Hi there, I'm
Sarah
I'm passionate about creating beautiful, emotive images that are reflections of natural moments filled with love. Lifestyle newborn photography is the heart of my business. That foundation then extends to all stages of family life, from maternity through your family's growing years.
Ā
As a mom of 4, I know how quickly the years go by. I know that as quickly as my nest was filled, one day it will empty.
Ā
If you're looking for a Tallahassee photographer who takes natural, gently guided photos that aren't overly posed and doesn't use props, then we'll be a great match.

My aunt told me this when I announced that I was pregnant with our first baby. Those words have stuck with me daily and have become the charge for my business. There are moments on the parenting journey that will challenge and try us, but ultimately they pass and we are on to the next moment. Soon, the sleepless nights will fade and those foggy days will be replaced with the bounciness of toddlerhood. Photography helps us remember the journey and the joys.
Ā
Now, as the mom of both littles and teens, I desire to see the goodness in each day, and bring my best self to it. I hope you'll do the same and allow me to help you remember that goodness in an image.
My favorite motherhood quote
āShe says I shall now have one mouth the more to fill and two feet the more to shoe, more disturbed nights, more laborious days, and less leisure for visiting, reading, music, and drawing.
Ā
Well! This is one side of the story, to be sure, but I look at the other. Here is a sweet, fragrant mouth to kiss; here are two more feet to make music with their pattering about my nursery. Here is a soul to train for God; and the body in which it dwells is worth all it will cost, since it is the abode of a kingly tenant. I may see less of friends, but I have gained one dearer than them all, to whom, while I minister in Christ's name, I make a willing sacrifice of what little leisure for my own recreation my other darlings had left me. Yes, my precious baby, you are welcome to your mother's heart, welcome to her time, her strength, her health, her tenderest cares, to her lifelong prayers! Oh, how rich I am, how truly, how wondrously blest!ā

These seasons with your family are fleeting.
I know that sounds like something you see on a sign at HomeGoods, but I mean it in the most practical, un-cheesy way possible: the version of your kids that exists right now will be different in six months.
The way your toddler laughs, the way your baby fits in the crook of your arm, the way your whole family piles onto the couch on a Tuesday night - it changes. Gradually and then all at once.
These photos were taken of my daughter on her last week of kindergarten this year. Her playful spirit, in her bedroom, wearing the dress she wore for their Peter Rabbit end of year program. All the sweetness of the year in a few snapshots. I will love them forever.
The photos I make for families are not about having a perfect day or a perfect outfit or perfect kids. They are about stopping long enough to say: this was us, right here, in this season.
That is worth something.
If you have been thinking about it, reach out. We will find a time that works for real life.

He studied everything first ā the trees, the park, me ā before he decided we were okay. And then? That smile. š Loved capturing this family`s time with their au pair under the soft Tallahassee light.

A few things I am loving lately that are helping me move through the juggling act with a little more sanity:
A single charging base on my nightstand. One cord. One base. Phone, Apple Watch, AirPods... all done. I waited way too long to make that little switch.
And honestly? The Chattanooga trip. Getting out of the daily routine and being intentional about time with my husband reminded me that those moments do not happen on their own. You have to actually put them on the calendar.
What is helping you feel more grounded lately? A mindset shift, a habit, a snack you are unreasonably committed to? Hit reply or drop it in the comments - I am always adding to my list.
