Sarah was great with my family! She captured each one's personalities and kept the shoot natural. The easiest and most relaxing pictures we have ever done. My seven year old niece even said she had fun! I highly recommend Sarah! We will be using her again!

One of my favorite weddings to date 📸 Pure magic. 🥹

1️⃣ Please trust the editing style of the photographer you hire.
If you love warm and nostalgic tones, don’t hire someone who edits cool and airy- and vice versa. We’re not Instagram filters. We pour years of vision into our style. Let us do what we’re great at, and your photos will reflect that heart!

⸻

2️⃣ Strongly consider a first look.
Not because it’s trendy- because it genuinely gives you peace. A quiet moment with your person, time to breathe, and a little more freedom in your timeline. Most couples who skip it say they wish they hadn’t.

⸻

3️⃣ Build in buffer time- always.
Things run behind. Hair takes longer. Wrinkles happen. People disappear. Add 15-20 mins more than you think you’ll need for everything. It’s not about being rigid- it’s about making space for presence.

⸻

4️⃣ Your timeline sets your tone.
A beautiful day starts with a solid flow. Let me (or your planner) help you map it out. You deserve a day that feels spacious, not rushed.

⸻

5️⃣ Light > location. Always.
A quiet parking lot in golden hour beats a pretty spot in direct sun every time. Let’s chase the good light- not just the good Pinterest inspo.

⸻

6️⃣ You don’t need a mile-long shot list.
We know to get the kiss, the big reactions, the tiny in-betweens. Trust us to document the day as it unfolds- not just a checklist of poses.

⸻

7️⃣ Do what feels like you- not the algorithm.
Trendy moments are fun if they’re your vibe. But your wedding isn’t a content shoot. If you don’t care about a champagne tower, don’t do one. You have full permission to skip anything that doesn’t light you up.

⸻

💌 Save this post if you’re in planning mode or send it to someone who deserves a wedding that feels like home!

This rooftop pizza party was proof that a few simple touches can turn a session into something so cuttte. 🥰🍕📷

Grateful for of moments like this 💕
To be trusted with your memories is something I never take lightly!
Let’s freeze a little time together 📸

📍Kaweah Oaks Preserve | Exeter, CA

✨ What NOT to Wear for Photos ✨
A few friendly style tips to help your session feel effortless & timeless:

🌈 Neon Colors – These reflect onto skin and can be a little too loud in photos. Unless styled intentionally!

⚫️ All Black (again, unless styled intentionally) – It can hide details and flatten group shots.

🚫 Tiny Logos or Loud Graphics – They pull attention away from your beautiful faces.

🧢 Ball Caps & Sunglasses – Covers your expressions and eyes.

👕 Matching White Shirts & Jeans – Let’s coordinate instead of match!

🍊 Bright Orange or Red in Nature – These can clash with natural greens and blues.

🔲 Super Bold Patterns – Zebra, cheetah, or giant florals can take over the frame.

🧺 Stiff or Wrinkled Clothes – Choose cozy, flowy fabrics that move with you.

✨ Instead: Think soft neutrals, warm tones, cozy layers, and pieces that feel like YOU.

📸 That said- your style and vision are totally your own! These are just my go-to recs for timeless photos, but I can make anything work if it feels true to you!

What a gift to pause and capture moments like this. 📸🥰

📍Kaweah Oaks Preserve | Exeter, CA

Golden hour glow + grandbaby giggles = memories they’ll treasure forever. 🥹

And I got to do another grad session this last week for this amazing woman! 2/3 DONE!! 🥳🥂 Congratulations!!

Congratulations to this very special graduate!!
I started working with this amazing family probably about 8 or 9 years ago now. Not only have I had the honor of capturing 3 of their grads, but for this beauty- I’ve gotten to shoot her high school, undergrad, and now (in what will seem like no time at all) her PhD grad session will be next! 🥹🥂
I may or may not have teared up!! 🤟🏻
*Peep the pics of the proudest parents alive!

