  "Sarah has the most beautiful smile that brings me to her stream b/c it reminds me of love, peace, and happiness. she is a strong and admirable mother. Her stregnth and joy show through her photos she takes daily. Sarah's imagination and focus is outstanding with such a great point of view on life. Her children are lit up with life and love, you can tell by there smiles that are vibrant like their mothers. I admire Sarah's talent. The logo for her business says it all "art & soul" and that is exactly what her photos bring. I think with keeping up with her stream she is more than ready to venture off on her own to start a business and to be known to all that love life like she does.
  
  I admire your stregnth. I admire you!"

  "Capturing beauty is what Sarah does. It’s the emotion that you can see in her photos that captivates and moves you. To have met and become friends with someone as truly amazing as Sarah is indescribable. She’s an amazing friend, mother, and artist. She touches everyone on a personal level and trusts us enough to share a piece of her life. I remember the first time I saw some of Sarah’s work – my jaw literally dropped. I was intrigued by her ability to capture so much emotion in her photographs. After actually going out and photographing with her I’m even more amazed by her talent having had the “behind the scenes” tour. The personal touch she adds to all of her work shows how much she cares about what she does. She takes that personal interest in you and what you want to achieve and actually expands on that with her talent. Each and everyday I look forward to seeing what Sarah has to share because I know it’s going to be inspiring. She has talent for bringing out the beauty in everything and everyone around her because she is truly a beautiful and immensely talented person and I’m honored to be her friend.

  "Sarah is an artist with a camera. Technically, she nails every aspect of the photograph and her processing skills are out of this world. But more importantly than DoF or aperture or any other technical term out there... is the fact that each and every one of Sarah's photographs tells a story. When Sarah is your photographer, a picture truly is worth a thousand words.
  
  I've only known Sarah for a short time, but she's already touched my heart (art?) and soul. It's not just her pictures, though they will do the same, but her genuine personality is so heartfelt and strong. It's easy to feel an instant connection, which I feel is so important when looking for a photographer. And....if you're lucky, that connection will last longer than just a moment, and you'll be blessed with an encouraging friend who understands the hard times as well as the times that silly striped socks are in order.
  
  xoxo. :)"

  "With in a day after finding Flicker I came across Sarah’s stream by chance and from that moment on I was hooked. I only know Sarah through her work but she makes me feel as if were friends with the photos she shares with us.
  She can take the people, events, and the things around her in her life and photograph them in a way that make you feel like your there. She can make you feel the way she feels or she can inspire you in a way that you can only hope to someday be as great a photographer as she is.
  Sarah has been a very real inspiration in my work and my life just through her photographs.
  Sarah is the Mark Twain and Charles Dickens of photography in that she can bring you into a story or a take you some place you’ve never been just by looking at her great photographs.
  Sarah is truly an artist and an exceptional photographer.
  I’m so thankful she is kind enough to share her photos with us all.
  
  Thank you so very much Sarah.
  Sincerely Robert Frey"

  Girls Day Out says:

  "Sarah is a truly amazing photographer. Her talent goes far beyond taking photographs. She puts much thought and preparation into each session to capture that moment that takes your breath away. Myself and family have been blessed to have her in our lives as a close friend. She has photographed us often and her work is displayed on every wall and surface in our home. She is one of the most humble and giving people I know and her talent displays her natural perfection to detail. Time spent with her is a gift. She is always willing to share her knowledge to fellow photographers and genuinely wants to see others succeed. I have no doubt that her future will bring her great success in life. Love you Sarah XO"

  ""I am not even sure how I came about finding Sarah's work but I am so thankful I did. Sarah's photo's are breathtaking. Each one is unique and creative, no cookie cutter shots here! I find myself waiting to see what's next! She captures the spirit & personality of everyone she photographs. The subject always looks comfortable and natural, not posed and impatient to be done. I love the photos she takes of the children around her, you can feel her love pouring out from the photo and it's hard to capture an emotion through a photograph, that takes a true artist!"

  "Sarah is indeed an expert in expressing herself and capturing emotions with a simple click of a camera. She has an eye for composition and a nack of implementing an artistic flaire to her work. She definately has a style of her own, which is quite refreshing!
  
  Her work also reflects the kind of person she is. A great loving mother and excellent friend. Her stream always manages to invoke emotion, weather it's happiness or sadness.... it's a great feat to give another person emotion from a simple photograph.
  
  Sarah is indeed a great catch, I'm honored to be her friend!
  
  Best regards Sarah,
  
  Keith"

  "Sarah is one of my favorite photographers on Flickr. Her framing, subject matter, compositions and treatments are just impeccable. I had to give up on commenting on her stream because how many times can you use the word "fantastic" or "awesome" before you begin to look like a photogroupie...which I am...of her's. She's World-Class."

  "Sarahs stream is one of the first streams I came across on here! I dont think it was by accident because she has been used in my life and lit a fire in me to be better at whatever I do! Her ability to capture the true nature of her subjects, be it her beautiful children or the moon, just inspires me to be a better photographer. Not only are her images moving but how she shares from her heart and doesnt hide behind any fake walls. She is a wonderful photographer and a huge inspiration to me as a mother and artist! I pray she is blessed daily with angels! (just like Avery!)"
