family photo sessions
During your session, I'll walk you through natural moments + effortless captures in beautiful light. A ceremony in its own right. I'm going to remind you to breathe. To relax your shoulders and suspend your disbeliefs. I'll choreograph you through movement, prompts, and direction to keep you floating.
Location + scouting, optimal timing for lighting, clothing pointers and scene setting - every element involved in the design of your session is something we will address
Within 48 hours, I give you a preview of 10 images from our time together to keep you satisfied as I work through editing your session!
Within 2 weeks, I will deliver your completed photo gallery to your email in the form of a link. Your file downloads come in both web-sized + high resolution files for posting and printing needs.

LOVE NOTES FROM CLIENTS
"Working with Sarah felt so "right" for both myself and my husband. Her presence is friendly and natural, her style of photography offers depth and intimacy."
"Sarah quite literally captured our essence, and photographed us in a way that I only dream of us being - and cannot ever grasp with my own camera."
"The photos Sarah took are far more than a photoshoot - it is a legacy we will forever hold. Sarahs attention to the the subtle details, the stolen moments, and the little glimpses into reality of mothering will forever be cherished."

QUESTIONS I'M FREQUENTLY ASKED...
+ WHAT IF RAIN IT'S SUPPOSED TO RAIN DURING OUR SCHEDUELED SESSION?
+ DO YOU HELP WITH WARDROBE SELECTIONS? I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD WEAR...
+ DO YOU OFFER MINI SESSIONS? MY CHILDREN WON'T LAST VERY LONG...
+ DO YOU TRAVEL FOR SESSIONS? WE ARE A LITTLE FAR FROM YOU, BUT STILL WANT TO BOOK!
As soon as the weather forecast is available, I am monitoring it to reschedule your session to a fair weather day if needed well before the day of. In the cloudy rainy season, I limit the # of bookings I take on specifically for this reason, as we have less golden hours to choose from. I got you!
Yes! I am happy to help you narrow down your clothing decisions to ensure a wardrobe that is not distracting or taking away from the portraits, but enhancing them. I offer clothingi mood boards to describe what works, and what doesn't.
I do not offer mini sessions. In my opinion, and how I work, good things take time. Relaxing in front of the camera takes time. Children need space to warm up to me. I need relaxed moments to find + capture the beauty of the light, and your relationships.
I do! I have traveled across state lines + internationally for my clients. I offer custom travel package add ons to accommodate you no matter where you live.
packages + pricing
- The classic family photo session. My most popular, lifestyle based 2 hour photoshoot captured in soft light from the setting sun. Natural candids, meaningful details + picture perfect portraits. A yearly event for the safe keeping of your loved ones + their life's story.
- Built to capture your whole family tree. Grandparents, siblings, cousins, aunts + uncles. Profound portraiture for the whole family. A fantastic gift for the eldest among us. Stuning group shots, and all the smaller portrait groupings. It makes for a memorable gathering, perfect for the holidays when everyone is in town!
-For those who travel to my hometown and let me choose a location on my stomping grounds, I offer a special package for these quaint simple sessions that are stripped back in all the right ways.
