“I had family portraits taken by Sara and we were so happy with them! It was extremely windy that day and Sara was not fazed at all. She knew exactly where to place us all and we had a toddler too! Speaking of toddlers, Sara captured some adorable pictures of him! Actually looking at the camera and smiling which is an incredible feat! I wanted these photos for my annual Christmas card and they are perfect! Thank you Sara and Six18 Studio! ❤️”

"Everyone knows that Sara is awesome, and so are her photography skills. She manages to make my kid listen and follow directions and the pictures turn out great! She is also very artistic and manages to always find the perfect background. The only difficult part is picking which ones to print, there are too many options to choose from. 🙂"
