“The cottage is truly a unique and beautiful space. It is a space I’d feel comfortable enough to curl up with a good book or take a nap! It is so tastefully and beautifully decorated and Sarah is so welcoming. She made both me and my 3 year old daughter feel at ease. She even had a little box of toys for my daughter to explore while she got shots of just me.

I am very camera shy and Sarah was so good at guiding me and getting some truly beautiful photos that my family will cherish. Not only was she good at posing me but she had a natural way with my daughter and got some very sweet shots out of a shy little girl with ease. My family has had Sarah take our photos on multiple occasions, and it has been a wonderful experience every time.
