Get to Know Me

Hi, I’m Sarah — it’s so nice to meet you, and I’m truly glad you’re here.


Photography has been part of my life for over 20 years. I received my first film SLR camera while in college and even learned how to process film in a darkroom. As digital photography emerged and life got busy, I didn’t always have the time or resources to pursue photography the way I wanted — but I never stopped carrying a camera with me. I was always capturing moments of my family, my daughter’s softball and equestrian competitions, and the beautiful details of everyday life.


In late 2021, I decided it was time to return to photography with intention and take it to the next level. Today, I use professional-grade equipment and focus on creating images that feel natural, meaningful, and timeless. While my long-term goal is to have a studio, for now I embrace the beauty of Chattanooga, TN and its surrounding outdoor spaces as my backdrop — something I genuinely love, because being outside and in nature inspires my work.


Why Choose Me?

When you book a session with me, you’re not just another client — you’re a friend. My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, confident, and relaxed while having a fun and enjoyable experience from start to finish.


I provide guidance every step of the way, including:

  • A helpful style guide
  • Assistance with wardrobe selection (if you’d like)
  • Help choosing the perfect location
  • Gentle posing and direction so nothing feels awkward or forced


I take pride in delivering excellent customer service and a personalized experience. I am personable, reliable, communicative, positive, and creative — and I truly believe in saying what I mean and doing what I say. You can always count on me to show up fully for you and your memories.
