Why I Became a Photographer | Little Moments by Sarah

People often say they want to freeze time. It sounds like a cliché, but for me, it is the reason I get out of bed every morning. That desire to hold on to each stage of life is the heart

Baby Reina’s Newborn Photography Session in Cedar Falls

This newborn photography session in Cedar Falls was nothing short of dreamy. Reina, whose name means queen in Spanish, lived up to every bit of that royal energy. The second I saw her, I laughed and said, “Yes, queeeeen!” Her

Capturing Little Moments: Colter’s 6 Month Milestone Session

Traveling for Treasured Moments There’s no greater compliment for a photographer than when family members travel hours with a fresh c-section scar to have a session done. My sweet cousin made the journey from Kansas, just days after welcoming little

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Somehow Sarah makes the dreamwork, and we've ended up with the sweetest, funniest captures of our little dude (and family)! She has an eye for making simple locations look grand, and it's a relief to not have to style my own family - feeling like a celeb over here with her picking outfits for the entire crew. Her humor makes everything easier, and I like that she's open to ideas, but is able to handle all of the creativity when you have no idea how to pose like real humans. 10/10 will continue to use her."

- Candace B.

"What makes Sarah special is her ability to pose and capture the absolute most precious photos. Because of her and the professionalism shown in her work, I now will have the most beautiful prints that will last a lifetime. I cannot recommend her enough!"

- Bri E.

"Sarah creates magic. She does and will go above and beyond at each session - from providing newborn outfits, BEAUTIFUL maternity and postpartum dresses, and a safe space to do what you need to as a mama. She was patient and understanding of the need to nurse, change several diapers, and even a few outfits following some accidents. She and her assistant truly felt like family after our first session! I had no words at the reveal - only tears. Happy, happy tears! I would recommend her to anyone!"

- Chelsea C.

"My mom booked this session for me. I was under the impression I would be held the whole time. She wrapped me up nice and snug, which I liked, but then she put me in this bucket and made me go to sleep. I really didn't want to but she kept running her hands through my hair and down my face, making it really hard for me to stay awake. I give her one star because her pictures are good, but that's it because I wanted more snuggles."
