This includes weddings, elopements, and any commercial (corporate or lifestyle) event to be contracted out by a lead photographer or another business.

About Sara

As an experienced associated photographer, I understand how stressful event days can be and what it means for your clients when you have an associate photographer you can trust. I’ve photographed for Liv Vincent Photography, Taylor Mare Photography and Katelyn Kristine Photography, closely supporting these artists as their associate for weddings and elopements. Having photographed weddings as a lead photographer, I know what to expect as your second when it comes to timing, client dynamics and event professionalism. I’d be thrilled to accompany you as you photograph love stories this year and next as an extension of your brand.

I deeply respect the lead photographer’s vision and brand, and know when to step back to let you lead the creative direction. By hiring me to assist with your event, you can expect an expert level of trust to provide the best service for you and your client. 

Rooted in authenticity, connection, and inclusivity.

LOVE NOTES

"As a photographer myself, choosing someone to associate shoot my brother’s wedding was a really big decision. It was so important to have someone that could document the day with and for me so I could simply be sister. I couldn’t have picked someone better than Sara. She took the time to understand all the family dynamics and provided such beautiful photos. She will be my go-to for any associate and 2nd shooter jobs!"

- Katelyn Kristine Photography

“Sara has an incredible eye for making real moments into stunningly composed, well-lit, artful photographs. She has shot several weddings with me and I always love going through her images from the day and trust her intuition for photography and managing client relationships. I admire her work so much that I’ve asked her to capture personal milestones in my own life as well. Hiring Sara will guarantee your clients a beautiful gallery and your business in caring hands.”
