SARAH NEU PHOTOGRAPHY
ABOUT
I believe that a good photo captures what happened, but a GREAT photo captures the EMOTIONS of the moment. When you look at a great photo, you not only remember what happened, but you are transported back to that moment and you FEEL everything you felt at that original moment. My goal is to capture those great photos in every session that I do.
I’ve always loved photography, but I fell in love with photography as a profession when I started doing weddings. There is so much raw emotion during a wedding – the happy tears, the laughs, the hugs, the vows, the stories, and the dancing. In one day, I am able to capture so many once-in-a-lifetime moments and create photos that my clients will cherish for years to come.
Since then, I have found the beauty in portrait photography and capturing those beautiful moments that are a reflection of who you are. It’s one thing to take a picture of a three year old with the perfect smile; it’s a whole other thing to take a picture of a three year old making her classic nose-squishing, eye-squinting smile that may not look perfect to others, but instantly fills you with joy! I don’t know about you, but as a mom myself, I would choose that perfectly, imperfect smile every time! I want to capture the smiles, the laughs, and the moments that make your family unique.
Welcome!
My name is Sarah Neu.
In addition to being a photographer, I am a wife and mom of two little girls. I met my husband when we were just teenagers and now we have been together for over a decade and married for more than half of that! Time really does fly!
Growing up, I never thought I could take photos for a living, but here I am and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I fell in love with photography while using disposable cameras and taking pictures of my baby brother at 10 years old. I used to love getting the pictures developed and looking through them to see if I had captured any real gems
My favorite part about taking pictures has always been seeing the reactions from other people. When I was taking pictures of my little brother and I thought I had taken a really good one, I would run to show my mom and hope she saw it the same way I did. The goal was always to make her smile, but if she stopped to stare at it for more than 10 seconds or shed a happy tear or two, that was the cherry on top because it meant that my photo triggered an emotion for her, and THAT continues to be the ULTIMATE goal.
