hi, i'm sarah, storyteller // mother artist
+ i’m happy you’re here.
inspired by movement, baby feet, reflection, texture, hand-made anything, dappled light, patchy light, earthly elements, eyes, skin, touch, funky abstract art, the moon, ripples, light leaks, gauzy flowy clothing, double exposure, water, subtle smiles, hands, wrinkles + laughter.
I'm an RN turned self-taught photographer with an affinity for all things analog + vintage. i've had some version of a camera in my hand as far back as grade school. i survived high school + college by creating movies. i'm an earthy, nostalgic soul, in love with the midcentury modern era and i love to document moments in time. i have two beautiful daughters that happen to be my favorite muses. i'm always outside -probably barefoot- connecting with mother nature. (camera in hand of course.)
I would describe my imagery as tangible, honest + tender, but with a vintage feel + a nod to a different decade. in other words…
not your grandma’s photographer, but also def your grandma’s photographer because that’s kinda my vibe.
why film?
a question i get a lot : why go through the extra work to create images that digital cameras can almost perfectly replicate? well, while digital photography is amazing, there's nothing that quite replaces an image captured on film. maybe it's the call back to a different era or just the depth + texture of the photo that i'm drawn to. as we say here in the film world, "grain is good."
but i think most of all, in this modern age where we all have thousands of photos in our phone and the ability to take as many shots of the same image until we get exactly what we want - film is different. with limited exposures, every single shot is intentional, + carefully considered. i won't find out exactly how the shot will come out until the scans come back - which is really a thrill. but that intentionality + that analog feel is something that digital can't totally replicate so i'm chasing it!
