What an incredible 2018!! I announced in June that I would be going full time and it was the best decision! I’ve had so much more time to dedicate to my couples, serve them well, and get to know them better. I already feel like I’m good friends with my couples and I’m honestly going […]

As soon as I first met Katie and Duc I knew I’d love them and I was right! They are the sweetest couple. I know I say that a lot but they really are! Katie’s personality is so gentle and bubbly and Duc is very calm, go with the flow. I love that!! Together they […]

Behind the scenes images are always fun. I personally love seeing other’s behind the scenes images because they allow to you see the person behind the camera. I thought I’d share a few behind the scenes images of Sarah Botta Photography with you! Over the last 2 years, my second shooters have captured me at […]

One day I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and I see this couple who just got engaged on the beach.

One morning, I woke up to a text that said, “I’m getting married December 30th are you available”? To be honest I thought it might be spam. My number is all over the internet so something like this happens every so often.  I texted the number back asking if I could give them a call […]

Here is it! The best of families 2017. I believe that capturing your family photos is so incredibly important, especially when you have young kids but even as they grow.

I was also […]
