Elopements. Lifestyle Sessions. Boudoir.
Some moments are meant to be felt in the shadows... where the emotion, texture, and mood speak louder than the light. This is the space I work in, and the way I see.
When we work together, you don’t just get photographs. You get an experience that feels grounded, intentional, and human. A space to slow down, to be present, to be seen as you are. The result is imagery that doesn’t just document what happened, but preserves how it felt. Cinematic, intimate, and lasting.
Your story begins here.
With experience capturing elopements in three different countries, my job is to ensure your elopement experience is well-planned and unforgettable.
"We hired Sarah to shoot our elopement and oh my goodness she did AMAZING!!! I was planning our elopement from another state and she helped me figured out all the details which was a life saver! Sarah is so easy to work with and she saw my vision and executed it perfectly. The pictures are beautiful and everything
I wanted and more. <3"
Eloping somewhere I've never been? Amazing. Adventure is my passion and planning elopements from start to finish, sight unseen, is my specialty. I will make sure the details are covered so that all you have to do is show up and have your love story authentically told by your professional third wheeling best friend.
Ask about my bucket list of travel locations...you may learn that all your elopement will cost is my travel! Pretty cool.
Trade tradition for a view. I'll meet you there.
Lifestyle sessions, to me, are about documenting life as it actually feels.
They’re for the lovers, the families, the dreamers, the homebodies, the adventurers. For anyone who wants their photos to feel lived-in, not performed. If you value connection, atmosphere, and the beauty of ordinary moments made meaningful, this is for you.
"...What really stood out the most was her incredible energy. She has this way of making you feel completely at ease, like you’re just having fun together rather than being in front of a camera. Her attention to detail and ability to make everything so personal truly made the session unforgettable.
And the photos? Simply perfect! She captured us so naturally and beautifully, it felt like she brought our love story to life in every shot."
These sessions move at your pace, whether that means slow mornings at home, wandering your favorite neighborhood, or simply leaning into whatever this season of life looks like right now.
Life. Connection. Intimacy. That's what it's about. Let's capture it.
Boudoir, to me, isn’t about posing or performance. It’s about presence, intimacy, and seeing yourself with honesty, softness, and strength all at once. And damn, if it isn't fun!
"...She made me feel so comfortable through the whole process and completely earned my trust. Sarah handled all of the coordination with the venue host and she even went two days early to check out the space for the photoshoot and find the optimal time for lighting to capture my vision. She went above and beyond!
Sarah captured my vision perfectly and is an absolute gem of a human. I loved everything about her and how my photos turned out and can’t wait to hire her for future photo shoots! If you’re thinking about booking her, DO IT!!!!!"
These sessions move slowly and intentionally, creating space for comfort, confidence, and real expression. Whether it feels bold, quiet, sensual, or deeply personal, the goal is always the same... imagery that reflects who you are, not who you think you’re supposed to be.
For the woman who is ready to be witnessed...
