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

I think the closer I get the more eager I get. I don't know how people go the whole 9 months without finding out. I think I might go crazy ;)

January 14, 2009 - 3:59 pm The Saffa Family - Sarah!! We're so excited for you!! Now who's going to take pictures of your baby bump?!?

January 14, 2009 - 8:45 pm Kelly - Congrats! This is so exciting. I can't wait to know the sex of the poppy seed. I also love that nickname.

January 14, 2009 - 9:11 pm anne - Congrats Sarah!! That is so exciting! Yay babies!!

January 14, 2009 - 9:29 pm Sarah Bussey - I love getting all the comments. Funny thing, the other day I was looking through a Cool Baby Names book (even thought we already have our girl and boy name picked out :) and it said that the coolest flower name is Poppy. I about fell out of the bed trying to get to the phone to call Brit and Jason.

Ah and taking pictures of the bump, yeah I don't think so :) Maybe when I get bigger. I am not really showing right now. Just have an extra layer if you know what I mean ;)

Jayna, I told my doctor about the draino and the intellgender test. He was kind of interested since his wife is 2 weeks behind me. I think that is why I am stuck on it being boy. :) Little Owen would have a great little friend. Yike that is kind of scary to think about especially knowing how our husbands act when they are together :) LOL

January 15, 2009 - 7:25 am Photo Alli - Yay!!! That is such cool news!!! There is nothing like being preg with your very first baby. All the wonderment and excitement. Enjoy every bit of it. I am SO happy for you all!

January 15, 2009 - 8:57 am Christina Anderson - Sarah, I'm SUPER excited for you girl!!!! This is such a HUGE blessing! Congratulations! You will be a super mom!!! And oh, that ultrasound takes me back to my babies and how much I enjoyed each opportunity to "peek in on them"! Feeling them is one thing--but looking at them is so much fun! Oh girl, just be prepared to revel in moment when you look that little person in the face for the first time.........priceless!!!

January 15, 2009 - 10:27 am Anonymous - Congratulations Sarah!! I'm so happy and excited for you and Taylor. What a wonderful immediate and extended family this baby will have.
