When Céire messaged me about last minute couples Christmas photos and her idea, I got so excited. Céire, her husband Mike, and their dog Harley were closing in a few days on their new townhome and wanted to mark the occasion with a photoshoot!

I may be biased, but I think photoshoots are an excellent special date night and activity to mark special times of your life. For their couples Christmas photos, we decided to start in-home to capture snapshots of their life. From there we took a walk around the neighborhood! You better believe we got out the festive mugs, hot chocolate, and whipped cream. Even better was when they all snuggled on the couch to look over their wedding album from last year! They were married on New Years Eve of last year, and the love from these newlyweds can be felt in the room! Feeling the love hanging in the air is probably my favorite thing about photographing.

Couples Christmas Photos

No photoshoot is complete without the family animals. I mean, let’s be honest, they are like our children. So, when I say “couples Christmas photos”, I really mean a family affair with their labradoodle Harley in tow. Harley is five years old, a sweet snuggler, and incredibly curious soul. He also has quite an interest in attempting to use his paws in a humanlike fashion to open gifts…he was almost successful. But mainly, he wanted to ask me questions about my camera and what lenses I was using and try directing the shots, ha!

Gettin’ Cozy

After running around outside, we headed back to pop champagne to celebrate their new home! I was especially excited for them to celebrate because these two work to serve others, as a teacher and firefighter. It has been a tough fall, and we are so grateful for their commitment now more than ever.

Check out their cozy couples Christmas photos session and let me know what you think!

"Sarah is an extremely talented photographer. Not only are her skills phenomenal, but Sarah is an authentic and good soul all around. We absolutely loved having her as our photographer for our very intimate wedding. All our guests loved her too! I couldn't recommend Sarah enough. We found her by chance (I happened to follow her on Instagram per the recommendation of someone, but cant remember who). I always loved the pictures she would post and when we started looking for a photographer I thought of her and we reached out. I am so happy our paths crossed and Sarah was the person to document such a meaningful and magical day for us."

Sarah is wonderful! It's not just that she takes beautiful photos (which she obviously does!) - she is wonderfully communicative, sharp as a tack, and flexible. I had a delightful headshot/branding session with her.

I also coordinated a wedding where Sarah was the photographer and she was INCREDIBLE. A great wedding photographer requires stamina, a generous spirit, a head on a swivel, and a great eye for candid moments. She captured the spirit of the day in gorgeous images. The happy couple was so pleased!

You should hire her. Trust me on this. You should totally hire her.

"...Sarah went above and beyond our expectations. She spent ample time talking with me about my vision of the day, provided a detailed itinerary to help me stay organized, and was a listening ear when I needed practical wedding advice. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine nature helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. In addition, we are delighted with Sarah’s technical qualities as a photographer - her sense of mise-en-scène, attention to detail, and her remarkable ability to capture poignant and symbolic moments in an inter-cultural, inter-racial, pandemic wedding."

"She made everything easy and is warm and kind..."

"Beyond being a good photographer, Sarah truly works to make her clients feel comfortable and special during her sessions. She is incredibly personable and there were never any awkward, empty moments during our session! My fiancee and I were truly in the moment and Sarah allowed us to have candid, special moments together while she captured them for us to remember forever...Our day was stress-free thanks to her detailed planning...I absolutely recommend Sarah for anyone and everyone. We are forever thankful for her openness and hard work."

"Sarah creates a fun, creative, and safe environment that brings out the very best you to photograph. I had a great time in my headshot session with her and I ended up with beautiful photos (that actually look like me) I would be proud to bring into any audition room. 10/10 would recommend!"
