Hello, I'm sarah
Family & lifestyle Photographer
The heart behind Soft Ember Photography. I’m a mom, a memory-keeper, and the one who knows what it feels like to always be behind the camera… capturing everyone else while quietly disappearing from the story.
Most days, you’ll find me with a camera in one hand and my coffee in the other… chasing my tiny humans through light, laughter, and those quiet in-between moments that mean everything.
My approach
I believe the most meaningful photos aren’t forced—they’re felt.
When you step into a session with me, I’ll gently guide you at first so you never feel awkward or unsure. From there, everything begins to unfold naturally. The laughter, the movement, the quiet in-between moments… those are the ones I’m always watching for.
My sessions are calm, playful, and connection-focused. No stiff posing. No pressure to be perfect. Just space for you to be fully present with the people you love most.
Because the moments you’ll want to remember forever are the ones that were real.
Around here, it’s not about perfection.
It’s about connection.
It’s about warmth.
It’s about preserving the feeling of this season before it slips into the next.
Kind words from
Dunn family
We had a wonderful experience with Sarah from Soft Ember Photography. She photographed our family in a mini session, including our two young boys, and was so patient, calm, and relaxed throughout the session. She made the kids feel completely at ease, which shows in the photos. The whole experience felt natural and enjoyable rather than rushed or stressful. We’re so grateful for her gentle approach and beautiful work, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other families looking for a photographer who is both talented and great with children.
