Family portraits at Trilith

I consider it such an honor when families invite me to document their intimate and precious memories each season. These family portraits at Trilith are some of my favorite to date. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege to capture some sweet moments for Luke, Emily and their adorable little ones and I’m always bewildered at just how fast these beautiful children grow! This constant state of change just reinforces my passion for capturing and freezing these incredibly fleeting moments. Maybe it’s because I’m a mother myself, but I find such delight in photographing families. Capturing those connections between siblings or between child and parent. Figuring out how to paint their personalities in a photograph. These things just give me life and so much joy.

Emily and Luke’s heirloom family portraits at Trilith this past fall was just as beautiful and joyful as ever. We spent the later part of the morning walking around the lake at Trilith, snapping photos as we walked and then settled on a blanket under a tree for some tender moments with the baby Eli, Harper, and JP. (You can see Eli’s in-home newborn session here). Emily did a spectacular job coordinating their wardrobe with navy and neutral tones of gingham and the kids had a blast running around and exploring. So without further ado, here are some favorite family portraits at Trilith.

BEHIND THE LENS with alabama wedding photographer

Meet Sarah

At home in the garden. Ever-focused on finding beauty in simplicity and the art of creating.

I’m Sarah — a photographer and storyteller drawn to the quiet, meaningful moments that make up a life. Based in Auburn, Alabama, I photograph weddings and families across the Southeast — from Atlanta and Savannah to the coastlines of 30A and beyond.

In a world that celebrates what’s curated, I believe in celebrating what’s real. Your wedding day isn’t a production; it’s a promise — a gathering of love, a day filled with fleeting, unrepeatable moments. I’m drawn to the in-between: the laughter, the glances, the hands reaching for one another. Because beauty isn’t found in what’s staged — it’s found in what’s felt.

My approach is calm, intentional, and rooted in trust. I want you to be fully present — to breathe, to feel, to live in the joy of it — knowing I’ll preserve every honest, graceful detail.

Your story deserves to be told artfully, but never artificially. Long after the flowers fade and the music quiets, these photographs become part of your legacy — a reflection of who you are and the love that began it all.

I’m a wife, mother of four, and believer in the quiet beauty of everyday life. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me baking in our 120-year-old Alabama home or tending to our garden — simple rhythms that remind me to slow down and notice what’s worth remembering. That same rhythm shapes how I photograph love: with stillness, gratitude, and honesty.
