SAY HELLO

MEET SARAH

I'm Sarah: Bay Area based photographer! I'm a natural born optimist and I literally smile behind the camera! I believe in finding joy in the everyday, that real emotions are better than perfectly posed, and that less is more. I freak out (in a good way!) over white walls, whimsical details, and pops of color. I overuse exclamation points (sorry not sorry), have a strange obsession with farm animals (how are llamas so weirdly cute?), and could eat brunch every day of the week!

I've also been a critical care nurse for 12 years, and I love how I get to combine both my creative and analytical brains with my work! Plus you'd be surprised how much nursing and photography have in common (ask me about it sometime)!

You can bet that I'll do my best to get to know the real you and that I won't be afraid to make a fool of myself trying to get you to laugh! That split second when you forget that you're being photographed and just react is the moment where the magic happens.
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME:
1. I'm also a critical care nurse and am used to working under pressure and challenging circumstances. I tell my couples that because of my critical care background I'm super organized nothing stresses me out.
2. Kind of obsessed with dogs (and pets) since we've adopted our pit bull, Spruce.
3. I love adventure and travel! I've bicycled across the country and sailed around the world (among other adventures!) My favorite place in the world so far is Patagonia (Argentina/Chile), and a close second is Tanzania and the Serengeti.
4. I'm obsessed with bright colors and whimsical details!
5. I watch The Office on repeat! Bonus points if you know some Michael Scott quotes ;)

LET'S CONNECT

MEET HOLLY

Hi, I’m Holly, a professional photographer and adventure enthusiast. When you hire a photographer, it’s about so much more than spending money. It’s about trust because asking a stranger to document a moment in time takes courage. Courage to look back at that photo 20 years from now and feel the stir of your soul as you recall that special point in life. When you hire a photographer, it’s about telling your story and I’d be honored to tell yours.

A few of those things are photos because along the way, I depended on my beloved camera to document our progress.
As a professional photographer, my camera lens gives me focus – not just with images but on life as well. So when people came to visit, I invited them into the frames. Siblings, parents, old friends and new, babies and pets and grandparents all found themselves in the camera’s eye. I created an ever-changing gallery of images, something I hadn’t known as a child. I was delighted and loved every minute of it. The best part? That very personal experience served to enhance my professional capabilities in ways I never could have imagined.
As everyone knows, you can’t stop time. But, we can freeze small moments and cherish them forever through photographs. Let me use my creativity and talents to tell your story through my lens. Your moment, your spirit, your essence, your life in a beautiful hand-selected location. Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to hearing from you soon. With love, Holly
SOMETIMES YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE TRUE VALUE OF A MOMENT UNTIL IT BECOMES A MEMORY…
★★★★★
“Holly continues to impress me with her ability to truly capture the essence of being a human with the people we love on this beautiful planet. the shoot we did was relaxed, fun, and sincerely the perfectly unique location and mood for us. she doesn’t need my review… her portfolio says it all.”
– Danielle Marshall

MEET EMILY

My goal as a photographer is to capture the honest, genuine and truest part of people and document it forever. I will tell your story in a way, that in years from now, you are taken back to the memories and how you felt in that exact moment.

Oh heyyyy! My name is Emily and I'm a California-based wedding, elopement and couples photographer. I love working with adventurous and genuine couples. You'll find me anywhere there is ocean and sunshine, or really good vegan food. Oh, and sunsets and dark chocolate. Yoga and gardening are my jam, too.

I want to be so much more than your photographer. I do not show up as a stranger and expect couples to feel comfortable with me. I want to be your friend and understand your story so I can document how it actually FEELS. I want to capture what lights the fire between the two of you. And that smile you give when he whispers something in your ear. Yep, that. Those real moments are my JAM!
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME:
1. I love being outside & chase the sun any chance I get
2. I'm a huge foodie & one of my biggest hobbies is cooking
