Meet the Studio Photographer
Hi there! I’m Sarah, the proud owner of Bells & Whistles Photography in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Formerly a wedding photographer for 8 years, I now focus on studio photography, specializing in capturing the beauty of family connections and childhood wonder.
My photography journey began over 15 years ago, inspired by travels with my husband, Chris. Together, we discovered a passion for storytelling through imagery, which has evolved into a love for documenting fleeting moments with sincerity and emotion.
At my studio, I specialize in family, newborn, and maternity photography, and underwater photography. I find joy in capturing the serene movements beneath the surface, creating stunning underwater maternity and family portraits.
Thank you for considering me to capture your family’s precious moments. Let’s embark on this storytelling journey together!
Warm regards,

Client Reviews
“I had very high expectations for photos of my newborn baby girl and Sarah hit it out of the park!! She took such adorable and beautiful photos it was impossible to pick which ones to print because I loved them all! She is also a baby whisperer – my baby didn’t cry once because she handled her in such a delicate way (she’s an experienced mom of 2 herself!). Needless to say, we will 100% be back for her 1 year old smash cake photo shoot!! Thanks, Sarah!!“
