Sarah is a fantastic photographer! Our engagement photos came out more dreamy and romantic than I could have ever imagined. Sarah was very personable and made the whole process feel easy! She was quick to reply to any messages while we planned the shoot and very friendly and understanding. I sent several reference pictures and ideas, and she made each and every one a reality. During the shoot she kept checking in, making sure me and my fiancé felt comfortable and making sure we were satisfied with the variety of pictures we took. She truly cares about her customers and their stories, and makes sure they are satisfied with her services. Our engagement photos are so special, and we will cherish them for a lifetime!

Sarah is a true professional. She quickly responded to my inquiry. She made me feel comfortable during discussions. She arrived early. She has a fun and pleasant personality along with excellent photography skills. Our sneak peak shots went above our expectations.

Sarah has been so amazing right from the start! She not only helped us keep the cost within our budget, but she did the hard work of finding a high school with a black track that was similar to our home track. She responded quickly to my texts, and patiently responded to each of my requests and concerns. My daughter created collages of all the poses she liked (3 pages worth!) , and Sarah hit almost every one of them perfectly! She was able to get our sneak peak to my inbox in less than 24 hours, and I was so overwhelmed with how beautifully she portrayed my daughter in those photos! I had no idea that Senior photos could touch your heart like these have. I will treasure them forever. Thank you Sarah for your talent and the pleasure of working with you!

You and your daughter were the kindest and sweetest clients. It was a n honor to capture a culmination of her amazing high school career. I cannot wait to work with your family in the future!

We needed someone in Cleveland to shoot some engagement photos at the Cleveland Arcade while we visited. I found Sarah on Thumbtack and she was the perfect choice! She was so easy to work with, very responsive, and gave direction when needed so we looked our best. Our shoot was a lot of fun and our photos speak for themselves. I’d choose Sarah again without hesitation! Thank you for capturing our special moment!
