Where this life you love
is held onto
Your days are filled with them, the laughter, the closeness, the quiet knowing that this is your family, yours to love and be loved by.
It’s the kind of life you don’t always have words for, but feel all the time.
I’m Sarah, your family photographer in Lynchburg and a mom of five, so I know how full these days can be while you’re in them.
Coming to me gives you a way to hold onto it, just as it feels right now, with the people who made your life what it is.
So you can just be, without everything else
You won’t be standing in front of your closet trying to figure out what works for everyone or what feels right the night before your family session. My client closet is available with pieces that photograph beautifully, and I’ll guide you so everything comes together without you having to overthink it.
There’s no pressure to have perfectly behaved kids or to keep everything “together.” We follow their lead, take breaks when needed, and let things unfold the way they naturally do.
That’s where the real moments happen, the ones that actually feel like your family.
You won’t be lying in bed the night before thinking through what to bring, what time to leave, or if you’re forgetting something. Everything is walked through ahead of time, so it’s already taken care of before you even arrive, and not one more thing sitting in the back of your mind.
You are cared for
in every moment
Start by sending an inquiry, and we’ll find a time that works for your family, along with whether your session feels best coming to my studio or having the session at an outdoor location.
You’ll have guidance on what to wear, with access to the client wardrobe. From location to timing and preparation, everything is talked through ahead of time.
When the session begins, there’s nothing you need to keep up with. Whether you’re at home or outside together, we follow your kids’ lead, take breaks when needed, and let things unfold in a way that feels natural for your family.
After your session, you’ll receive a gallery that brings you back to this season, and to what your life with them felt like, right in the middle of it.
From past Clients
"They recently photographed our family for a fall portrait session and all of the photos were so beautiful! I also love how she offers dresses for moms that book with her. I picked out and wore one of her dresses and it took the stress off of me on what to wear! I highly recommend Sarah.
This stage of life can feel full in a way that’s hard to put into words. A family session gives you a moment to be in it, just as it is now, together.
Each session includes:
• A thoughtfully guided family portrait session
• Access to the client closet for mothers
• Use of the studio space or the option of an outdoor session
• Preparation and guidance leading up to your session
• Time to move, pause, and let things unfold naturally
Session fee: $575
Option to add on hair and makeup
Family sessions can take place in the studio or outdoors around Lynchburg, VA. The studio is calm and simple, while outdoor sessions give your family more room to move, play, and settle in together.
You don’t have to figure out outfits on your own. I’ll help with styling so your family feels pulled together without looking too dressed up or unlike yourselves.
They don’t need to be perfect for your session to be beautiful. I’ll gently guide your family with space for shy kids, busy toddlers, and playful little ones to be themselves.
