Hey, I’m Sarah!

I am so glad you're here! When I’m not photographing other families, I’m probably with my family either playing board games or hanging out at the ballpark. I’ve been a photographer since I was a teenager, so I can’t imagine doing anything else!

A little bit about me…

  • I’m a Florida State University alum (Go Noles!)

  • I drink entirely too much coffee

  • My favorite TV show is FRIENDS, but I also love a good true crime documentary!

  • I have two Labrador Retrievers named Luna and Blue

  • I love the beach, but the mountains are forever calling my name

  • I love to bake! My great-grandparents actually owned a bakery on Palafox St in Pensacola from 1926-1962, so it runs in my blood!

A Glimpse into my life

Funny enough, a lot of people think my name is June! I get it - many photographers name their business after themselves. But my business was named after a certain monumental event in my life - the birth of my first child. From the time my son was born, I was a new person. I was a mother now, and it changed me for the better, and forever. I wanted a business name that reflected my motherhood journey -after all, I want to photograph mamas and their babies more than anything! My son was born in June, and a sunrise is a beautiful new beginning. Thus, how the name June Sunrise was born!
