Photographer,
Cheerleader, Storyteller
Hi, I’m Sarah! With 20 years behind the camera, I tell stories of life, weddings, business and family, through the people who make them unforgettable.
Even the most camera-shy turn into confident storytellers with me behind the lens. The result? Bold, vibrant photographs that feel personal, powerful, and impossible to forget.
Virginia-based, but always passport-ready.
Brand Photography
Meet the Client: DOGFARM Estate
When Bridget and Gan Dunnington bought the Napa Valley property that would become DOGFARM, launching a wine brand wasn’t their first priority. It started with a love for the land—something that deepened over years of visits and finally, living there. As their connection grew, so did their vision. They planted two acres of Cabernet Sauvignon in 2017, teamed up with close friends Katie and Russell Yates, and found the perfect winemaker in Maayan Koschitzky of Atelier Melka.
I was lucky enough to be there to capture it all—long before the first bottle was poured. From early vineyard mornings to the laughter around their table, I photographed the people, the place, and the spirit behind DOGFARM. Every image tells a piece of their story—and that’s what I love most about this work.
For brands, I bring your story to life by capturing the people who make it unforgettable—founders with vision, teams who make the magic happen, and the models who bring your message into focus. The result? Confident, personality-filled photos that feel as dynamic as your business.
Wedding Photography
Forget stiff poses—I’m here for the real, joy-filled moments that reflect your love story as it truly is. From laughter to quiet connection, I’ll guide you to feel relaxed and present so the magic can unfold naturally.
I take on only a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every couple gets my full creative attention.
Family Photography
Whether it’s the chaos of a morning routine or a golden hour hug, I photograph your family with honesty, heart, and a little bit of magic—so you have images that grow more meaningful with time.
From toddlers with tangled hair to grandparents full of wisdom (and opinions), I embrace the full cast of characters and the big feelings that come with them. We’ll laugh, play, and maybe get a little messy—and the result will be a collection of photographs that feel like your family feels: beautifully real, deeply connected, and entirely one-of-a-kind.
