Love this shoot, I just realized I forgot to post after I spend an hour going through the 1st 10 pages of archives, but i guess I edit fast and was looking at as much as I could as fast as I could. Nice work. All of it.
These photos are so gorgeous. I love your site!
Some of the best work ive seen from you guys.. I love THIS you (picture me in my studio clapping for you, slow at first then faster and louder till everyone joins in).
Sarah + Chris, your lifestyle images are DOPE!

OMG, I am just in love. Seriously, I want a photo shoot with you... I'm in LA.
This has to be the ACE Hotel in Palm Springs, how lovely, just lovely!
Sarah & Chris - I LOVE this shoot, everything about it. You rocked it out... you should be proud!
every photo shoot you post becomes my new favorite shoot from you. i guess that's the way it should be! keep wowing me ... i know you will.
OOOOOooooo! I love the green and orange! And the black and white of Jai sitting by the window is so awesome! Great job!
These are Super Fun Sarah! Glad you had a wonderful time in Palm Springs :)

Most creative engagement photo session I have ever had the pleasure to gaze at.
Sweet images - dig the shoes out of the window and the couple blowing the dandelions. BTW - I also love the scrolling feature on the blog!
beautiful photos, sarah! loooooove the one with the couple in the mirror - how very clever you are! love the last one too, esp. the little smile on her face. :)
Wow! These pictures bring tears to my eyes as a Mom. Each photo is so precious, capturing their warmth and love for each other! Thanks, Sarah!
I love singing like no one is listening!! The three that intrigued me the most were the steering wheel one, them in the mirror, and them with their hoods up and that lovely gooey light. Keep up the good work!
these shots are amazing. i love the prop ;) what a rad couple! the second to last photo reminds me of the wallflowers - we could drive around with one headlight......
Love the image with them in the mirror. Great job! Also awesome talking to you last night. Lets plan dinner when we both get back :)

The one with the steering wheel in the foreground is great! I'm sure Andrea and Jeremiah love all these photos.
oh my!!! i can't even pick a favorite. you've stolen my heart once again with your photography.
Beautiful! Absolutely love your style!
love this e-session! My favorite frame is the one of them in the car mirror. Loved what you said about the guy at the stoplight. I always bust out when I'm driving but once I come to a stop I'm completely silent! I need to get over my embarrassment and embrace it! Thank you Sarah!!
Beautiful pix! I love how you make an engagement session look like an editorial from a magazine! And I love the image of the guy singing Frank Sinatra in his convertible!
Fantastic!!! These are such sincere, fun photos! I always enjoy looking at your work. Thank you for sharing and telling such beautiful stories!
Love these shots...the one inside the car with the steering wheel...LOVE IT!
This is a beauty full post - just creative and cool and soulful and deeply personal - love love love.
i love the honesty and uniqueness of these. and the way you capture the light and the story you tell. it looks like a scene from a beautiful, relaxed day and a happy couple in love.
Seriously LOVE this session. The sunlight, the colors, the car, the people, everything is so perfect! The one through the windshield with the reflections of the trees is my favorite. I always look forward to your pictures!
Wow..such amazing portraits! I love everything you wrote as well! I always think of a song by Straylight Run (Existentialism on Prom Night) that encourages everyone to sing like no ones listening and I remember driving home late at night from the movies or beach in highschool, no one on the road, hand out the window, past curfew, singing this on the top of my lungs and how free I felt. Your words flooded my mind with that memory. =)
Nice. Makes me want to take a drive with my sugar baby.
...by.far.my.favorite.blog.post.ever. ...!!!
These photos are definitely some of my favourite engagement photos ever! I'm always blown away by your work and how connected you are to your clients.
Love this times a million. The images, and the writing, as always.

Im so enthralled with your work. I love how you find the beauty in everything. I don't think Ive seen any photography that captures my eye like your work. I love the colors and the lighting! The lighting is so natural. Absolutley beautiful!
that portrait in the side-view mirror=more than awesome.

Love this set! Sweet ride, too. And is it me, or does she look like Sarah Silverman?
love these! love the one of her heels out of the car. ;)
great variety and looks like you captured this couple perfectly

These really are perfect. You did so good! Yay :D
This is one of my favorite shoots! I love the chess game shot.
The colors in these photos are amazing! I love the quilt.
these are so so wonderful, sarah. it was really special to see you capture these moments as you shot ... and to now see the outcome. you're a great artist. i'm glad i got to see a little part of that world this week. xoxo.
oh sarah i love these! the colors, the post-its.. beatutiful!
Added to my favorite photos you've taken!
Thank you for the continuous inspiration! :)
The colors and the tones of these images are fabulous! Really like the one with the sticky notes- so awesome.
So sweet :) Love all the colors and tones. Very beautiful.
These are fab! Totally. I love the album cover over the faces - nice.
FAVORITE! Love these! The colors are amazing!
Your images are so awesome! I love how you guys incorporate each couples style so well. Beautiful work!

