Last year before COVID seemed to be a thing, everyone was booked for the most popular wedding date of 2020 which was 10/10/2020. It seemed to have booked 2 years in advance because of its really neat date. In early 2020, Scott and Ashley reached out. We chatted over the phone and hit it off. […]

Sarah Botta Photography Fall Mini Sessions 2020 were so popular this year, I ended up doing two rounds of mini sessions! One day in Manassas near my old home and one day near Winchester. Funny enough, on the first day of mini sessions, I photographed a lot of other photographers and the second day of […]

Back in January, I first met Rowan. He was a tiny little thing at 3 months old! His mom and I met for coffee at a local coffee shop one a pretty warm January day in Woodbridge. We loved that our kids were 2 months apart. Fast forward through the beginning of COVID in March, […]

From the very first phone call I had with Hope, I felt like I made a friend. We immediately clicked and I was hoping that she and Brandon would book. Within one hour of our call she told me she wanted to move forward. I couldn’t wait to photograph her Rustic Brandy Hill Farm Fall […]

Friends! I’m back at it! For the last few months, I took a break from blogging. I had been working on rebranding which included launching a brand new website! Part of me was hesitant to blog because I didn’t know how swapping platforms would affect my blogs. Didn’t want to have to do the same […]

With so much focus on the bride for her wedding day, the groom is often left with a time and place to show up. He may or may not know what to bring or he may think he has packed everything but has forgotten something. Earlier this year, I was photographing bride and groom details […]

This gorgeous couples Fall Great Marsh Estate Engagement Session is the winner for “most rescheduled session.” Every time we scheduled, we had awful, cold, rainy weather. We finally lucked out with the most incredible fall day which couldn’t have been any more picture perfect!! Lauren and Adam are getting married at Great Marsh in the […]

Engagement sessions are the best! They are so relaxed and I feel like I have all the time in the world to get to know my couples better.

Welcome earthside sweet Evan Cabell! I absolutely adore this precious 8 day old baby. He is blonde haired and blue eyed, just like his parents! I photographed his parents wedding and maternity sessions which were both at Cabell’s Mill in Centerville. When he was born, Tom and Luci were thinking about middle names and they […]

Esmeralda’s mom knew exactly what she wanted for her 9 month portraits. Since her 9 month milestone fell right around Halloween, what cuter way to capture this Halloween 9 Month Milestone Session than dressing Esmeralda up as a lady bug and a trick or treater? The cuteness from this session was unbearable! Esmeralda gave us […]

About 1 month ago, I photographed his parents maternity session. During the session, they told me they were going to keep the gender a surprise! Surprise it’s a boy! Kaius came in for his Lakeridge Newborn Session at 9 days old. He was the most relaxed baby had dark hair just like his Dad. View a […]

When Jess first reached out about photographing her fall Shenandoah Valley Wedding, I knew I just had to photograph her wedding. Woodstock has a population of about 5,000 so it’s very rare that I have the opportunity to come back to Woodstock for a wedding. Jess and Marty shared their wedding day vision and I […]

We had the perfect day for Nick and Rebecca’s fall engagement session at Leesylvania State Park! After having to reschedule once because of rain, I was hoping we wouldn’t need to reschedule again! Rebecca was also hoping we wouldn’t have to reschedule again because she was so looking forward to her engagement session. The morning of […]

I was also […]
