I’ve lived in the DC area for about ten years, and I love it. I like to read and catch up with friends (in more typical times), meander museums, and find excellent cheese, bourbon/gin, and brunch. In March 2020, I adopted a wonderful tuxedo cat named Ziti, and he's been amazing company this weird, tough year. Recently I've been getting into homemade craft cocktails, which has been a fabulous learning/drinking experience. I'd eat an egg and cheese on English muffin any time of the day, and I once spent 3 weeks hiking the Appalachian Trial solo. I'd love to sky dive one day, but bungee jumping (and, scuba diving) freak me out.
I love serving the world by capturing people’s deep love for each other in timeless, cherished photographs. Explore my portfolio and allow me the privilege of doing your next portrait session! LGBTQ+ and disability friendly.
When I’m not busy with my project management day job and working on my photography, you can catch me planning travel to faraway places – some of my favorites have been Tanzania, Peru, Greece, Cambodia, and Ireland. I'd also go back to Harry Potter World in a heartbeat. Fingers crossed traveling becomes an option again soon!

"From scheduling, to her advice with styling, the specific location and making sure everything was easy on a hectic day. She was always kind and helpful from the beginning of the process until the end. Sarah was so patient and kind to my twins, especially when my daughter was less than cooperative during the session. However, the pictures are beautiful and you’d never know we had a tantrumming 5 year old subject. My family and I will treasure these photos forever!"

"Minni and her family felt “extremely comfortable! Especially for a camera-shy husband and an indifferent infant, you were patient and so accommodating of us.” and noted, “You were so wonderful in the prep work, willing to hear me out as I planned our outfits and you were so helpful on the day.” 10/10!"

"Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with! She made the entire process easy starting with coordinating dates and times, helping us narrow down locations for shooting, giving us tips and things to think about for the day of, and coaching us through the session. Sarah got some great shots of us near the Capitol and helped us commemorate our “official” wedding day in DC. We highly recommend Sarah and look forward to working [with] her again. Thank you so much Sarah!!"

"We had pictures taken two years ago, and were super-happy with the results. Sarah, your expertise in picking locations and your guidance during the session are invaluable. The Style Guide is definitely helpful. We used it to coordinate colors and also to better understand what to expect. You absolutely made us comfortable! And it shows in the pictures! Usually our daughter is somewhat camera-shy, but you even managed to get her so comfortable that she wanted to take her own pictures with you!"

"We took photos with a sleepy 2 year old at 7am but Sarah got some great smiles out of him! She was low-key and easy to work with. She was so great with our 2 year old and was able to get photos that we will treasure forever!"

"You were so patient with everybody. It was great.” The best part of the experience was, “the way you gently guided us through the session. You were open to suggestions but then tweaked things to improve the images, which was awesome because we felt comfortable asking for what we wanted but also received the benefit of your professional expertise."

"My boys are 12 and 14 and the thought of ‘formal’ pictures was a nightmare to them. She made it easy and comfortable. She worked at their pace and was patient with their teen/preteen nonsense. She captured moments of brotherly love that would’ve otherwise been missed – which, in turn, created one of my FAVORITE pictures. I’m so thankful she was able to capture such a special time in their lives from the viewpoint of me, their mom."

"Sarah took my absolute favorite photo of our family a few years ago during the cherry blossom season-- literally no other photographer has been able to get all three of my kids looking at the camera and smiling at the same time."

"Sarah's pre-emails were extremely helpful and prepared us for everything. If I hadn't read those, I probably wouldn't have gotten my nails done or cleaned my ring, two very necessary parts of our session. She was accommodating about the weather and the timing. She also scouted the location beforehand, which we found helpful!"
