meet your photographer
Hi! I'm Saarah. I have been a photographer in the area since 2018 but have been rebranding + rebuilding since having my daughter in 2024. I am happily married to my middle school sweetheart. We live life with our 2 babies + 1 fur baby. I am a lover of travel + good food, rainy days, the beach + salty air, coffee, and Jesus.
My heart is to serve and love others through my life, my communication, and my business.
"youth and age touch only the surface of our lives."

what to expect -
effortless moments and meaningful engagement
These are more than sessions. They are real moments, with real people, consumed with real love. It should feel effortless and the results should be an accurate representation of who you are - individually and together. Each person matters and each person is a part of something whole. Something bigger.
I value genuine connection before, during, and after your session. My style is a mix of lightly posed and candid lifestyle photography. End results are usually warmer hues, natural light, and varies between true to color and moody albums. I try to capture the uniqueness of each individual, family, and couple in the final album while still honoring my personal style.

Frequently Asked Questions
what if there is bad weather?
Things happen! I try to allow flexibility for re-scheduling if there must be weather-related cancelations. However, I do my best to be pro-active and reschedule ahead of time if possible.
are your packages customizable?
Yes, most are! I get it, not everyone needs the same thing. I try to allow the space for reasonable adjustments. Adjustments can also include add-ons (additional images, entry fees, additional mileage, rush editing, etc.) Inquire for more details.
How long does it take to get our photos?
Average turnaround time for basic packages is about 2 weeks. However, this can vary based on season and which package you pick. If your package comes with unlimited images or if you purchase a high amount of additional images, please expect an additional 1-2 weeks. Weddings + elopements can take up to 4-8 weeks. This may vary slightly during peak season. Rush editing is available to add starting at $50, guaranteeing final album within 72 hours.
Do you have any discounts?
Yes! I provide year-round discounts for active military, active first responders, teachers, + parents of special needs children/adults (Accessible Moments Discount). A license or ID will be required upon booking to receive your discount. If these do not apply to you, please feel free to follow my FB page, as any special offers, giveaways, or promotions will be shared there!
Returning clients always receive a discount.
How much does it cost to book?
There is a non-refundable retainer of $75 or 25% of total booking cost (whichever is greater) due at the time of booking. The retainer along with an agreement form is required to secure your date.
What style do you specialize in?
I would describe my work as focusing on authentic moments with natural light and warm hues. Ultimately, I try to focus on a final product that accurately reflects the families and couples I am capturing, while still honoring my personal style. I love utilizing natural highlights and shadows, and sometimes that creates a dreamier cinematic product or sometimes it will create free-flowing soft glows. Aside from the couples and families, the light inspires me!
where are your wedding packages?
Elopement coverage starts at $450, with wedding packages starting at $1,100. Full-day coverage (8-9 hours) begins at $2,200.
Please reach out with the details of your special day to receive a personalized digital package guide with full coverage options and add-ons.
