An absolute joy to work with. We found Sara as our wedding photographer through a mutual friend. From the first email through the end of our reception Sara was enthusiastic, professional, funny and so great. Her rates are as reasonable as you can get in the greater Boston area for this caliber of photography. She was everything you want your photographer to be: prompt, energetic, working the whole time, but never making our wedding feel like an elongated, painful photo shoot. She wrangled the wedding party photos- including lots of little kids- with ease; she shot the most gorgeous photos of me and my husband and still had us up at our cocktail hour in as brief an amount of time as possible. At one point we wanted to use a few balloons that my ring bearer had carried, but they were tied to a bench and she said and I quote: "I will gnaw them off with my teeth if I have to" DEDICATED and hilarious, she was a perfect fit for us. It's important to note that on your wedding day, you and your spouse spend quite a bit of emotionally charged time with your photographer- the moments just before and after you've made a BIG giant commitment to each other. We were able to look at each other and simply absorb it all and she captured images of this without being intrusive in the least. She put us at ease and made us feel comfortable- which is completely priceless in a wedding situation. She also had a preview up for us in ONE day. In one day we had a gorgeous slide show of some of her best shots. And her turn around time for the totality of the wedding photos is usually around 8-12 weeks, depending on how busy a time of year it is. To give a little perspective- some of the more expensive photographers in Boston and the South Shore don't get you your photos for a YEAR. Who wants to wait that long? They are the most exciting photos of your life- you want em soon! Sara is amazing- book her now, before she gets too expensive, because what I see happening for her is that her business will blow up and she will be one of the Boston area's most sought after wedding photographers- with good reason! She is the REAL DEAL. read more

My fiance and I were in the market for a photographer. We'd considered many options, including hiring a photography student looking to beef up their portfolio. Then I stumbled across Sara's photoblog. It was obvious that she had talent. From her blog it appeared that she'd been a professional photographer for several years shooting primarily child/maternity/family sessions and was only recently breaking into shooting weddings. At the time she'd only shot one or two weddings but the results were fantastic. So I shot her an email to see about an engagement shoot. Not only did the photos for the engagement shoot turn out great but my fiance and I both felt very comfortable with her. She's sarcastic and has a great sense of humor like us so we were immediately at ease, and it shows in the photos. She was great with the turn around time, basically had them completely touched up and edited in the exact time she'd stated it would take. Since then she's done some more weddings and the photos posted on her website/photo blog demonstrate consistent high quality talent. Once we received our digital proofs we immediately decided we were going to sign on with her for the wedding. Her prices are more than reasonable, she's got boat loads of talent and you feel like you can be yourself while she snaps away. Highly recommend. read more

I can't say enough about Sara and her ability to truly capture the essence of children and a family. We have used Sara for a couple photo shoots - first with our then 1 and 4 year olds and again with our whole family of six including our then 3, 6, 11 and 13 year olds. The finished product - several dozen images - were breathtaking. My husband and I were literally in tears as we looked at the images of our family Sara took. During the photo shoot, she has a true knack for putting all of her subjects at ease - including very small children and teens who aren't always the most cooperative or enthusiastic! Her shots are a perfect mix of posed shots and candids, color and black and white, serious and happy and everything in between. For us, we could see the unique personalities of our children popping out of the images, as well as their love for each other. Sara is also a pleasure to work with before and after the photo shoot. She is a true professional and is prompt and customer service oriented. Her website is straightforward and easy to navigate making the entire experience from beginning to end a joy. I highly recommend you consider hiring Sara to capture your special moments and images of your loved ones! read more

My husband and I were looking for a photographer to take some pictures of our wedding day. It was a very small ceremony (just me and Michael) and we wanted to get some nice shots for our families. I found Sara on Yelp and she was incredible. I was afraid she wouldn't want to take the photos since it was such a small wedding, but she was totally excited and said she would be happy to be "our guest" at the wedding. After the ceremony, she drove with us to a mill building in Maynard to take some more "artistic" shots. It was so much fun to have her take the pictures and we had a blast. She was so much fun to be around, and she made it a very special day for us. Her enthusiasm is infectious! She even got my husband who HATES having his picture taken smile and relax. We had so much fun with her. I'm very happy that she was able to accommodate us. She made our wedding day feel special and I am so glad she was there. Her rates were incredibly reasonable and she posted some of the pics that night on her website so we could share them with our friends and family. She was so helpful when it came to ordering the prints and the album, and she never hesitated to follow up with me on the details. I would definitely recommend Sara to anyone looking for a photographer who can take photos of a special event (large or small). She has a great eye and she captured some really great moments that day. Everyone who has seen the pictures says they are beautiful and different from most traditional photography. She has an artistic sensibility and she is truly unique. read more

