About Sb Photographs

My name is Sarah but my friends call me SB because let’s face it, there are a lot of Sarahs in this world and it gets a little confusing. I often get asked how I got into photography so I thought I would share the journey that has led me here. I first got into photography in middle school, at that time I used disposable cameras. I was in love with capturing memories my friends and I could hold onto. In high school, I needed to raise money to take some dance classes in NYC and that is when I had my first paid photography shoot. Through out the rest of high school and all of college, photography was my side hustle. When I graduated from ultrasound school I had a growing wedding photography business but I pretty much shut it down because I had a medical career. For years I shot sparingly for friends and random gigs. At this time I moved more into live events & marketing photography. Then in 2017 while standing on the shore of the Sea of Galilee I felt the Lord ask me to capture his people & this beautiful planet He created. At the time I did not know what that was going to look like, but a few months later He asked me to quite my job at the hospital and become a full-time photographer. It was incredibly scary but I took the leap of faith and I am going on 7 years of full-time photography. In the past 7 years, I have watched God prove His faithfulness time and time again. I made it through a global pandemic, moved states, was given a brand new car completely paid for, been blessed with the absolute best couples, and just recently moved completely across the country to sunny southern California! It is only by the grace of the Lord that I am here. All credit goes to HIM. .

my approach

I have years of wedding photography experience but I also have years of live event photography experience. When you are shooting a live event there is no pausing to pose people, there is no moving for the best lighting. You have to be able to anticipate a moment before it happens. When I arrive to capture your wedding day, I am going to be bringing both set of skills. I am going to direct you when needed but I am also going to give space for candid moments to happen. So if you are the couple that loves candid photos but also needed to know what to do with your hands in photos, I got you!
