More than a photograph

The ordinary parts of life are often the ones we miss the most.

A glance across the room. The way your child reaches for you. The people who make a place feel like home. These moments can feel small while we are living them. On the wall, they become a daily reminder of what matters.

Special projects

Some ideas need a world of their own.

From the magic of Santa to an idea no one has made yet, Sarah creates the setting, the details, and the portrait around a story you want to bring to life.

Fantasy portraits

We never have to outgrow our imagination.

Dress to the nines. Dress like a pirate. Be elegant. Be ridiculous. Bring the idea that makes you happy, and together we'll turn it into a portrait that is completely your own.

Family portraits

This is what home looks like right now.

The missing teeth. The arms around your neck. The laugh that never sounds the same on command. Your family does not need to be perfect. You only need to show up as yourselves.

Headshots & branding

Show the person behind the work.

You have worked hard to build what comes next. Your portraits should carry the confidence, warmth, and personality you bring to it every day.

Not sure where your idea fits?

That's okay. Start with what is on your heart, and Sarah will help shape the details from there.

Made to last

The finishing touch that turns your portrait into art.

A portrait should not disappear into a camera roll. Sarah helps you choose what belongs on your walls and what deserves a place in an album, from the right scale and placement to the final finish.

For select canvas pieces, a heavy, solid-wood frame is carefully chosen to become part of the portrait, never a distraction from it. The finished artwork is then protected for its journey home.

Sarah Dickerson, portrait artist

Behind the lens

I'm Sarah. An artist. A wife. A daughter. A mom. But most of all, a storyteller.

My grandfather, my best buddy, could find a story in anyone. He taught me to see the heart inside a person, even when I was too shy to say hello. That lesson is still at the center of my work.

I believe every story deserves the same pause and warm, human connection. Life is not perfect. We are not perfect. But that is often where the most beauty can be found.

With a BFA in photography and a love of art history, I bring a little of the old masters into the modern lives I have the privilege to photograph.
