    Sarah and her team are friendly, fun, and made me feel comfortable and valued. The experience was wonderful! I participated in the Hope Valley fundraiser - I needed new headshots and it seemed like a great opportunity support a worthy cause. During the shoot though I could see the pictures as Sarah was taking them and I began to change my perspective on the photo shoot from simply getting a few photos I needed to becoming an experience that empowered me and allowed me step into someone I’d been working on becoming for 3 years. The previous 3 years had been the most difficult in my life and I’ve worked hard to become stronger and wiser as I healed from them. The pictures Sarah gave me allowed me to see that I was ready to step into this new life I’ve been creating! Thank you, Sarah, and your team, for this gift of being able to see the me I’ve been working so hard to become!

    This was my first time meeting Sarah and she made it feel like we already knew each other. Her energy throughout the process was amazing and my pictures turned out better than I could’ve imagined. She was very responsive from the beginning and helped edit my insecurities. I left our session feeling very confident. I highly recommend her for any professional photos!!
