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!

A stunning day in Napa, filled with anticipation of the day to come. Molly and David let me tag along to document their rehearsal day in Napa with all of their closest family and friends. We started the day at Alpha Omega Winery where we had a lovely picnic lunch. Everyone gathered around and spoke of the amazing relationship that they had the joy to witness in David and Molly, the perfect match. After munching on some scrumptious food and hearing those heartfelt words, we all clambered on a bus to Palmaz Winery. Palmaz provided a tour of the grounds and the wine making process, followed by a wine and food tasting. The views from the terrace at Palmaz was breathtaking. As the afternoon turned into evening we clambered back onto the bus to finish the day at Gotts Roadside for, you guessed it: more food and wine. A perfect day in my books.

 Molly and David, thank you so much for including me in your rehearsal day! I had so much fun, despite losing my cute little golf to Alpha Omega! I can't wait to get your wedding images up!

A sneak peak from a recent maternity session with Rebecca and Daniel. I met these two lovely people when I first started going to Crossfit East Bay. They have now moved to New York and came back just for a short visit. I was lucky enough to get to steal them away and document the development of their little crossfit junkie to-be. Portrait sessions seem to be piling up on me, but I just had to get this image out!

One Year Ago: Sicily
Two Yeas Ago: Megan's Maternity

I have started with the first of my living social families. What an amazing experience this has been! Neil, Julia and Ella were such a great family to work with. I had so much getting to know the family and little Ella completely stole my heart. When I first met them Neil introduced himself and I heard that familiar accent. It turns out he is from South Africa! You South Africans are EVERYWHERE! We had a great time and I think we got some really great images. Be sure to watch the video at the end of this post. Enjoy!

Last weekend Charlie's firm had their company retreat in Hawaii. It was an amazing time, honestly though... when is Kauai ever not amazing? The water is incredible, the warm breeze refreshing. It was a nice reminder to slow down and appreciate life. Here are a few shots I grabbed when I wasn't swimming with turtles or basking in the sun.

The day was perfect. Molly and David's love was present in every little detail and to be there filled my heart with joy. I couldn't feel more blessed to have been a part of this event.
