{: : about you}

Spontaneously at ease. Radiant. Love-filled.

Yes, it’s really you, when you know you’re finally in good hands and free to just enjoy yourself. And this is exactly how I help you feel.

If you’ve clicked on my site, you’re looking for a photographer, and you want something different. (otherwise you’d be looking at Picture People or JCPenny’s or Target, yes?) You want the real-ness of your family captured, to have for all time, and you know that beautiful, evocative family portraiture is a family possession like no other.

During your session, you’ll think, “this is way too ordinary to be beautiful.”

That’s when I’ll get the good stuff. Because your real life is beautiful.

The way you might be nervous it has to be? It doesn’t, promise. No matter what happens, I’m still going to get it, the essential quality of what’s beautiful about you, your family, your life. (We’re sending your what-ifs and have-to’s on retreat.)

We’ll laugh. We’ll improvise. We’ll create your optimal conditions of ease.

There will be moments when you forget I’m there.

Seeing their images, it’s not uncommon for my families to burst into tears.

“Seeing these images makes me realize how much love I have in my life.”

“That is so us.” 

“How did you get that? I was there, and I didn’t see it.”

“I’ve only had glimmerings, but now I have proof.”

“I can’t tell you how grateful I am that we did this, that we have these now. These images mean everything to us.”

 

Sarah Prall Photography families don’t just see pretty pictures of beloved families, children, newborns, or pregnancy.

They recognize an essential quality of themselves, and in the ones they love. They feel seen, in the truest sense, in all the best ways.

The things they thought were perfectly ordinary turn out to be the most remarkable things about them. Always felt, but never seen.

Sometimes these things had even been forgotten, covered up with layers of stuff.

Even when they were afraid there was nothing to be found, they see how much richness and beauty was always around them. All it took was a fresh pair of eyes, trained and experienced enough to see it and show it to them.

They begin to see that beauty everywhere.

More than anything in the world, I want to show you what’s beautiful about the way you are with the ones you love.

Not glossed over, but seen. In the most loving, true, deep ways. So you can remember the way you were today, with each other, for tomorrow, always.

See what your experience will be like.
