Welcome

If you’re here, it means you’re sick of the same old family photographs, and I am so excited because I’m sick of them too! It means you want family memories, but not fake ones. It means you’re ready to embrace the combination of messiness and beauty that makes life so rich and extraordinary.

I offer people like you a different approach to photographing your family. A real approach. An authentic approach. A raw approach …and all of those other fun words that you can think of. I document you and your family, as is. No posing, no cleaning faces, no matching clothes….heck! No clothes at all depending on your toddler! Just you, and this crazy season that all of us are in….let’s embrace the hell out of it!

Hi There,

I’m Sarah. That’s me to the right, getting overly stimulated by touch and noise of my two amazingly energetic boys. I love the absolute crap out of them and want their childhoods to be magical and beautiful. I work hard to do that for them and I want all of that work documented and remembered (sigh) long after I’m gone.
What about you?

“These made me cry!

I LOVE THEM. It's so crazy seeing my life in a different perspective, the love that is shown. I'm there everyday and I never get to see it!"

Telling Your Story from the Beginning…

I’m sitting here, in my kitchen, looking at all of the stuff I need to clean. The counter is sticky from this morning’s cereal that wasn’t cleaned up. There’s Pokemon cards scattered across the floor amongst the crumbs from said cereal. And there’s laundry piled high that needs to be cleaned, or folded, or put away. But you know what? It’s quiet. The boys are in school full time and my days are much less chaotic. I remember wishing for these days. Wishing I could get 30 minutes of their naps overlapping for just a smidge of “me-time.” Now that moment is here and I have zero clue where that time went?

I was lucky enough to be a stay-at-home mom for 5 years. Through the tantrums, cuddles, potty-training, no-napping and constant entertaining, I would have loved for someone to come and take notice. For me to be seen and to be a witness to that extraordinary time in not just my life, but my kids’ lives with no judgement. It’s what I hope to give to you now.
From their birth and far beyond it….take the damn photos.
