When we shoot together, I work to provide you with a reliable, comforting atmosphere that helps you feel comfortable and at ease, guiding you to feel confident in front of the camera. My goal is for you to walk away with photos that feel genuine and truly you — capturing moments that make you feel as amazing as you look.
Capturing moments that make you feel seen
That feeling of awkwardness, with your arms hanging down by your side when trying to pose for a photo? Girl, I get it. But I’m here to tell you that we all deserve to feel beautiful and seen, especially during times we want to remember forever.
I'm here to make it easy, taking the stress out of coordinating schedules, locations, and outfits. With flexibility and wholehearted support, I'll help bring your vision to life — whether it's a denim-themed family shoot or a playful session that tells your unique story.
Photography that fits into your life, effortlessly
Finding time for photography in the busyness of life can be tough. And gathering everyone together for a session? That’s no small feat.
Life is busy, but I’ll help you make your photographer decision just a little easier
Whether you’re looking to document a milestone or simply celebrate the everyday moments that make up your life, I’m here to make sure it’s a memory worth cherishing.
What started as a love for nature photography slowly shaped into a passion for capturing people in all seasons of life. With me, you won’t have to stress over the little things — you’ll have someone who brings ease to the entire process. I’ll guide you through choosing the perfect location, coordinating outfits that fit the feel you envision, and keeping everyone relaxed and comfortable.

I love her editing style and was extremely pleased with her customer service. She stayed in constant communication throughout the year we had her booked and she considered our input regularly. She is very easy going and we never had to worry about anything! I would definitely recommend her for a wedding photographer!!

She was willing to travel which we greatly appreciated. She captured everything so perfectly and she made everything go smooth! Which is hard to do with so many people! I’m so glad we were able to get her for our big day.
“Sarah was so amazing for our wedding day and engagement photos.”
Victoria Heitkamp
She was so helpful throughout the planning process and answered every question promptly and thoroughly. There isn’t a single picture from my engagement session or my wedding day that I didn’t absolutely love. Her attention to detail makes me feel like I’m reliving my wedding day every time I look at my pictures. She has such a sweet, fun personality that makes you feel like you’re just hanging out with a friend.
“I truly cannot imagine having anyone else For my wedding day.”
I absolutely love traveling and sharing about my travels. Have we been to the same places? Where should I go next? What’s your favorite place to visit? Tell me!
You love traveling and want to gush over places we’ve been!
Sometimes we want to capture the moments in life, when we’re caught off guard. Those can be the most beautiful and important memories worth remembering. My goal is to make that happen!
You want authentic, candid moments captured that will last a lifetime
Getting out of your comfort zone can be difficult! Sometimes we have to be a little awkward in order to get past what’s hard. If you’re willing to feel silly at first, I can make sure you feel comfortable and confident in the end.
You don’t mind feeling a little silly behind the camera
We’d get along great if…
You probably spend countless hours planning a wedding, picking out the perfect look, working through every little detail, and that should be celebrated! I love observing and blending in so I’m able to pay attention to those special details and capture them for you.
You want the details to go unnoticed
If this is your first time working with a photographer, it can be hard to know what to expect. I want the whole process, from booking to gallery delivery, to feel smooth and stress-free.
You don’t want someone who can help you every step of the way
Photography is another form of storytelling and I want to live in the fun chapters! I want you to feel comfortable and at home when we work together.
