I would buy a print of those sailboats. snap! nice work as always =)
Sarah, these are gorgeous! And so fun, as usual! Can you believe we were in Chelan at the same time last weekend! How funny! See ya soon. :)
The 'feel' of perspective in the staircase shots is amazing! I love those straight lines wrapping around the subjects - very modern!
I'm always a fan of shadows over people like your second to last.
oh, how beautiful. i miss Seattle. one of these days sarah and chris we will need to hook up while we (the houseman's) are in Seattle.
I want to put you in my pocket and take you around the world with me. And we can sing together! "ShoOock me like anelectricfield." You are wonderful, lady :D
Great images...my favourtite image is the first pic where the couple are in between the copper backdrop.
Some great movement, and some great moments in the shots. Nice!

Sarah- Wow! Your work is beautiful! I found you through Promise's blog...looks like I have another photog to add to the blog obsession-haha!
Jon and I just spent a BEAUTIFUL evening at the sculpture park this week, it's really fun to see your point of view in these images. Just beautiful light! Enjoy Chelan, I love it there! I highly recommend the mini golf on the real grass! And yes you very lucky and but more importantly very talented!
Welcome to Chelan- holler if you want to go swimming before your wedding- It's gonna be a hot weekend for weddings! ;)

Sarah, we are so in love with these pictures! Thank you so much. They are amazing.
love the colorful grass and the bike shot. adorable couple.
Arrested Development = love
I can't wait to see 500 Days of Summer- Zooey makes my heart smile. Yeah, and the husband isn't so excited about it either...
These two are adorable together!! Especially love the colorful park shot. I second the "Away We Go" movie rec. Although it looks a little crude, Bruno looks pretty heeee-larious!
@SarahRhoads have you seen Away We Go yet? If not i think you guys might like it. Check out the preview :) toodles!
I am just starting out in photography and I am always inspired when I come to your blog!!! Amazing and such personal work!
@sarahbrown you gotta love a girl who loves her some Battlestar!! So glad there are some other fans out there!
Gorgeous as usual! My favorite is the first one. I am still loving your post processing.

