I started my photography journey in 2008, right after I married Marty (my college sweetheart!). I loved watching our wedding photographer and what she accomplished with our own wedding photos, and I wanted to learn how to capture that same feeling for someone else. Photography and I fell in love.

Check out my blog and my Instagram feed - you'll find posts with photos of blushing, beautiful brides and exquisite wedding-day details... right next to posts with photos of sticky-faced kids, or my overgrown garden, or our rain boots on a sloppy day. Personal and professional run together, lines are blurred, and the result? Clients who know us really well, and trust who we are, as people and as photographers.

Behind the Camera

Hi, I'm Sherah!

welcome! I'm so glad you're here!

She's a 50-pound Aussie Mountain Doodle and he's a 10-pound Shih-Poo. Basically, we've got two super-smart doodles with a love-hate relationship (she loves, he hates).

Meet Charlie, Josh, and Lily. They're brilliant and kind and so much fun. We homeschool them, we've always had lots of pets, and we're taking them along with us as we travel the world.

We have three beautiful kids

Marty is my second shooter (and my husband!). I typically take life a bit too seriously, but lucky for me, Marty is Mr. Free-spirit Man. He's a little crazy, and I really like him. You'll like him, too.

THE QUIZ

No matter what their wedding day throws at them, they're marrying the LOVE OF THEIR LIFE -- all the rest is just icing on that buttercream velvet cake.

Live in the Moment

My DREAM CLIENTS:

That "This is IT!" moment between a bride and groom gets us every time.

My FAVORITE Wedding MOMENT:

I love flowers so much, I DIY'd my own wedding bouquets!

Marty and I met when I was 18, and got married in our early 20's! We're very different (ha!), but we have so much fun working together, and our love for photography is something we definitely have in common! 

A FEW THINGS You Need to Know:

We homeschool our three kids, and do our best to spend as much time as possible outside! We love hiking in forest preserves and our local arboretum, and vacations for us always include lakes or oceans!

I've always loved stories. I self-published my first book at age 10, with contact paper and duct tape, and my library put it up on display. Currently, I get to tell beautiful, incredible, real-life love stories, using my camera and my blog. One day, I'd love to write and publish an actual book... without the duct tape!
