    We hired Sarah to take our son’s photos to document his first year of life. The pictures are incredible & the thoughtfulness & care she took with him & us would have us recommend her to anyone. She put a photo book together with our favorites, & it’s quickly become a family heirloom. Thank you so much Sarah. 🙏
  • Amazing person, and wonderful work!!

    🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I can't recommend Desired Focus Photography enough! Sarah is not only a fantastic photographer but also an incredible person to work with. Her talent behind the camera is truly remarkable; she has a unique ability to capture the perfect moment and bring out the best in her subjects. I had the pleasure of working with her recently, and she made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. She is an expert in her field, and her passion for photography really shines through in her work. Just take a look at my profile picture—Sarah took that! It's one of my favorites and perfectly represents my personality. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to create stunning images, look no further than Sarah at Desired Focus Photography. You won't be disappointed!

    Sarah did a great job with our pictures to market a rental property up in Johnstown. It’s a double so she did two different units. Love the pictures. She’s a great photographer.

    Sarah did an incredible job photographing our son. He’s a young athlete. Her hockey session with him made him feel like a celebrity. He left his time with Sarah filled with renewed confidence and absolutely stunning photos of him doing what he loves. Cannot say enough positive things about the entire experience working with Desired Focus.

    Great experience with my son's senior pictures. Sarah found an amazing spot to get a backdrop of the Columbus city skyline. She made it easy and the photos were great.
