✨ Introducing, Mr. & Mrs. Rackley ✨

Cami and Jordan’s recent beach wedding in Fort Walton was full of the sweetest moments—stunning florals, sentimental touches, and the most fun party to close out the night! From their emotional first touch to the streamer sendoff, it was a dream from start to finish!

It was such an honor to capture every detail of their day—one I’ll never forget. 🥹💛

For those that missed it, we shared the news this past Easter Sunday that after five years of infertility—five years of tests, supplements, a miscarriage, doctor visits, tears, prayers, and more tears, Baby Sargent is miraculously coming this October! 💛 Please go to my personal page for the full story.

To all my fall/winter 2025 brides—I'm so glad your wedding day is in the trusted hands of my associate photographers who share my heart and style. But more than that, I’m praying over each of you as you step into this sacred season of marriage. May you feel wildly loved, fully present, and covered in peace.

To my family clients—I’m so sorry, but I’ll be taking off this fall/winter season to focus on this precious new chapter. This means I won’t be offering Christmas Card minis this year 😭 I know that’s a tradition for many of you, and I’ve gathered a list of talented photographer friends for you here:

My last available dates are now live on the website—and they’re limited! 😊 Please note that this is a high-risk pregnancy due to my age and history. I’ll continue to be transparent with each of you, as always. If any complications arise, I’ll communicate clearly and either reschedule or connect you with a trusted associate photographer. Your memories matter deeply to me.

Thank you for your grace, your prayers, and your continued trust. This community means the world to me. 💛

With love,
Sarah

This past weekend, I had the honor of photographing the Dream Center’s biggest fundraiser ever, Dreams Renewed! 💙✨ With over 800 attendees, heartfelt testimonies that moved everyone in the room, and an incredible performance by Sara Evans 🎤🌟, the night was truly unforgettable.

The Dream Center’s mission to rebuild lives, restore hope, and renew dreams was on full display, and it was such a privilege to be part of it. 💕

🌿 Winter Family Sessions Are Magical Too! 🌿

Who says you need green grass for beautiful family photos? This early January session with the Mobley family is proof that winter’s charm is just as stunning! We started at the Heritage Center, whose architecture added a timeless and romantic feel to every shot. Then, we finished at the Mobleys’ gorgeous home, featuring their magnolia tree, Joe’s classic Land Rover, and their stunning house as the perfect backdrops.

A huge shoutout to Kasey for her incredible eye for styling everyone for this session! Each outfit stood out beautifully on its own while blending seamlessly into a soft, neutral color palette that was perfect for winter. Those faded creams and cozy tones complemented the backdrop and made every shot feel effortlessly elegant.

From family portraits to senior shots for their soon-to-be graduate, every moment was filled with love and joy. I’m so grateful to the Mobleys for trusting me to capture such meaningful memories—and for showing how magical winter sessions can be.

✨ Client Love! ✨

"I can’t say enough good things about our family session with Lele & Beane! As a busy mom with two little ones, the all-inclusive pricing was a game-changer—no hidden fees, no surprises. In the past, we’ve paid the same amount for only 10 images, but with Sarah, you get everything. We walked away with over 100+ absolutely stunning photos—some of the best we’ve ever had of our family!

There’s such a great variety too, from sweet, smiling-at-the-camera shots to fun candids of us throwing the kids in the air. It really captures who my kids are, not just their smiles. Sarah made everything so easy, and I’ll treasure these memories forever. Totally worth the investment!"

Thank you so much for these kind words! It’s always my goal to create a stress-free, joyful experience and deliver images that truly capture your family’s unique story. 💕

✨ I hope everyone had a magical Christmas and New Year! ✨

We had SO much fun celebrating our oldest's 18th birthday and spending time with family almost every day of the season!

I was also blessed to have another magical in-home session on Christmas Eve morning! I joined the Radloff family at Margaret's childhood home, which was nothing short of amazing. There’s something so special about capturing kids in their own element—it brings out their purest joy and personality.

Susu pulled out heirloom Christmas music boxes from her grandmother Nan that added a nostalgic charm to the session. Vivian was full of smiles & giggles. Pierce hung an ornament on the tree with the sweetest concentration, and the best moment? Watching Pierce ride his great grandfather’s bicycle with his dad. These small, beautiful moments made the session feel even more personal and meaningful.

I’ve been having so much fun with these in-home sessions that I’m seriously considering adding them to my offerings. What do you think? Would you love to have your family captured in a space that means the most to you?

This quick 30-minute session with sweet little Dorothy at her grandparent’s home was absolutely precious! For little ones, it’s all about keeping their attention on fun activities instead of the camera. We made it playful by:

🌿 Looking for deer out the window
🪑 Sitting in her favorite chair
🎹 Playing the piano
🪜 Climbing the stairs

And of course, there were plenty of giggles thanks to tickles from her dad and grandmother! 💕

While this didn’t fit the mold of my normal sessions, I still love doing these when my calendar allows. If you have a unique session idea or need something outside my usual offerings, always reach out! Even if it’s not listed on my calendar, I’ll do my best to make it happen.
