to use. I think these advances will actually make my field more difficult to succeed in due to the influx of new photographers in the market. Creative vision and talent will be the discerning factor in choosing a photographer.

Q. If you were advising someone who wanted to get into your profession, what would you suggest?

A. My advice would be to learn the basics and develop your own niche.
