-Vincent Van Gogh

Nice to meet you!

I’m Sara! Let’s get to know each other.


I have loved stories for as long as I can remember. I was the shy, quiet bookworm kid that was obsessed with the Twilight series (Team Jacob). It only makes sense that I grew up to be a storyteller! Let’s get to know each other better so we can bring your dreams to life.

The Process

  • The first step is to reach out! You can do this via a contact form on my website, social media, or my email which is badlovecreativeco@gmail.com. I’ll respond in 1-3 business days!

  • This is where we’ll hop on a discovery call and discuss details! The initial consult is where you’ll tell me more about your vision, I’ll fill you in on my process, and we’ll formulate a plan to bring your vision to life.

  • This is where we’ll sign the contract and hash out payment!

  • Weddings and elopements are guaranteed a second consult a few weeks before the big day to finalize all the details and a schedule.

  • This is the exciting part! The day of the shoot we will have so much fun together! You’ll receive a preview gallery within 5 business days of our shoot and your full gallery within the quoted timeline.

No more stale photos - that’s so 2007

We’re a good fit if you’re looking for…

“I cant begin to tell you how great the experience with Sara was. Sara was not our original wedding photographer. She graciously stepped in after our original photographer had a conflict come up. We only had a month until our wedding when we booked Sara. She made everything go so smoothly! She even bought a poncho to be able to take rain pictures!! I could not recommend her more.”
