Maternity photoshoot
  • Sarah is an amazingly gifted photographer. Her approach to capturing light and the spirit of her subjects is immediately recognizable! My session with her was preceeded by a time of preparation before the big day. Sarah took a good amount of time with me to browse my closet, discuss my aspirations for the photo shoot and learn about my values. The day arrived and I felt prepared, confident and truly beautiful as I went through hair and makeup with her talented partner, and Sarah looked over and setup my outfit and jewelery changes. Once we were ready to begin shooting the photos, it was ON! Sarah showed me the photos as we took them, which helped me to adjust my stance, facial expressions, and angles to capture the most fabulous sides of myself! I have to share that it was a terribly difficult decision deciding which photos to purchase, as Sara had captured so many amazing shots that I wanted to keep! I can't recommend Sarah more highly. I was married to and worked as a photographer for about 7 years, and have a deep technical appreciation for what makes a great photo. Sarah has the goods!

    I was searching for a photographer to shoot my family's photos, something we hadn't done professionally in several years. To our good fortune we found Desired Focus! Sarah is so lovely and a delight to work with, from the first introductory call to finalizing the details. Not only are her photos stunning, but she captures truth and personality. It's hard to pick a favorite! We couldn't be more pleased with our results, photos that our family will cherish for a lifetime. My husband also needed a business headshot and he looks so sharp! Thank you, Sarah!
