Hello, I am Sarah.


A Paris-born, New York-trained photographer drawn to the beauty of everyday life and the stories that make us who we are.

I love photographing people as they are, capturing the laughter, the little gestures, the chaos, the cuddles and everything in between. Whether it's the connection between a mother and her child, the bond between siblings, or the personality behind a face, I want my photos to feel genuine and deeply personal.

Based in Paris, I photograph families, expecting parents, and individuals.

I tend to bring my camera everywhere I go, and my favorite subjects will always be my three kids. Perhaps that's why I'm so drawn to fleeting moments, the ones we wish we could hold onto just a little longer. I believe some of the most beautiful photographs happen when we least expect them, when everyone simply forgets about the camera and the real moments unfold.

I'd love to hear your story. Let's get in touch!

"Sarah is, without question, the finest photographer our family has ever had the pleasure of working with. She was there to document one of the most significant days in our lives—the adoption of our son—and did so with grace, warmth, and artistic vision. Every moment was captured with care and authenticity, preserving not just the events of the day, but the emotions that came with them. Sarah intuitively understood our hopes for the day and went beyond what we ever could have imagined."
