I believe that photography offers a magic ability to capture a special moment. That is always my aim when working for my clients, whether it's getting a shot of a sweet moment shared between a newly engaged couple or the big "I do"!
I have 15 years of photography experience in subjects ranging from wildlife and landscapes to graduate portraits and weddings. No matter my subject, my goal is always capturing the truest essence and the feeling behind a memory.

Sarah was fantastic for our maternity shoot which included our dog. She was very patient, knowledgeable, and made us feel very comfortable. I would hire her again & recommend her to others.

Sarah is absolutely incredible. I had her help capture my surprise engagement and she was fantastic, she was so responsive and thoughtful, it took a huge weight off my shoulders. She arrived early, blended into the background, captured amazing photos, was super friendly and personable, and (maybe best of all) took beautiful photos. Turnaround time was super quick, I’d hire her to take every picture of me for the rest of my life if I could. If you want to hire a photographer and just not have to worry about a single detail, hire Sarah!
Details: Couples portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Home • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

I live in the Midwest and traveled to Napa to propose to my girlfriend. The first photographer I had booked pulled out with only a week to go so I was panicking a bit. In short notice, Sarah was extremely responsive and accommodating to the location and time of my proposal. She showed up early, stayed hidden, and captured wonderful photos of our special moment! I highly recommend Sarah as your photographer.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I calculate my pricing based on the amount of time that I will be hired for your photoshoot. I require a $100 non-refundable deposit at the time of booking to reserve your date. The remainder of your payment is due before the final photo gallery is delivered.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new customer, I like to correspond with them to discuss their desires for the shoot. I like to know as many details as possible so I can prepare adequately, and I also want to know their preferences so that we are both as happy as possible with the end result.
Ultimately, I want the photos to portray the essence of the person and event that I'm photographing. So I want to get to know my clients to make sure that essence comes through.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was trained early on by my father, who was also a professional photographer. I went on to take some photography classes in college, and I am still constantly working to further my knowledge and training by attending online conferences, sending photos to review boards, and more.
