love love that first shot and that bike one and the sunray ones and love how your logo looks on the pictures
Just blog-hopping and scrolled along (like the little arrow said to do!) and I got tears in my eyes when I saw the first picture of him kissing her forehead. That is a perfect moment captured.
That's all. Thank you for making me smile.
Wow..I don't know which of these two are cooler! Hot dogs AND amazing minimalistic, modern architecture?!! Talk about a match made in happen.
I love that you guys attract the most amazing creative types. These are so great!
Amazing as usual! But more importantly i get to meet you in person very very soon! i can't wait!!!
Sarah, these are amazing! Chris and Laura, you guys look great!!
Different kinds of hotdogs is definitely thinking outside of the box!! I wish I was close enough to try one.
These are awesome Sarah. The image of them frames by the bike is my fave, but the one just before that is pretty damn sweet too :)
@Chad hahaha I know right?! I crave these things ALL the time. It's ridiculous. They just came out with a new macaroni dog and it's soo stinkin yummy.
Really really good shots in this one. Love the black and whites especially the one where he is hugging her. Fantastic shots too with the sun going down. Great golden tones. Never cease to impress haha
@Kristin hi! yes we mostly try to use ambient light when we can but there are times when it is just too dark. In those cases (like the shots inside the bedroom in Darby & Reece's shoot) we just popped a flash on and bounced it but we always want to make it look as natural as possible :) hope that helps
Long time follower, first time commenter...
You have such a unique style; it's really simple, clean, and exploding with energy and happiness. Just great.
I had a technical question I've been meaning to ask... how much additional lighting do you generally use for your shoots? Much of your work looks like natural light, and if I get the sense that there might have been additional lighting, it's always nice and subtle.
Really lovely shots as usual! Thanks for sharing :)
If I come to Seattle would you ever photograph me??? You must have people lined up throughout the city!
Each photo is a work of art. I cannot wait to meet you at WPPI (if I am so lucky!)
Awesomeness again!
All your interior shots have me so excited for my trip next week to Portland. We're staying at the Ace Hotel which I think I remember you saying you loved. I can't wait!
PS. These are lovely, as always! :)
@Lydia I KNOW!! She is perfect for us! ;)
@CristyCross It's weird you say that because oddly enough I kindof thought Darby and I looked a little bit alike too..;)
Ahhhh!!!! Sarah!!!!! I am so excited!!! These are awesome and make me love you even more (if that is possible!). YAYYYYYYYY!
Such a cute story of how you guys met!
I really, really LOVE #5! It looks like a painting!
A-dorable. My sister is a producer on Friday Night Lights in Austin :).
Sweeeeeettt! These photos are so sweet, what a sweet couple! :)
I thought Darby was your sister. The black and white one of her smiling with her hair taying in the wind looks like you.
I know that I would have know she wasn't your sister if I would have read the info first, but I didn't :)
Love these. I love the interaction in the first few of them playing footsie :)
Darby is a perfect Sarah Rhoads bride! Love how you captured a glimpse into their life and love!
Such a happy session!! Love the colors and their style!!
what a sweet session! Love the yellow phone :)
courtney, your pics are so cute . you and your fiance look adorable together. we are all so porud of you. you turned into a beautiful woman, may your wedding day be everything u expected and more. love the lingerie crew
I'm reading your blog backwards. Taking a couple entries at a time. So you'll probably see comments from me all over the place lol. Let me just say that your posts are not only filled with pictures that are uniquely beautiful in and of themselves, but your words are packed so full of wisdom. I'm always writing down phrases you say and putting them around my house for inspiration. It is SO magnificently wonderful to find a sister in Christ who can give glory to God with your picture and pen. You are a blessing, an inspiration, and your words give fuel to my passion. I cannot even begin to express how you have impacted my life within the past few days of me sitting down and taking the time to read through your blog. So thank you.
This is an incredibly gorgeous set of photos... so much joy and you captured them perfectly
That last one is made of magic. love the magenta tones.
I love seeing your shots and thinking "i know that alley" or I love that brick. You represent Seattle wonderfully!
i've decided that you are either the most hillarious person ever, or all of your couples happen to get the giggles during the shoot! ;)
gorgeous pics! reminds me of my seattle days. :)
love the last and the 3rd last photos especially - beautiful.
Shooting at dusk is becoming one of my favorite things to do.
love love love that last one. I can feel their connection through the computer screen --- impressive.
I see love beauty and a future. Much creativity as well.What a couple!
The combination of your words and photos is one of the most awe-inspiring and motivating things to me. Thank you for doing what you do.
love love love that last one. I can feel their connection through the computer screen --- impressive.
Wow, I love them, really cool.
what a great way too make a mom and dad very happy, and we get too show the pictures and bragg how beautiful they are together. Dad
Love the reflection too... reminds me of the self portrait you guys rocked :) I LOVE how inspiration can spin into amazing execution!
A plus for me (maybe because I am a photographer - dunno) is that you are in the image. Because you are always in your images really, but here you actually slightly visible.
beautiful shots! -the lighting is so soft and perfect.
Such a cute couple! Amazing photos as always I especially love how your couples always look like they are having so much fun!
Love all of the laughter in these !! My fave is the one behind the glass :) Amazing as always !
too much, too much, too much. i just love them. every one. all the time. :) p.s. LOVING "start with why" by the way.
"we begin to feel & see exhaustion becoming pure energy and momentum..." I love this! And I love the one with the 'our world is getting a little brighter' sign!
What a great looking couple. That first picture is so awesome!

perfect timing on the backflip shot! i love how you guys are always keeping it fresh -- new perspectives and post processing all the time (but yet consistent -- youknowwhatimean though).
I just had coffee with one of those people last night. It's so great to find!