Love the concept! SO creative as usual. That blanket rocks BTW :-).
Awesome session. Love their style and their post-its :)
Lovely!!! So warm and cuddly. You guys are amazing.
Love this shoot Sarah! Especially the shots of them lying on the blanket!
dave! i used to work with that guy. these are classic sarah rhoads. well done.
These are so beautiful! I love all the colors! Great variety too
I love these!!!!
So much colour and texture in every image. Story about the post-it notes makes me appreciate the shot even more. Awesome job!
I love how you capture so much of the couple's personality in their photos. The sticky notes will be a memory of theirs forever I'm sure. ...and now there's a beautiful photo to commemorate it. Beautiful! Love them all!
These are so amazing! I just love that blanket, what an awesome prop! The styling of this shoot is just plain awesome :)
Awesome! I want to shoot underwater SO bad!!!
Amazing! Simply Amazing
These are just gorgeous! I love to hear how you faced your fear and challenged yourself... look what came from that.
Ummm...these images make me REALLY want to try this.
Definitely love the huge bubble shot and the ones with the lights?! Yes, lights? I love that one of your goals this year was to shoot underwater and you have accomplished that goal! yea! There is so much about this business that takes away from shooting, that sometimes I feel (and this is probably bad to say) that it takes away from me thinking in photography. The better and fuller an artist knows their medium the more they just start thinking and creating. All the business and nitty gritty just takes that time away from being able to aspire. So I definitely am cheering for you!
Sssssweeeeeet!
love the ethereal look to the underwater photos!
and the makeup underwater! :)
I love your photos.
They are so creative and inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
luuuurve them!! I think the waters off Kona are always welcoming for an underwater shoot too! ;) My favorite is the third from last where she's just about to surface.
beautiful job, friends.
This is just beautiful, love your kindred spirit to experiment.
I've been wanting to go to Palm Springs, it's such a nice relaxing town, hope you enjoyed your stay. ;)
Sarah, these are awesome! Way to try something new!
Lovely photos! My favorite so far!!
@mary these are a combo of Jai's clothes and my clothing :) don't over-think it. Most times what you need is right in front of you.
the color in the last one is to die for... love that blue :) i do have a question... when you're styling these sessions yourselves, does that mean you're purchasing the goods (clothes, shoes, accessories, etc.) or borrowing? or returning? ;) would love to do some "shoot for me" shoots, but the styling part stumps me...
These are awesome! Some of my favorite photos ever!
Wow. What an inspiring post, and not just becuase of the images, but the admission of doing something outside of the world of comfort. You are truly a teacher. Awesome shoot! LOVE the last shot. There is something beautifully serene about it :) Happy Tuesday!
I love these! My favourite is the 3rd from the end. It makes my heart happy.
Rad, Rad, Rad, RAD!
omg......amazing, amazing, amazing! Sarah...you are so incredibly genuine about your work, your values and the person that you are! I truly admire you!
Ummm...Holy *%$#W#$IP#OJKLMRP#I)%I#)$U390&%()#&!!!! I'm typeless.
awesome!!!!!!
I absolutely love these. Awesome and yay you for you pushing your limits. I'd be a little freaked out tossing my camera into the water as well!
dangit.. I'm literally days away from moving to a place with a pool, already bought the under water camera & there you go ;P
the last one is the money shot. fun stuff :)
-S
Okay seriously you are one of the coolest photographers around. I admire you so much, your work is extraordinary. You are so inspiring and I just love everything you do. Great work!!!!

These are some of my favorites of your work. I'd be super afraid that I'd ruin my camera! This is lovely.
I would be totally freaked out to dunk my camera too! I've heard it's good to sink the actual housing unit without anything in it prior to putting the camera in and dunking to make sure the actual unit isn't faulty first.
So glad you were able to try this! The photos are great and getting out of your comfort zone totally makes you grow as a person...and photographer!

SOOOO Awesome!!! You have done it again - I am STUNNED!!! GORGEOUS!!!
