My passion for photography began in the 5th grade when I learned to use a SLR camera for the first time. The thrill I felt then, of composing an image in-camera and then watching it come to life in the darkroom, is something that still drives me to this day.

In the years that followed, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t entertain the idea of becoming a professional photographer in some capacity. From photojournalism to nature and sports photography, I seemed to dabble in a little bit of everything! But it wasn’t until the birth of my little boy in 2009 that my focus shifted to portraiture. Just like every other mother on the planet, I wanted to capture every precious moment and milestone that my baby experienced. This desire is what prompted me to take my photography to the next level. I dove headfirst into learning anything and everything I could about the craft – reading books, scouring online forums and watching countless tutorials. After several months of practicing on friends and family, I officially launched Sarah Carter Photography in the summer of 2010…..and the rest is history!

My Style

Whether a session be outdoors or in-studio, I tend to lean toward clean portraiture with an emphasis on bright and saturated colors. You can expect us to get to know each other before your session, so we can discuss and meld your ideas as a client with my vision as your photographer. I will strive to capture a mixture of shots during our time together, from the classically posed to the more candid moments that your family will treasure for years to come.

Thank you so much for your interest in Sarah Carter Photography…It would be an absolute joy to create lasting memories from your life’s moments!
