» Cape Cod Portraits by The Studio by the Sea

You have this beautiful family that you just can't get enough of, and want to share every bit of your love with. I get that. Being a mom is my favorite part of this journey of life; moments together with just family with no distractions are so rare, and so treasured; they are cause for celebration.

You deserve beautiful portraits of your family. Let's talk about how we can create art for your walls that shows the love you and your family share. How you can have the people you love most surrounding you even when they're not there. Let's create portraits for you that share who your family is at this moment in time, portraits that capture today. Portraits that celebrate love.

Cape Cod family portraits, created with love to share the love.

The Studio by the Sea, Cape Cod

Celebrate your family. Celebrate your life.

Hey! Sarah here, welcome to my site! I'm so glad you're here.

When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me walking on a beach somewhere, creating something, beach combing, {or beach clean-upping}, texting my beautiful DC living daughter, planning my next journey or exploring somewhere new (or beloved) or laughing about something with my hubby, all the while generally just finding wonder in the world. Usually my hair's a mess and my pockets are filled with rocks, or plastic I've been picking up for my @EbbtheTide project.

I love celebrating families, and commemorating the every day love you share through portraits. Spending an hour or so just being with your family, laughing, being in the moment, could quite possibly be the perfect summer evening.... What do you love to do together? What brings you joy? What do you most want to remember about your family today?

I am passionate about saving our planet and all of it's many creatures, as well as empowering women and spreading happiness. We donate a portion of our session fees each year, in the past few years we've supported: APCC, NRDC, Ocean Conservancy to support their Trash Free Seas initiative, Center for Coastal Studies and The Sea turtle Rescue initiative at Mass Audobon's Wellfleet Bay.

Give me a shout if you want to talk about your family, I can't wait to hear all about them...

xo Sarah

Families

Cape Cod family portraits on our beautiful beaches, are taken the hour or so before sunset, or at sunrise, June through October. That's when you'll find the perfect light for portraiture.

Your portraits are about you and the love you share for your family. Generally our clients choose us because they're looking for some beautifully and naturally posed family photos on the beach, and different groupings within the family, just the kids, each child alone, grandma & grandpa with their grandkids, the cousins... Some of our favorite images are the more storytelling or interactive portraits of your family enjoying being together. We love when the emphasis is on each other, rather than the camera.

Seniors

You are special. You are unique. There is no one else in the world just like you, let's capture that. Let's celebrate you.

We photograph a limited number of senior sessions over the course of a year. Most of our senior portraits are photographed on the beach June, July and August to meet fall yearbook deadlines, but maybe you'd prefer an urban setting or a garden or somewhere else... We want your personality to shine through in your portraits, who do you want to share with the world?

Beautiful Cape Cod senior portraits can be added to our family sessions, please inquire, we'd be happy to share all the details with you.
