Once you fill out my contact form, I'll be in touch within 48 hours! Here I'll get some more details from you, what you're looking for, and we can see if we are a good fit for each other!
After we chat, I'll go ahead and send a contract and invoice in order to secure your date. From here you will be able to pay your non-refundable retainer, sign your contract, and confirm your session!
After your date is booked, I will send my Family Session Prep Guide along with a detailed questionnaire. Both of these will help us in the planning process to help your session run as smoothly as possible! I am also always down to look at any Pinterest boards/ outfits/ new locations you have in mind as well!
Yay, it's here!! Once we confirm the weather will be great (looking at you, New York), we meet on a pre-decided location then drive to your session! Here, feel free to let things happen naturally and embrace whatever comes up. This is the time for y'all to truly be yourselves and have fun!
After about 4 weeks, I will send you a link to your AMAZING gallery! Here you will be able to share directly to social media, download your images, and even order from my print shop. Maybe grab some wine, tea, or (my favorite) a bowl of mac and cheese while you look through your photos!
"Sara was amazing!! We drove three hours to have her take our engagement pictures and it was totally worth it. She made the entire shoot super fun. 10/10 recommend"
Vanessa & Mauricio
"Sara was absolutely wonderful to work with. Just a lovely lady all around! I highly recommend her if you have little ones. She was able to get some absolutely stunning pictures of my two year old, while making it so fun for her! She gave great guidance, had awesome ideas for poses...I can't say enough good things!"
The Riley Family
"If you are looking for someone to take your photos, she is that person! She is sweet, professional and is so uplifting and encouraging during the photo shoot. She came up with poses and directed me throughout the shoot. I highly recommend her! Book her for your photos, I promise you won’t regret it!"
Meri G.
"She is so incredibly nice and fun to be around. Her photo turnaround was very fast and she truly captured the spirit of our wedding with our photos. We love them so! We will definitely be booking her again the next time we're in need of a talented photographer."

This is a tricky question and there is no "right" answer. I have had a camera since I was 14, went to college for black and white film photography from 18-21, and have been in business since 2018. Within this time I have assisted and second shot with some AMAZING photographers, photographed beautiful weddings, elopements, families, seniors, and models. Overall, you could say I have been photographing for 13 years total, and 4 years professionally! I am constantly learning and growing my craft. I can't wait to see what the future holds!
YES. This is actually what made me fall in love with photography! If this something you want to make sure I incorporate into your package, just let me know! Film has its own costs, but is so dang worth it.
Of course!! One thing I weirdly love about weddings is finding a way to make everything fit perfectly, while still having enough time for beautiful portraits with the best light. All of my weddings I help show up with a plan, just to take a little more pressure off of you. I like to plan timelines with a little buffer room here and there so if we are behind, we can usually catch up without being rushed. My main priority with timelines is making it so you can still relax and enjoy your day, without feeling like you have to choose between having special moments captured or missing this time with your loved ones. Weddings are a celebration, not a photoshoot.
ABSOLUTELY. We have all wondered what to do with our hands. I use a combination of prompts, posing, and "directed candidness" to be able to get those natural images that show y'all at your best and to make y'all comfortable. Don't worry, I got you.
