Sarah and her husband were absolutely wonderful to work with! When I started looking for a photographer to capture our daughter’s milestone photos before her first birthday, I knew I wanted something timeless—photos that would become treasured heirloom pieces for our family. I have always loved the beautiful baby photos my mom has of my brothers and me, and I wanted to create those same special memories for my daughter to look back on one day.
Sarah truly brought that vision to life! Every photo was absolutely beautiful, and she captured our daughter so perfectly. What could have easily been a stressful experience with a little one was anything but! Sarah made the entire session feel comfortable, relaxed, and effortless. She was incredibly patient, warm, and easy to work with, making the experience enjoyable for our whole family.
We couldn’t be happier with the photos and are so grateful to have these beautiful memories that we will cherish for generations to come. Sarah gave us so much more than just pictures—she gave us keepsakes that I hope my daughter will treasure as much as I treasure my own childhood photos. I cannot recommend her enough!
Response from the owner · a week ago
Thank you so much for such a beautiful and thoughtful review! Your words truly mean the world to Kevin and me. I especially love hearing how much your own childhood photographs mean to you and that you wanted to create that same kind of lasting treasure for your daughter. There is something so special about being able to look back at photographs from generations before us, and it is one of the reasons I love what I do so much.
Milestone sessions are such a wonderful way to celebrate all the little changes that happen during that first year, and I am so happy we could make the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable for your family. My goal is always to create timeless portraits that become part of your family's story, something your daughter can look back on years from now and treasure just as you treasure your own childhood photos.
Thank you for trusting us with these precious memories and for allowing us to be a small part of your family's story. Knowing these images will be cherished for generations is the greatest compliment we could ever receive. We are so grateful for your kind words and hope you enjoy these beautiful keepsakes for many, many years to come!

We’ve trusted Sarah and Kevin Borchgrevink to capture memories for all four of our children over the past six years.

You get what you pay for. Our wrapped newborn photoshoot was a pretty penny but Sarah and her husband not only exceeded expectations, they blew us away. We will definitely be returning if/when we have another baby.

Sarah did an amazing job on our photos, both when our little one was a newborn and for her milestone (1st birthday)!!! She is super professional, caring, thoughtful, and friendly! Our baby girl loves Sarah and that is not the usual case for anyone outside of mommy and daddy.
I recommend Sarah to everyone!
Everyone is always so amazed by quality of the pictures!!!

Sarah is an excellent photographer, and the booking process was simple and smooth. Before the photoshoot, she provided detailed explanations of every aspect, which made us feel very reassured. On the day of the shoot, we arrived early, and Sarah warmly welcomed us, even allowing us to go in early to help our baby warm up. She prepared a variety of beautiful outfits for the baby, offering plenty of great options.
During the photoshoot, my baby was a bit nervous, but Sarah patiently adjusted the scenes and used different toys to capture my baby’s attention, and helping her relax. Throughout the process, she was never rushed and gave us ample time, even exceeding the scheduled duration to make sure we got all the shots we wanted.
Both my mom and I were very impressed with the entire experience. We’ve already agreed that we’ll choose Sarah again for our baby’s next milestone photoshoot!
Response from the owner · 2 weeks ago
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review! It truly means so much to me that you and your mom felt comfortable, cared for, and reassured throughout the entire experience. I know how important it is for parents to feel prepared and relaxed, especially when photographing little ones, since every baby has their own personality and timing. I always want families to feel that we have the time and flexibility to follow Baby's lead while capturing a beautiful variety of portraits. It was such a pleasure working with your family, and I'm so happy we could make the experience enjoyable for you both! Thank you for trusting me with these precious memories. I would absolutely love to welcome you back for your baby's next milestone and continue documenting all those sweet changes as your little one grows! 💕
