“Sarah was fantastic to work with and the photos were gorgeous, it's clear she is extremely skilled and knows what she's doing. I am so appreciative that she was able to come for a somewhat last-minute shoot. She took pictures at a yoga retreat I was hosting and jumped right in. She was very professional and understood the type of shots I was trying to get. Sarah's also incredibly warm & friendly which made having a photographer during a yoga class less intimidating. I'd absolutely recommend her.”
