Maya just turned One. Everything is NEW and exciting. The last thing she wanted to do was stay still for pics. No worries… I just followed her lead and just let her be her. (my favorite) I love these pics of her and her Parents. What a beautiful family! Looking very forward to part 2 of this session. Here’s a hint: Tutu’s and Cupcakes!! Yay!
I love your abibity to capture such real moments with your photography. Such a gift. Beautiful family!

What a beautiful and sweet family. Lucia is about 6 1/2 mos. I absolutely fell in love with her. Those eyes! Those cheeks! What a doll. Her big brother is 7. He and his Aunty (not pictured) were great helpers. Thanks guys! We did this session in their home. Lot’s of light and Lot’s of Love(My favorite!). Unfortunately Dad was not able to join us. Looking very forward to doing a session of the whole Family this Fall.

Absolutely Gorgeous! Wow!
What a sweet baby. They are all beautiful.
Very Sweet. I love your work Sarah.
AAAAAHH!!! Those cheeks!!! Really great pics.
Sweet Carly. I am in Love with this little bundle. I met her her parents about 3 years ago and they have been close family friends ever since. I am a little behind on posting her 1 month pics. These were taken back in January. Oops! We are already planning her 3 month session. Can’t wait. She is just the cutest and I am in love with these pictures of her. Her Mom and I were really excited to get her in that BIG tea cup. It was a bit challenging at first but once she got comfy It was ON!!! She would have stayed in that cup the rest of the day. Like a lump of sugar just how I like them. Fair warning!!! You will be seeing a lot of this sweet face over the next year. : )

Love that teacup. She is too cute.
Carly Bear is a keeper. So cute. Can’t wait to see more of her.
Thank you! xo
I’m so excited to be sharing my First post on the New Blog. I absolutely adore this session. I was contacted by this sweet couple from Maryland a few Months ago. Ashley went to School at Sweetbriar and suggested that I meet them there for their Engagement session. Fantastic idea!!! What a gorgeous campus. They drove down from M.D. the day before Valentines Day and met me on a suprisingly BEAUTIFUL sunny day. We started off at the Library and ended up in a gorgeous field near the Equestrian center. They are just the sweetest couple ever and as you can see from the pictures are VERY much in Love. Congrats Drew & Ashley! - Sarah

Sarah, you are AMAZING!!!! Drew and I are beyond words we are so happy!! I’m going to show these pics to everyone I know, and probably a lot of people I don’t know too lol… God bless the person pumping gas next to me or standing in line behind me because no one’s getting out alive lol
Sarah, I am speechless. I don’t know the couple in this shoot, but, I can feel their love for one another because of how you captured these gorgeous images. You had two beautiful models, an amazing backdrop and a SUPER talented photographer. Couldn’t ask for a better combination.
Great pictures (unusual settings) of a couple of great young adults. I look forward to seeing them married in the very near future.

Hi Sarah, I’m Drew’s Mom and I love every picture, there’s not a bad one in the bunch! You truly have a gift!!! You’re absolutely right, they could both be models, and they make a great looking couple!! My fav’s are the top in the woods, the one with the heart, the nose to nose photo, the photo where Ashley’s head is on Drew’s chest, and of course “the kiss”. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job!!! They had a blast doing this!!!
