I'm after the good, the possible, and the real. 
The journey I'm on is not of a destination, but of a different perspective.
My goal isn’t just to take a pretty picture. Those who choose to work with me aren’t just clients. I strive to illuminate the extra in the ordinary, dive deeper, lift spirits, and create life-long connections.

PORTRAITS for the BONAFIDE beings

I want to tell yours. 

Ah, you have arrived! I am so thrilled that your path has crossed with mine. 

I'm Sara, a Connecticut based, present moment portrait photographer who is calling all lovers, dreamers, rebels, and wilds to walk with me, as we step into the light you deserve.

Everyone has a story to tell... 

The Silver liners, The Trail blazers, The surefire souls, the magic seekers...and yes, the camera shy, too. 

ABOUT →

My definition of it. You'll come to know my definition of it, because it is you! Inside and out. The most important thing we can do in our short stay on this pale blue dot is give ourselves the unconditional love we give to others, and then some. 

I lead with beauty, always.

“Sara weaves magic through the lens, she is hands down the best photographer that we have worked with.” 

- Nikki c.

“I give Sara my highest recommendation. Her photography truly takes the creative form of a passionate artist. She gave me several concepts and options before we began. Above all, she made an awkward girl comfortable in front of the camera. I can not thank her enough.” 

"As someone who is camera shy, I was rather nervous and out of my element being photographed but she made the entire process feel so effortless and enjoyable! Her talent, creativity, and authenticity produced breathtaking photographs my fiancé and I are elated over!" 

- Meg h.
