Little Car Photography

About

Hi! My name's Sarah, and I've devoted my life to beautiful, emotive photography. Photography has the power to freeze time, to capture emotions and to make you feel things years down the road that you may have forgotten. Photography tells the truth (or a piece of it), it captures you in one instant and preserves that moment no matter how much you or the world around you changes.

~ A PEOPLE PERSON ~

Every photographer has their niche, and I can say without hesitation that my speciality is photographing people. It's one thing to capture a persons face, but another entirely to capture their laugh, a sigh, a little glimpse at who they really are. After every wedding, portrait or corporate session I feel like I've made new friends - it's likely I know nothing about them or their life but their portraits speak about who they are. You could say that I use a candid approach to photograph real moments, but by engaging with my clients and being open and friendly I find that natural photography just happens. And when the real smile slips out I'm there ready to catch it.

~ A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER ~

I love photographing weddings. The air is electric with all the little pieces coming together to create one of the most memorable days of your life. When you first see each other all dressed up, the first touch, the first kiss, saying I do and dancing the night away to celebrate many more years of love, kisses and dancing. You will never forget these things, but sometimes it's hard to remember all the little details. An image speaks a thousand words, and through beautiful photography you can relive that day again and again with family, friends and children who may not have been with you on the day.

~ A PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER ~

Life is full of moments. Birthdays, graduations, new additions to the family, anniversaries and so much more. One of my favourite things to do as a child was to go through the family photo book, I loved looking back on those moments in my parents life. What did I look like as a baby? What did they look like when they were 21? What kind of crazy gown did they make my dad wear on his graduation? A family photo is like a page in a history book. One of the most important jobs as a photographer is to document history (small or large) through photos that capture the essence of a moment and bring people back to that moment again and again.

~ A CORPORATE PHOTOGRAPHER ~

Great images that tell the story of your business are essential to attracting customers - Who you are, what you do and what you are about. A clever and evoking image can capture an audience within seconds. My job is to create images of your business and staff that help your customers feel an instant connection.

~ MY STORY ~

After studying creative communications at the University of South Australia I worked as a commercial studio photographer for an International Publishing Company for 5 years. It was an amazing experience that saw my skills as a photographer grow through years of practice and mentoring from other industry professionals. However, I felt that my creative needs weren't being fulfilled, and in early 2012 I decided to take the big leap and start my Adelaide based photography company "Little Car Photography"! Working for myself gave me the freedom to photograph a wider variety of work, and focus on what I love. Candid portraiture using natural light is my speciality, but more than that I am a people person. An attentive photographer that you can trust, backed up by years of experience and an artistic eye for detail.

I use my experience, education and passion for photography to tell stories and capture moments. For any project small or large I'd love to catch up for a chat either over the phone or over a coffee.
