I’m so glad that you’ve found yourself visiting my online home! This is where your journey begins.
Making contact is where the magic starts! So, pull up a seat and grab a cup of coffee or a whisky and coke and let’s chat.
I’m ready to help take you to the next level!
-Meet Sarah-
I am wrapping up my 17th year as a branding specialist, photographer and business coach.
A Texas native, I moved a lot as a young person: Texas, Utah, Minnesota, Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina, and now Williamsburg, Virginia.
After graduating from the University of Tennessee (Go Vols!) I moved from the Tennessee mountains and settled on the beaches of North Carolina. I moved to Virginia in 2022 and have created my home and studio just outside the historic Colonial Williamsburg.
I am currently situated in beautiful Williamsburg, Virginia and get to wake-up to sunshine and wildlife in my backyard most mornings. I have amazing kiddos, the most incredible man that I get to also call my best friend, a German Shepard and two Great Pyrenees that count as children, two hamsters, one mouse, a boa constrictor, a turtle, a grand-kitten, indoor and outdoor gardens, and 3 fish tanks.
We have a few sayings in our home that guide our everyday:
1. “Messes and All, ” meaning- regardless of all of our humanity, life is a great gift. You’ve got this, we’ve got this, God’s got You- “Messes and All.”
2.“You Did Not Wake-up Today to Be Mediocre” meaning- God gave us all a unique and beautiful light to gift the world. Everyday is a new opportunity to Be that Light. We believe in getting up each day and being our very best selves, pushing ourselves to do something difficult each day, and rising up above the hum-drum of mediocrity.
3. “Live Fiercely” meaning- Live fully, even in the moments of quiet. Living fiercely does not mean live loudly. It simply means to live to your fullest in the very moment you are experiencing. Love big, act fearlessly, honor relentlessly, and be present in each and every moment.
We are constantly practicing this. I do my best to live with genuine Faith and excitement in what is present at any given moment! And, I am very lucky to be surrounded by like-minded people and amazing, motivated clients and business partners like you. ❤️
Travel + People are a HUGE part of what inspires me. It has been the travel and people that have sparked my love for this career path. Inspiring others to create and embrace a beautiful, fierce life of their own is what drives me.
It is my goal that you enter into our time together confident and relaxed, trusting that your product outcome will be the true representation of you.
When I began my career journey in 2004, I took on just about any project that was thrown at me. I had the opportunity to photograph everything from families to marketing for menus at high-end restaurants. But, over the past 17 years I have been able to live and sort through what I love and do best.
Today, the Branding Boutique houses pieces of the digital media world that have become my favorite pieces of being a professional. I specialize in:
As for me personally, well, I cherish moments and I love LOVE. Yeeesss, I know that sounds incredibly cliche. Go ahead. Feel free to roll your eyes. LOL
But, I really do! I am a southern girl with a mighty soul that cries at just about every wedding that I photograph, belts old country love songs while I cook dinner, and would prefer a margarita at a hole in the wall restaurant to any other night out. I have an affinity to all things happy, wild, and off of the beaten path. I love black and white, and most shades of blue. I NEED sunshine and laughter. I love inspirational quotes, connecting with people, fresh flowers, the outdoors, and reading. My outlet is dance and running. Travel is my dig. And, all of my free time is spent with my crew.
My default is laughter and, man! Laughter has brought more peace to our crazy world than I ever thought possible. I am an enneagram 2 wing 3 sx. I am a hustler, dedicated to my family and clients and couldn’t believe more in the importance of the people in our lives, Grace, and the grit behind a hard working human.
I am grateful for this unpredictable, exciting, emotional career full of people like you. Connections with others and the creation of awesome outcomes are my number one work priority. I am so glad that you’ve stopped by and are looking around. I’m not certain that we’ve even met. But, I can tell you that I am already entirely excited about working with and serving you.
You did not wake up today to be mediocre. Pick-up that phone and shoot me a text. Or, call! I am standing by! Let’s Do This
With Grit + Grace,
Sarah
A little anxious about hiring the right photographer? I get it.
9 times out of 10 one of the first things out of my client’s mouth is, “we are totally awkward in front of the camera.” Well friends, me too. And, that’s why I’m here 
I am a photographer and educator who believes in a fearless approach, open mindedness, and a grateful heart. I like awkward, silly, crazy, shy, extravagant.
Really, I just like people.
And, I love their love stories.
I bring along over 17 years of experience, adaptability, professionalism, and a lot of laughs.
I love creating, exploring, and getting my boots dirty. My goal is to capture authentic experiences for my clients, to know them, and to participate in our time together as though they are my closest friends.
Your story holds excitement, beauty, nerves, and touches. Your images will reflect the details, the unexpected laughs, the quiet exchanges, and that moment when the tears or the smiles just couldn’t stop.
My photography is raw and moment driven. And, your images are crafted into telling your story just as it unfolded.
I continue to choose photography as my dedication because I believe people are the cat’s pajamas. And, I am grateful that, together, we can impact, encourage, and tell your love story.
Out of the sea of Williamsburg photographers, I am glad you found your way to me.
Please be in contact and let’s start planning!