I decided to hire a photographer for my son & two nephew's baptism. I did a little research & e-mailed a few photographers. Sara responded to my email quick. I loved the pictures on her website & after emailing her a couple times, I just felt that she was the one. She was very knowledgeable & easy to work with as far as timing & such. Being 3000 miles away & not knowing the area AT ALL, this was INVALUABLE!! :o) When the day finally came, with three babies under 9 months, of course we were running late. :o) Sara was there & had already started taking pictures of the church & the guests as they were arriving. Sara worked so well with all of our family, friends & even the pushy priest. :o) It was very obvious from the beginning that Sara was great with children & babies. My son was in love with her! She was a wonderfully calming force in the craziness that was that afternoon! Sara e-mailed a couple BEAUTIFUL teaser pictures within a few days. Within a few days of that she had all the ceremony pictures up on the website. WOW!!! I was amazed at the wonderful shots she got! I swear she must have had an assistant with her, I thought she was near us the whole time but yet there were pictures from the back of the church & even the balcony. A short time after she finished editing the ceremony pictures, the rest of them were done & up on the website. WOW!!! By looking at the pictures, you would never guess that the weather was cloudy & rainy! I am SO in love with the pictures Sara took. She is such an AMAZING photographer!! I recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer! Not only does she do amazing work, she is such a nice person, so easy to work with & so affordable. I am bummed that I can't use her for all my events (that whole 3000 mile thing) & will be jealous when my sister-in-law does! :o) read more

I wanted to give my sister-in-law a photographer for a gift for her baby shower. We took some time trying to pick the correct photographer and at 5 months old we booked Sara for a photo shoot with my niece. Sara was amazing with my niece and the entire family. She definitely knew how to work with kids and to get a lot of shots off quickly before the baby got tired of having a camera in her face. I can't express how pleased we were with the results. She captured the essence of my perfect little niece and I fully expect advertising agencies to start contacting us:) The pictures came out great and the entire family felt very comfortable having Sara in our home. I would highly recommend her as a reasonably priced, professional and personable photographer. Don't hesitate!!!! read more

Sara has been taking pictures of my family for 9 years! The pictures are beyond amazing! They are such a treasure to have as the kids grow. Sara is professional, fun and easy going - and of course so very talented! My kids always look forward to our annual photoshoots so they can hang out with her. She is adaptable to any type of kid - and even lets my kids stage some of the photos. If you are looking for amazing pictures from a wonderful person - look no further! read more

Sarah creates such beautiful family portraits and is such a cheerful person to be around--highly recommend!!!

I can't review a photographer without mentioning that I hate having my picture taken. Really, truly, I just hate it. I end up making bizarre faces and closing my eyes in half the shots. But when my son was born, I decided that I needed to get over it so we could capture some family photos of his first year. The thing about Sara is that she almost makes you forget she has a camera with her. She immediately puts you at ease from the very first shot. She manages to be both low-key and high-energy at the same time. She is so good at engaging my son. He loves her. My husband and I do too! When she is shooting, even her posed photos don't feel fake. She keeps you chatting and distracted. Her photographs speak for themselves. She has an amazing talent. She does absolutely incredible work. She has an artistic eye and manages to capture my little one's personality in her photos. Many of them have brought tears to my eyes. I can't tell you how many compliments we have received from family and friends on her pictures. We signed up for Sara's "First Year" package and had photos taken when my son was three, six, and nine months old. She will also take photos for his quickly approaching first birthday. My husband and I debated if we should spend the extra money to do this or just use her for one session. We are so grateful that we went for it. She uses some of the same poses in the same spots in our house at each shoot, so we can have an easy comparison of how the baby has changed. It is a beautiful progression to see. Hiring Sara as a photographer is honestly one of the best purchases we have made in my son's life so far. It was money well spent and the end results are priceless to us. read more

