We are a low volume studio focused exclusively on high quality. We take on very few sessions each month in order to give each of our clients an exceptional experience with high quality portraits and artwork to match. Your comfort, your child's safety, and providing heirloom artwork are just a few of our core values as a portrait studio.
My fiancé and I brought our newborn here for photos, we had a totally incredible experience! Sarah is professional, very friendly and great at what she does. I would highly recommend.
We just had family photos done with Sarah, and I am blown away. She was amazing with our two kids - so patient and engaging - and she got the most beautiful shots of our family! I was shocked at how good they turned out. She’s a 10/10 and we will definitely be booking her again in the future!
We love Sarah! She is an amazing photographer, we have used her for the past 4 years for our family pictures. We will continue to use her in the future. She is patient, and great with kids!
I see you, mama. Making meals, washing clothes, filling cups of milk, reading books, waking up for overnight feedings. You've got a lot going on. I'm here to help with making sure this season doesn't go unremembered.
All of our canvases are professionally printed on 400 gsm cotton- poly blend fabric with a standard archival value of 100 years.
All of our prints have a standard archival value of 100 years in home display, or 200 years in dark storage. All prints are finished with a lustre coating to prevent fading and finished with a linen texture.
Our handcrafted keepsake boxes include professional 8x10 prints matted to 11x14 on museum grade, acid wicking mats. These are popular for their versatility as they can be displayed in your home in the box or individually framed.
Years after your session, I don't want you to be searching through lost files for your gallery (or worse, looking for files that have since corrupted). Rather, imagine your home filled with lasting, archival artwork of your family. Whether it's a stunning portrait hanging on the wall or an album to flip through on your coffee table, you’ll be able to look back at these images for years after they were taken to see how you and your family have grown. You'll get the matching digital file with each product purchased as well, but I promise that in 10 years you will appreciate the printed artwork more than anything else.

I'd love to hear all about what you're envisioning for a session! During your consultation, we will chat about who's going to be there, what the most meaningful moments you're hoping to capture will be, and I'll give you some ideas on what to wear to feel your best.
If you're a parent, I'd guess that your calendar is already busy. We offer consultations virtually via Zoom/ FaceTime, or in person at the studio. Some parents will FaceTime during their lunch break at work, some bring their kids with them into the studio, and some will even ask for an evening time slot that's not publicly listed. I know that these photos are important to you and I will do my best to accommodate your family's scheduling needs.
The day of your session is when all the magic happens! Whether it's a golden hour sunset to enjoy with your kids or a couple of hours to relax in the studio while I work with your newborn, the session is where your entire vision comes to life.
Newborn, cake smash, and milestone sessions all take place in the comfort of my studio. Maternity and family sessions have the option of taking place either in studio or outdoors. Wherever we end up, we will create beautiful memories for your family to enjoy for decades to come.
One unique feature about our studio is that you get to see the images the same day that they're taken. About an hour after the session end time, we will meet up at the studio for you to view your images, select your favorites, and place your portrait order.
For daytime studio sessions, many parents will fill the time before the ordering appointment with a lunch outing in East Aurora. For outdoor evening sessions, many parents will drop the kids off at home with a sitter, grab ice cream or drinks, then meet me at the studio. For any scheduling conflicts that would not allow you to enjoy same day ordering, the appointment may be postponed to a later date as well.
AS SEEN ON:
Do your family sessions take place outdoors or in studio?
It's your choice! Some families love being able to be outside and let their kids run during the sessions, others prefer the comfort of the studio. Whatever will work best for your family.
What if we planned an outdoor session and the weather doesn't cooperate?
If the weather doesn't look like it will be good for our session, I will reach out to you to reschedule. Moving to the studio is also an option, however if your heart is set on being outside, we will find another day that works!
I don't know what to wear, do you have recommendations?
Absolutely! This is the core of our design consultation together. If you don't already have a vision for how you'd like the session to look, I will help get the creative juices flowing with Pinterest boards, color palette inspiration, and even links for what to order. I want you and your whole family to look and feel your best the day of the session.
I want an outdoor session but I don't know where to go. Do you have recommendations?
I sure do! On top of the more common spots in Buffalo, I've also done a good amount of location scouting to help achieve the look you're dreaming of in your images.
Where is your studio located?
The address of my studio is 21 Elm St., East Aurora, NY 14052.
