It couldn’t have been more fitting to get to kick off the new year with this dreamy, in-home newborn session in Peachtree City with Amanda, Mark and their beautiful little ones. New year. New life. Although, baby Banks couldn’t wait for 2022 so he surprised his momma and daddy by arriving two weeks early on December […]
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 […]
One thing I love about getting to photograph families is seeing my repeat clients and their sweet families grow. I met Emily and Luke a few years ago (back when they just had one sweet baby!) and was honored to photograph her family for the holidays. Since then, their family has grown by two more […]
I’m so excited to share Angela and Ryan’s Arabia Mountain engagement session, one of the most joyful evenings I’ve photographed this summer! These two were absolute troopers — hiking up the mountain on a warm June evening — and it couldn’t have been more worth it. Between the glowing sunset, the sweeping views, and their […]
One of the first questions I get from my portrait clients is “Where should we do our portrait session?” (This one usually comes right after “What should I wear?!”) While the answer to choosing the perfect portrait location varies from client to client, I’m hoping to give just few tips to help you narrow your […]
I don’t even know where to begin. Somehow through all the chaos of our uprooted lifestyle, a tornado, and homeschooling my kids, I am still getting to do something I love. I STILL get to photograph beautiful wedding days and gorgeous families. I still get the privilege of capturing some of the most momentous and […]
As a practical and minimalist minded person, let me begin this by saying these are just my opinions that have been based on my own wedding experience, having been a bridesmaid a few times, and what I’ve observed as a wedding photographer. Being more on the minimalist side, some of these will undoubtedly be on […]
I love refreshing citrus flavors and this lemon bar recipe by Kim Nelson in her Daisy Cake Bakes Cookbook is one of my favorites! I added a hint of lavender which made my botanical-loving heart happy but that’s definitely optional! Ingredients Crust Filling Directions Let me know if you made this lemon bar recipe in […]
Hello. My name is Sarah and I’m addicted to social media. Ok ok. Let’s be real, 99.99% of modern humans are addicted to our cellular devices. We’re the most technologically “connected” yet relationally disconnected generation…since…well…ever. This addiction has only gotten worse since the world shut down and really revealed to me how much I needed […]
While I was visiting family back in the south a month ago, I had the enormous joy of photographing a sweet Senoia engagement session for Fernanda and Michael. I met Fernanda right after I moved to NY when she booked me for her wedding. We were supposed to be celebrating her wedding day this past […]
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 and I'm beyond blessed to photograph amazing people on some of the most important days of their lives. Based in Auburn, Alabama, my work takes me all over the southeast: from Atlanta, Savannah, and beyond. Photography, to me, is not about performance — it’s about presence.
In a world that celebrates what’s curated, I believe in celebrating what’s real. Your wedding day isn’t meant to be a production. It’s a promise — a tender beginning, a gathering of love, a day woven with quiet, unrepeatable moments. I photograph the in-between: the glances, the laughter, the hands reaching for one another. The soft pauses that will mean everything years from now. 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 experience your day fully — to breathe, to be, to live in the joy of it — knowing I’ll be there to preserve every bit of its honesty and grace.
Your story deserves to be told artfully, but never artificially. Because 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. This is photography that feels like memory — effortless, emotive, and true.
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 — both remind me to slow down and notice what’s worth remembering. That same rhythm — of stillness, of gratitude, of paying attention — shapes how I photograph love stories. Because photography, like life, is most meaningful when it’s honest
