Additionally, if you need to commemorate one of life’s most meaningful chapters: from a new baby to joining the Senior Model Team or wedding day, Sarah brings the same level of artistry, care, and attention to detail to every frame. And if you’ve never loved yourself in photos, that’s where her expertise truly shines. With an eye for beauty and an instinct for connection, Sarah makes even the most camera-shy client feel at ease, transforming hesitation into confidence, and confidence into art.