Got to spend some time with this little cutie last week!! 🥹💕

This shoot calls for a rare b+w post from me 🖤🪦

Eye spy the ai?! 🤪 #photoshopai
I need more epic cemetery recommendations!
I have a feeling this may turn into an hyper fixation .. 🖤🪦

Grad photos don’t have to be traditional! 😉
I am absolutely loving how my collab with this gorgeous grad is turning out!!
One of my dream sessions with the perfect model to match! 🤩 @itznessaduh 😘

Planning something small & sweet?!
Whether it’s an intimate elopement, a cozy backyard, beach-front micro wedding, or a meaningful celebration with just your closest crew- this kind of love deserves to be captured with care! 🥰 which is exactly why I offer hourly event pricing, that’s clear and to the point!

This sweet 4/20 beach wedding was such a joy to capture. An intimate small gathering, lots of love, and the sound of waves in the background. Perfection. 🥹
The couple flew off to their honeymoon the next morning- I love the shot I got of the bride’s packed bag 😍
Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Sanchez!!

Calling all graduates! I only have a few weekday availabilities left for May! DM to plan your grad session! 😍📸🎓

Easter portraits of one of my favorite families on earth 🥰🫠😭

Just reminiscing on one of the prettiest weddings I’ve ever shot. 🥹 Such a cute local venue in Visalia! @watsonsvisalia Styling was immaculate.

Venue: @watsonsvisalia
DJ: @mobilesoundpro
MUA: @makeupbyiza
Styling: @arusticaffairrentals

Getting to watch my nephew grow up in front of my eyes is freakin wild y’all. 🐣🐰
I love getting to document all these special stages. 🥹🥲🫠

Celebrating these incredible women today!
Maddie (@sirenskincompany) and Jess (@jesschmidthair) have created something really special with Sirens & Sage Beauty Lounge @sirensandsagebeauty!! Their space is full of good energy, amazing services, and you leave with your face hurting from laughing so much!
It’s been an honor to capture some of their journey so far 🥹
If you’re in Clovis and need some self-care, this is your spot!!

Proud of you both! Can’t wait to see everything you continue to build 🥰😘

Graduates!!🎓 It’s time to book your grad session! This is the perfect way to celebrate your biggest accomplishment yet, and showcase what made your journey unique.
DM to book my limited weekend availability before June! 🥰

Toesies.🥺💕
The little detail shots are my fav sometimes.

The face you make when the weekend finally hits! 🥹😍🤪

I think my Silly Goose Energy🪿 is either infectious, or my clients are just made for me 🥹🤣

“Give me your most serious face 🤔😐🤨”
LOL nothing gets em to smile more 🤣

When the weather said rain + hail… we changed it up and booked @studioeleven.tulare in Tulare, CA for a quick 1.5-hour rental, and it ended up being perfect for this extended family of 13 (and a half) ☺️. The space was cozy, easy, and gave us plenty of time to capture everyone comfortably.

Sometimes plan B ends up being better than plan A - and this session was proof!

Can’t wait to book some time here for mini sessions in the future! 🤩

Getting married in 2025 or 2026? Let’s talk!
I’m currently booking weddings for summer 2025 and beyond! 🫶🏻

The heat of the summer is almost here 🥲 so let’s take your family photo session inside!!

Lifestyle sessions at home are just as fun, and way more comfortable when it’s 110+ degrees this summer 🤪

Sarah Harris

Owner / Lead Photographer

Hello! I’m Sarah - your go-to photographer and honorary best friend behind the lens.

Based in the heart of California’s Central Valley, I’ve been capturing stories since 2010, and it’s truly been my greatest adventure.

With over 15+ years of experience, I specialize in preserving the magic of weddings and the beauty of portrait photography. My style is warm, candid, and heartfelt - focused on creating a relaxed space where you can be fully yourself.

For me, photography isn’t just a job - it’s a joy and a privilege. My mission is to help your authentic connection and personality shine through in every image.

Josh Harris

Co-Owner / Photographer

Hey there! I’m Josh - Sarah’s husband, business partner, and trained associate shooter. I’m proud to work alongside her, helping capture every angle, every emotion, and all the in-between moments that make a story complete.

While I specialize in headshots, details, and the artistry of both people and machines (I’ve got a soft spot for a good car photo!), my role as an associate / second shooter allows me to bring a unique perspective to weddings and events.

Photography has been a journey of discovery for me, and I bring the same warm, laid-back energy as Sarah to every shoot. Together, we make a pretty great team - on and off camera!
