  • "We recently had our five and three year old's heirloom portraits done with Sara. Not only did she knock it out of the park with capturing each of my children's individuality and likeness, she also went above and beyond to create a composite design that matched previous photos we have had taken. After receiving the gallery, we immediately booked Sara for our newborn family photo session. "

  • "The results speak for themselves. Each photograph is a work of art, filled with emotion and authenticity. Sara's skill in capturing these fleeting moments is truly extraordinary, and I am so grateful for the beautiful memories she has preserved for us. If you’re looking for a photographer who combines exceptional talent with a warm, professional demeanor, look no further than Sara at The Studio Magnolia. She is simply the best!"
