Hope and Memory Photography bio picture
  • I help clients capture their child’s personality. Oh, and I’m really good at acting (I used to be a performer in a former life), terrific at eating dessert (my fat jeans would definitely agree), and my Russian accent is stellar (Russians have confused me for an actual Russian until I give them a blank face when my Russian vocabulary runs out). Clients love my creative whimsical photos and are always commenting on how I’ve captured them in such a unique and beautiful way. Personally, I think my ability to return emails faster than Superman’s flight speed is pretty impressive. My Momma thinks I’m determined and that I have great hair and beautiful eyes. My friends envy my ability to balance everything on my overly full plate (they should be envying my husband because I certainly couldn’t do it without him). My clients love that I effectively capture their family and bottle moments in time for them to savor for years to come; I help them hold on to their memories.

Martine - Hi Sarah, Here’s a link to my board: http://pinterest.com/mzoer/pin-it-to-win-it-2013-hope-and-memory-photography/

I had so much fun putting this Twinkle Little Star inspired session together. I am still nursing my 2 1/2 year old son. Since my nursling is no longer little and since he’s probably my last baby, I would love a session to celebrate and always remember this special time. I chose the Twinkle Little Star theme because that’s the song I sing as I nurse him to sleep at bedtime.

Brigitte - Hi Sarah, better late then never!! I better get to pining, what a great prize!!
