 Welcome Hey there, thanks for stopping by! Welcome to my little corner of the internet, my place to share my voice and photography. In case you don't know me, I am Sara (that's me to the left, the one without a big white furry coat). I am a photographer based in the San Francisco Bay area, California. I LOVE my work, and you will see a bit of that sneaking in here. I also use this as a place to share other parts of my life. You will find adventures, food and little tidbits about my life with my darling husband and our two fat cats.  Please feel free to have a look around and even leave me a note. I would love to hear from you!

I am pretty sure that I have the best husband in the world. He is brilliant, kind and honest. I could go on and on about all of the great things about my husband, but he is probably cringing as he reads this, so I will stop. One thing about my hubby (probably not unique to him) is that he HATES to be the center of attention. So you can imagine how difficult it might be to convince him to be the center of my attention and stand for my camera. It has taken about a year of every trick in the book to get Charlie in front of my camera. I tried asking nicely, I tried begging. I tried to guilt him into posing for me 'Just think of all the nice things I have done for you...' he didn't fall for it. Then one day he suddenly just agreed. I couldn't believe it. Maybe all of my begging and pleading finally wore him down. I don't really care what changed his mind, I am just glad he did. He is probably one of the easiest people I have ever photographed. Maybe I am just biased, but don't I have a handsome husband?

He was such a good subject, and very patient with me. It is a little bit strange to have my sweetheart suddenly in the 'client' role. I enjoyed getting a few great pictures of Charlie, it makes me wonder how long I will have to wait until I convince him it is time he let me do it again.

Charlie, thank you for finally agreeing to a portrait session. I know you can't stand it, so it is sweet of you to oblige me.  I miss you...

You'd better erase these from the internet. Some talent scout will see him and he'll be off to Hollywood:)
