By Sarah Barrett. This shoot was a little different than ones Cindy and I do regularly, and we really enjoyed it. We had the opportunity to go to the Columbus Estates and photograph one of the couples there and their daughter, Marlene. Fully masked on a brisk Saturday morning, the lighting was just right outside […]

By Sarah Barrett. Taking family photos is already really special for Cindy and me, but the Rader’s family photos were even more special than normal. The Rader house is currently the home of a foster child. I absolutely love it when families come to us wanting to get updated family photos and also want to […]

Sweet little Talia made the most grand entrance to her party–she drove into the backyard in a red Mercedes. (Well, someone drove her car for her). The remote control Mercedes was definitely […]

By Sarah Barrett Darlene Pinnell has been a friend of mine for years. We’ve been friends through a lot of life changes, been on a lot of adventures, and enjoyed a lot of time together over the years. She has always been interested in fashion, so I am so excited to see her reach for […]

By Sarah Barrett Years ago, my brothers and I attempted to gift family photos to my mom for Mother’s Day. That year, we had three weddings in our family, and needless to say, the family photos never happened amidst the planning. Three years later, Cindy and I were determined to find a way to make […]