" The BEST! Sara's photos are as amazing as her personality. She seamlessly inserted herself into the chaos of the wedding day, got my husband to smile naturally (which he rarely does in photos), dealt with confused wedding party guests with ease, and truly captured our happiest moments with such beauty. I'm recommending her to my engaged sister, and for anyone else that wants their wedding photos to shine. (Her prices ain't bad either). read more

We used Sara for our engagement photos & really loved her work so we also hired her for our wedding, which was just 3 days ago. We have already gotten quite a few pictures from our wedding that bring tears to my eyes every time I look at them! Sara really knows how to capture the feeling of the day, without being intrusive or demanding. We have gotten so many calls/emails from our guests about Sara. Everyone was really impressed with her professionalism & her ability to work with the crowd. I could not come up with one negative thing to say about her. We are so happy with Sara & will be hiring her again any time we need a photographer. :) read more

I cant say enough about Sara!! We absolutely love our wedding photos and are hoping to have her capture our son for his first birthday soon. She is so easy to work with and does beautiful fun work. SOOOOO affordable. read more

Having Sara as our Bat Mitzvah photographer was a GREAT experience! She was incredibly easy to have around. She wasn't pushy about getting shots but at the same time was able to gather groups as to not miss any important pictures. I love the way our photos came out. Sara really captured the day - especially with the candids. I wish we had another event coming up as I would have Sara back for sure!! read more

GREAT PERSON, GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER!!! My wife and I got married back in January. Towards the end of the year last year we were looking for a photographer for our wedding. My wife, Kaitlin, found Sara online and began looking through her albums. Her photos were amazing! At the time she did not have many wedding pics up but mentioned on her site that she would have some soon, as she was beginning to get more and more into wedding photography. We decided to call and talk to her about our wedding and her prices. From the moment she answered the phone she was very professional, excited, and easy going. At the time we had been up in the air with some guy wanting to shoot for free for his portfolio and it was a possibility that we would want Sara to be our second shooter. However, a couple weeks before the wedding, this guy stopped answering any phone calls and dropped us completely. I called Sara worried about having already confirmed her as a secondary photographer. She immediately assured me that she would be totally fine with switching last minute and being our main photographer. She told us that this was going to be the best day of our lives and that the LAST thing we needed to worry about was not having a photographer. She would be there no matter what. She was SO encouraging and easy to work with. I am SOOOOO glad this happened!! Sara gave us an AMAZING deal!! We met her for coffee right down the street from my wife's home and discussed all of the details. The wedding day went PERFECT. Sara handled all of my crazy rambunctious groomsmen, who do not listen well, without being rude. She really knows how to keep things moving smoothly without ever losing her fun sense of humor. Because my hometown is across the country from Boston, where we got married, we had a big reception back at my home two weeks after the wedding. SHE HAD 192 PICTURES READY JUST FOR OUR RECEPTION!!!! She went above and beyond by putting them together in a slideshow and everything. We love every picture she took and would DEFINITELY recommend her to ANYONE needing a photographer!! Someday down the road when Kaitlin and I have children, we plan to look Sara up when we go to visit Boston so that we can have her photograph our children!! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE EVERYTHING that Sara created and did for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah! She was able to capture so many beautiful and special moments in between the big moments of the event. She offered an opportunity for some of our daughter's most special friends to come prior so they could take some amazing photos together, which happened to be some of my most favorite. Sara was not only professional but an absolute pleasure to work with too. She made what seemed overwhelming, not, and came with so much love and passion. I am so grateful that she was able to capture moments and recreate the day through her pictures! read more

Sara took newborn photos of my daughter when she was 10 days old. She was so gentle and caring for her. You can tell she loves babies and shared lots of stories and advise which was great. I'll forever treasure the photo's she took they are absolutely beautiful and I look at them every day. They are priceless and I couldn't have asked for anything more! I will definitely be back for a 6 month photo session! read more

Sara is fantastic. She made my infant and my toddler feel at ease and managed to calm them down. She is extremely organized, has a beautiful and the final pictures are just amazing. read more
