A Little About Me

Hey, I'm Sarah! Eight years in and I'm still the person who'll drive three hours for a sunrise that might not even show up. My content's mostly about the real process — composition, fixing a shot that just feels off, and cutting through advice that's honestly way more complicated than it needs to be. Truthfully though, the thing I like best is just talking with other photographers about the parts that aren't glamorous: the early alarms, the long drives, all the throwaway frames before you get one you actually like. I could go on about that stuff forever, so if any of it sounds familiar, don't be a stranger.

What You Can Expect

Honestly, this is more like two people nerding out than some formal critique. If a shot's working, I'll tell you exactly why. If something's not quite there, I'll say so, gently, but I'm not going to pretend it's fine. Mostly I just want to look at your stuff with you, tell you what's worked for me, and leave you with a couple of ideas you're actually itching to try. Bring questions, half-finished edits, whatever's on your mind. I'm pretty easy to talk to.

How We Can Connect

I do a handful of one-on-ones each month, usually over video. They go about an hour, which is enough time to actually look at your work and get into the parts you're stuck on instead of just skimming the surface. You can also DM me on Instagram. I'm always active on there.
