Hi, I’m Sarah — a Kalamazoo-based documentary photographer capturing honest, meaningful stories across Michigan.

I photograph families, organizations, and mission-driven work with a focus on real connection, everyday beauty, and the people behind the story.

Everyday stories of people, purpose, and connection — since 2013.
