I have been in the paper for sports many times but I was blow away by the picture that you took of me doing long jump. This is by far the best picture i have ever had. The way you can see the grains of sand flying up my nose and even the cut i just got on my leg, it is the perfect way to end my track career. Every time i look at the newspaper clipping the moment is captured completely. Thank you so much for this picture I will cherish it always.
This was the first time that I had ever done any thing with sarah I wanted to say that she really has a unique gift of finding the right photo to explain in that moment that the camera shutter goes off what is going on. She captures the story all in one shot. Knows how to use her 3rd eye to see the word from another point of view. You trully have a gift with pictures Sarah..Dont stop showing the world what you see thru your camera lens..
Love and Blessings

Hi, nice to meet you !
I have to agree this is one very talented artist! She took a photo of me for the Ottawa Citizen a few years ago and though it’s happened a few times I never felt like a photographer got what I am about on any level. http://www.mkdb.ca/blog/media2blog/2083
We were in a tight space it was about me living in 325 sq ft and Sarah climbed up onto a kitchen countertop to shoot from a higher perspective and capture the feel of this great space and life style I was committed to. It’s not the photo they choose to run with but showed her willingness to climb and commitment to her vision. And the one they did pick is brimming with warmth and delight, it’s my favorite shot.
Obviously she’s gone on to great things and I look forward to witnessing how she evolves as an artist and story teller.
