Welcome to my Blog!

I have been a photographer for 9 years now. In those 9 years I have learned so much and grown both professionally and personally. Each new life experience brings me a new way to approach my photography. I used to say my passion was animals.  I still adore animals. Pets make life so fun and their unconditional love is something I can't do without. Recently my life has come to a new place.  Last June my husband  I  lost our first child, Mamie.  She was born a sleeping angel when I was 37 1/2 weeks pregnant.  This great loss has brought me a new perspective on life which has spilled over into all aspects of who I am.  I look at each day, each experience, with new eyes.  Mamie is our child whether she is here on this earth or not, so please feel free to ask me about her.  Just as you like to talk about your little ones, I love to talk about Mamie.  If you are interested in her story you can link to my poppy seed blog.  It's all about Mamie and the process I have gone through during my happy and easy pregnancy to the place I am now as a grieving mother who is carrying on in honor of my child.  


I approach my work differently because of my new perspective.  I look for the unique parts of each idividual and their situation and do my best to capture that.  I love working with couples who are so in love they can't see straight and newborn babies whose parents are so in love THEY can't see straight, or little kids as they play with their favorite toy or pet or as they read their favorite book.  It all makes my heart swell.  It is life.  Each new moment in life is what we make it and I want to take it all in.  I want to document the most special days and the most ordinary because they are all priceless.


All sessions are photographed on location in order for me to capture life as it happens most comfortably for my clients.  I encourage you to just be yourself and allow your little ones to do the same.  It will be a fun experience and create images that will be most uniquely you.

 

Have a great day.

-Sarah

We Need Your Prayers!

About 2 years ago Taylor’s dad got lung cancer. The cancer had taken over his whole right lung and the doctors decided to remove the whole lung and follow up with chemo for precautions. So about a year ago, 2 small spots showed up on his left lung. The doctors have been watching them ever...

March 13, 2008 - 4:53 pm Mitzi - Sarah, we will be praying for your father-in-law. The verse that comes to mind is Isaiah 41:10 "So do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

March 13, 2008 - 5:12 pm Kate - thinking and praying the most positive of thoughts....

March 13, 2008 - 7:23 pm Shawna - Of course Mr. Adams is in my prayers right now, as is all the Adams & Bussey family. Please call me if you want or need anything, even a simpathetic ear.

March 14, 2008 - 12:04 pm CLAnderson - I've been praying this morning for you each. We have a God who "can do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine-according to the power that is at work within us"---where this course may lead you all, it's in the plan of our almighty God----I will continue to pray as you guys are brought to mind.

March 15, 2008 - 2:50 pm jharrellphotography - I have been praying for your family and I know that God has His hand on you. It's encouraging to see so many in prayer over the same matter and the bible says in Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” So I know that He is in control. God bless with love...

March 11, 2008 - 7:40 pm Miss Capitol Hill - I like number 2. It looks modern and fluid but it also conveys strength and professionalism to me.

I think number 1 is too soft...it reminds me of a logo for a day spa.

Number 3 looks too kiddie to me, not serious enough. It doesn't inspire confidence for me.

March 11, 2008 - 7:50 pm jharrellphotography - They are all creative! But I love #2! It has a great flow and looks very classy! Good luck choosing...

March 11, 2008 - 8:01 pm Taylor - I like #2!

March 11, 2008 - 8:33 pm jayna - I like #2 and Matthew likes #2 and #3 but they are all cute! Can't wait to see what you choose!

March 12, 2008 - 9:12 am CLAnderson - OK, I totally realize I'm already out voted so far---but #3 is my favorite! When I first looked I couldn't decide between 2 & 3 but I'm settling on #3. I don't have any great reason why---I just like it!

March 12, 2008 - 10:22 am Carrie - I like them all but I really love #2. It's very classy but still contemporary.

March 12, 2008 - 10:39 am Stephanie - I like both 2 and 3. very different styles but you can't go wrong with either in my opinion.