Hey Sarah! I subscribe to your blog via RSS (read: stalk!) and just when I thought I couldn't love you any more, you had to go and be a Battlestar fan. My kind of girl!
these are fantastic....the fourth on in is totally canvas material.
if i didn't live in the mitten i would totally hit up that movie with ya. i am a mega movie lover.
If I wasn't in the East I would come with you to the movie!! I can't wait either!!
Fantastic shots!!
As you already know, I am a regular subscriber to your blog. So when I saw that there's a brand new entry on my Google Reader, my heart started pounding and I had a feeling that after your June 5 post (in which the images were super fun and they cracked me up), I thought perhaps ours might come up soon. And there they were! I can't begin to tell you how thrilled both of us were going through those pictures tonight as soon as we discovered them.. They were insanely fabulous!! The very last one is my favorite among all: it totally captures how Yanda and I are with each other. I also really loved the UW library shots and the grassy field; they were exactly what I had wanted/imagined, only a million times better.
Thank you SO MUCH for spending so much time with us for the super awesome shots! You are truly talented and we couldn't be any happier with the images. (At first I was worried about my hairdo because I felt that I didn't look like myself with it, but you made everything look so beautiful, easy and natural and I couldn't be happier with the result.) I am so glad that we chose you for our e-session; you were absolutely wonderful to work with! We had so much fun with you and can't wait to see the rest of the pictures!
Love,
Luna & Yanda
These are amazing and inspiring photos. Great creativity. I love the legs with the brick streets and the framing done with the flowers.
These are amazing and inspiring photos. Great creativity. I love the legs with the brick streets and the way you the framing done with the flowers.
Love the shot with the birds! Great ones in the library too.
Wow. That wide angle shot in the library is beyond phenomenal. You've done it again...and again....and again.
Oh my oh MY!! I think this is my most favoritest of you all of your shoots........yup. Maybe it's that I love books? Color? Pictures?? I don't know,, can't put my finger on it but I know I'll dream of this post tonight........yup.
This is an incredible set of images. I love every single one of them. You are amazing!
awesome set Sarah...you have such a wonderful feel to your images.
super fun session ... love everything about it ... books, field, and a beautiful couple! you rocked it!
what a great session. they are such a beautiful couple!
I think library shots in general might be some of my favorites. Library shots taken by the Rhoads make them killer!
Fantastic photos, and such a beautiful couple.
Just love your way of taking photos - it's a great inspiration for me. Thanks!
*blowing me away* it's pretty breezy over here on your blog :)
amazing as always! love the field shots and that bird one is stinkin awesome!
This shoot makes my heart happy! The colors, her dresses, the birds...Sarah, your attention to detail and your ability to capture the magic in people is beautiful as always...
Who's jealous? Jonathan, are you jealous?. Nope, I think I'm in lub.
Killed it, killed it, killed it! Flawless shoot that tells a beautiful love story! K
Yep - awesomeness. :) You guys are always so creative.
great work. where do i start?
i love, love, love the brick shot. i also like the shot through the branches to reveal the couple. i like that the prospective groom has some flower petals on his shoulder. the B&W library shot is great. oh, i really like the off-center shot of the couple on the stairs. the site scouting paid off.
Um, you said check out the awesome'ness and these are that + fantastic'ness! Nice work lady!
wow. i really love this engagement shoot. really, really, really.
I love these photographs...even if I didn't know you I would love these photographs...the last one is especially sweet...
These are beautifully-rendered photos. Anna, you look like a model! My favorites are third to the last and the last shot....
I have goosebumps right now! These are absolutely breathtaking! Anna and Jose are such beautiful people and they truly radiate in every photo.
Sarah, knowing both of these terrific young adults you have truly brought the love and passion for life that these two have for each other and their family and friends. What a special day in January it will be. What wonderful photographs that they will share forever.
cripes! you inspire me in ridiculous ways. thanks for sharing.
l.
Words can not begin to express the gift you have given to Jose and I in these images and I thank you for that! We knew from the minute we met you that you were going to be able to capture us in a way that is unique, artistic, and real! Our lives get so busy sometimes that we rarely take a chance to stop and truly appreciate what we have and who we have chosen to share our lives with; thank you for providing me with that chance! You Rock, Sarah Rhoads!!!:)
what a great series!
These are such beautiful pictures! Hands down...these are the prettiest engagement pictures I have ever seen and the photos capture how lovely Jose and Anna are together. I look forward to meeting you.
Grace
Beautiful! Seriously, I'm so glad that I found your blog. (I think that I might have already said that in a comment before) but really, your work is truly inspiring.
You guys are such an inspiration to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you :)
that teal railing, her dress and the lights are perfection! beautiful session!!
Chris & Sarah, your pictures are beautiful. May God bless you always .Congratulations
I was just up in Seattle for the first time and had a great time! I love the faraway shot at Olympic Sculpture Park... love the mix of nature and industrial. So beautiful, as always. :)
Great post. Love the way you use your surroundings and architecture.
Wowweee Wow Wa...what a beautiful couple adorned with gorgeous images. I love the life, love and sweet tenderness that you capture consistently. I envision photography as individual images on a gallery wall and I could honestly see every image you take on that gallery wall..with crowds of people standing back admiring your work and suddenly grabbing the hand of the person they are with and being so thankful to have them in their lifes and walk away smiling while taking a second look back at the wall. Haha that might not make any sense but that is pretty much what I do everytime I look at your blog. I look the images atleast 3 times (and there are only a handful of photographers that really make me react that way) I look at Scott and feel blessed. I feel honored..just like I know all of your couples do.. to be on your gallery wall.
sarah, you know that i love your work already, but i have to say that your commentary about 'occupation', etc...literally made me well up. i am so grateful for my ability to do this and to provide for my family with photography. i feel like i can never articulate my appreciation. you said it perfectly. perfectly.
Wow another beautiful session! I love the first one with all the windows and totally feel you on the last part! I'm soo grateful to be doing something I love so much and to have talented photogs like yourself as inspiration!
Your amazing. My niece Anna is so beautiful in these shots and Jose's guiet strenght is so captured. from one photographer to another great jobT
Wow! So many great locations!!! The photos look great.
Ditto to all of the below! Hanging out with you last week transformed a crappy week into a great one. Your positivity and personality are so infectious...thank you for your uplifting words and reminder to be more thankful and grateful for everything we have. You and Chris certainly deserve everything wonderful that comes your way and then some, Sarah! We are the ones who are blessed because of you two!
Sarah,
You are amazing, I love following your work! Thank you this day so much for the words you shared with your beautiful images. It is a good day to give thanks for being able to what we love!
Sarah
Holy sarah rhoads. What a beautiful post. I love so much that you bring more than just images to your blog. Thank you for being open enough to share your thoughts. Your images are always amazing. They make me see the world differently. But it's your thoughts that change how I think & feel. Thank you.
ok, ok, thanks so much for the little reminder of how awesome it is to do what we do for a living. I know that I LOVE this, but sometimes you just get down, and reading your words, in this moment, totally brought me back to life so to speak...so THANK YOU :)
