"Because the best memories aren’t just lived—they’re beautifully preserved for generations."
I'm Sarah Larson, a family, maternity, and newborn photographer based in Madison, Wisconsin. As a mother myself, I know just how quickly time passes—the baby giggles, the tiny fingers wrapped around yours, the chaotic yet beautiful moments of family life. These are the moments we want to hold onto forever, and my passion is capturing them in a way that feels real, warm, and timeless.
Photography has always been a part of my life, but it took on a deeper meaning when I became a mom. I found myself not only documenting my own family's story but also making sure that I was in the frame too—present in the memories, not just behind the camera. I know how easy it is for parents, especially moms, to focus on capturing their kids while rarely stepping into the picture themselves. That’s why I make it my mission to ensure every family I work with has images that include everyone—so you can look back and see the love, the connection, and the joy you shared in those fleeting moments.
I believe in natural, heartfelt photography—no stiff poses, no forced smiles. Just you and your family, as you are, in a relaxed and comfortable setting. Whether it's the quiet anticipation of maternity, the tender first days with your newborn, or the beautifully imperfect chaos of family life, I focus on telling your story in a way that feels genuine and emotive.
- A Mom’s Perspective – I understand the importance of preserving these moments because I’m living them too. I know how fast they go, and I know how much it matters to have photos that reflect the love and connection in your family.
- Personalized Experience – Every family is unique, and I tailor each session to ensure it reflects your personality, style, and story.
- Comfort and Safety – Especially for newborn sessions, I prioritize a calm, safe environment where you can relax and trust that your little one is in caring hands.
- Timeless, Natural Storytelling – My goal is to give you images that you’ll treasure not just today, but for a lifetime.
I’d love to help you create lasting memories—not just for your children, but for you too. Let’s make sure you are in the frame, part of the story, and present in the memories your family will look back on for years to come.
I’d love to document your family's story. Contact me to book your session or learn more!

For years we prayed that we would be able to start a legacy of our own. Our sweet little boy and smiley girl came into this world and have forever changed us. When we're not photographing beautiful families and newborns, we are running around creating memories on our own with our little family.

Take us outside! There is nothing better than fresh air and beautiful scenery. Finally hiking for the first time while we were in Arizona for our wedding brought us to some of the most beautiful, breathtaking sights. We can not wait to continue to travel and explore new places! Let us join you on your most epic adventures!

There is nothing better than the love of a dog (and cat). If we could get a photo of the two of our furry friends together it would be a miracle. Meet Jagr, our "lab" mix and not pictured Kitty our sweet and sassy cat. After a long day at work or coaching, our sweet furry friends always welcome us home with love and snuggles. Who doesn't love a sloppy puppy kiss?!

Our love story started back in high school at the hockey rink. A player and manager secretly dating because coach said "don't date the players". Hockey has always brought us together and has introduced us both to so many forever friends. One of the best sounds in the world is that first set of skates hitting the ice. Did Cody bring two jerseys to change into at our engagement session, absolutely!
