About Me

Welcome! I’m Sarah. I grew up in the beautiful state of North Carolina, and as of this year I am based in New York City. I find that I always do my best work outdoors, so NC and NY are both ideal places to be – for very different reasons. I love having a mix of environments to shoot in; ranging from deep in the woods, to out in the city. I’m very eager to see what this new environment challenges me to create.

My venture into wedding photography started after college, when I realized that I could turn my favorite hobby into a career. Throughout the years I’ve experimented with different subject matters on the side, and discovered that my true passion lies in editorial photography. It’s such an incredible thing being able to do what you enjoy every day and not have it feel like work.

While I no longer take on weddings, I still shoot engagement sessions often. I absolutely love photographing love and I strive to make my sessions laid back, adventurous and fun – so, if you and your significant other are up for adventuring in the woods, grabbing a coffee and exploring the city, or re-visiting some of your favorite spots, i’d love to tag along and let my creative juices do their thing! I promise I make a great third wheel.

Some other things I love: dogs, yoga, horror movies and cheesy rom coms (sometimes back to back), spoonfuls of peanut butter, and simply being outside. I’m a minimalist at heart, and drool over good design. And lastly, I’m a huge animal rescue advocate and am very involved in the local dog rescue community! It’s one of my biggest passions. If you took the time to read all that, thank you! Take a look around, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Cheers!
