Capturing Love Stories

Hi, I’m Sarah—photographer of heartfelt, beautifully curated moments, big and small. Based in the California high desert, I specialize in intimate backyard weddings and soulful maternity sessions across Joshua Tree, Palm Springs, and beyond. Whether it’s a desert wedding under string lights with live music and wild florals, or a quiet sunrise maternity shoot among the boulders, I’m drawn to connection and stories told with intention.

 

I shoot a mix of digital and 35mm film to create timeless, cinematic images full of natural light, emotion, and a little bit of magic.

​

If you're looking for a Joshua Tree photographer with an artistic eye, laid-back energy, and a deep love of honest moments—you’re in the right place.

Cap Rock Micro Wedding in Joshua Tree

There were so many things about this wedding that touched my heart. The groom's care for the bride really stood out to me. My eyes loved the lace vintage dress and the hat in lieu of a veil. Check out this Cap Rock Wedding!
