hey there!

Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m a lifestyle and elopement photographer based in southwest Ohio.

I’m blessed to be married to the love of my life, and together, we serve on staff at our local church while raising and homeschooling our two amazing kids. My love for history and storytelling has deeply influenced my photography—I’m passionate about preserving your most cherished moments so you can relive them for years to come. Whether you’re stepping into a new season, turning the page to a fresh chapter, or simply want to remember the way your little ones hold onto you, I’d be honored to be your photographer.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me tending to (and sometimes rescuing) my houseplants, watching the weather, or exploring charming small towns and coffee shops.

I can’t wait to connect with you and capture the beauty of your story!

  • We were referred to Sarah for our wedding pictures. We met up with her once and knew she was the one! She is very open to any idea you throw at her and takes amazing pictures. She can make people seem photogenic even if they aren't. On our wedding day, amongst all the normal stress, I looked up and there she was, and I instantly felt at ease. Sarah is so very talented and her husband helps out as well and is amazing. Her skills and personality are a rare find and we are so blessed to have found our lifelong photographer and friend!! You will not be disappointed.

From proposal, to wedding, to pregnancy announcement, to sweet family photos - it’s been an honor to have her document our story. 🤍
