Hey, I'm Sarah.

I'm a photographer, mom of four, Libra, and someone who would almost always rather be outside.

I'm pretty laid-back and naturally on the quieter side, but I'm good at reading people and matching their energy. There's a very good chance your kids and I will be best friends by the end of our session. I can hang with the shy ones, the wild ones, and the teenagers who would rather be literally anywhere else. I'm also not above saying poop, making questionable noises, or doing something so embarrassing that I need a minute to recover afterward. Whatever works.

And if you're worried about being awkward in front of the camera, don't be. I'll tell you exactly what to do. Where to stand, how to move, what to do with your hands, all of it. I won't leave you standing there wondering what the hell is happening. But I also know when to shut up, step back, and let the good stuff happen without me.

When I'm not taking pictures, there's a good chance I'm running, hiking, doing yoga or pilates, or finding some other way to move my body. I ran my first half marathon and full marathon this year and apparently decided that wasn't enough. The plan is to run about a million more and make damn good time doing it. I'm a little competitive with myself and love finding out just how far I can push.

I love being outside, especially in the mountains. New Hampshire's White Mountains are where my soul belongs. Give me a trail, some fresh air, a ridiculous view, and absolutely nowhere I need to be, and I'm happy.

I'm also into astrology, witches, karma, and pretty much anything that falls into the woo-woo category. I believe in energy, intuition, and that what you put out into the universe has a funny way of finding its way back to you. Very Libra of me, probably.

As for photography, I've never been particularly interested in making everyone look perfect. I like people as they are. The awkward laughs, the little quirks, the way someone looks at the person they love when they don't think anyone is paying attention. The stuff that would be easy to miss if you weren't looking for it.

A camera is really just my excuse to pay attention.

Whether I'm photographing your family, your newborn, your senior year, or you and the person you love, I want you to feel comfortable enough to be yourself. I'll take care of the rest.

And hopefully, by the end, you'll feel like you just spent some time with a friend who happened to bring her camera.
