My passion for photography began when I was in the darkroom of my high school film photography class. I loved learning about all the details that make a camera and film work. When my husband and I got engaged, he purchased our first digital camera from a co-worker for $50 and the cost of a lunch salad.
When my oldest daughter was born, I picked that passion back up and started photographing her at home. In 2009, a friend from my college photography class was the first client to hire me to take pictures of his wife expecting their first son. That was the launch of all of this.
I live and love in Tallahassee, Florida, my home state and where my husband and I are raising our family. I am mama to four little ones who are growing at the speed of light. My family is my passion.
Sarah-your photographer-Hey there! I'm- I'm a teacher by trade and graduated from Flagler College with a degree in Elementary Education.
- I am a creative person through and through and feel trapped if I don't have a creative outlet.
- Sunday is my favorite day of the week. I push the pause button on everything and enjoy it as a day of rest.
- I think I have a the best job in the world, getting to photograph families welcoming new babies into their homes.
- Having a baby in 2020 was a wild time but also the best possible quarantine distraction. If someday, your kiddos are older and you still feel that tug to have another baby, go for it. It will bring such joy to watch your older children love a baby sibling. 100%, I recommend it.

My favorite motherhood quote
“She 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 or visiting, reading, music, and drawing.
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!”
-Elizabeth Prentiss, "Stepping Heavenward," published 1869

Sundays
How do we do it? How do we get so much timeless, innocent, childhood magic in one quick interaction?
It’s a well practiced process and Santa and I have it down.
We’ve slowed it down a bit to give a “behind the scenes” of what a session is like. Although these sessions are only 4-5 minutes, as you’ll see, they feel like time stops just for your child with Santa… and all the while, I’m there capturing it all beautifully in frozen bits of time.
Sessions are now booking through the link in my profile.

Alford Park mini sessions are tomorrow!
I just had one timeslot open up at 9 AM. If you want it, grab it! Mark fall photos off your list. Don’t overthink the outfits in a case like this, everyone has blue and white/cream/khaki and I can promise you everyone looks good in blue and white/cream.
Book it at the link in my bio.
I’ll see you tomorrow!

I absolutely love my work. Swaddling a little babe, catching sweet moments with siblings. I am so blessed to get to do this and I thank you each time you invite me into your spaces to do this for you. #tallahassee #tallahasseemomsconnect #tallahasseephotographer #tallahasseenewbornphotographer #ihearttally
It’s been a challenge this past year behind-the-scenes. Moving from .net to .com was less than smooth. After a lot of help from @melissaarlena with @pictureperfectrankings and support from our hosting company, things are finally back on track. Whew! #seo #smallbusiness #tallahassee #tallahasseephotographer #ihearttally #tallahasseelocal #floridaphotographer
