If you met me in real life, you'd quickly learn that I'm someone who pays attention. To people. To energy. To the small shifts that say more than words ever could. I believe motherhood is one of the most powerful and vulnerable transformations a person can live through, and I don't take lightly the trust it requires to let someone witness it. I'm naturally observant, deeply feeling, and endlessly curious about the lives unfolding around me.
My life outside of photography is quiet and full in the best ways. I live in Richmond, Virginia with my husband, Jacob, and our animals, who keep me grounded in the present. I spend much of my time supporting women, giving back to my community, and staying close to the spaces and stories that brought me back to this work.
Welcome, I'm SARAH
My approach is simple. I don’t believe in forcing moments or asking you to be anything other than yourself. I pay attention, offer gentle guidance when needed, and allow space for what’s real to naturally unfold.
I understand how meaningful and vulnerable these seasons can be. Whether you’re expecting, holding your newborn, or moving through early motherhood, I approach each session with care and respect for the experience you’re living in real time.
More than anything, I see this work as an exchange. I’m deeply grateful to witness these chapters, and I carry that gratitude into every session. The images we create together reflect not just how it looked, but how it felt to be there.
HOW I APPROACH THIS WORK
rooted in compassion | Rooted in compassion
Service is an extension of my storytelling. As a volunteer photographer with Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep and Connor’s Heroes, I document stories of love, loss, and resilience for families facing impossible moments. I partner with Hot Mama Collective to offer affordable mini sessions for new and expecting mothers in the Richmond community.
I also host local monthly TTC/Fertility and Grief/Loss support circles in Richmond, VA at Whole Heart Space — safe spaces for connection, grief, and hope. If you or someone you know could benefit, I’d love to welcome you.
