Family Photography in Columbus, Ohio by Sarah Esposito

Let’s celebrate your “real life”

After all, you’ve worked so hard to get here. You don’t want another Christmas Card photo, you want a photographer who is willing to meet you and your children exactly where they are. To embrace them whether they’re shy, feral, neurospicy, silly, competitive, weird - bring it on. No bribery, no saying cheese. Just relaxed sessions where you can feel at ease doing the things that bring you joy, at home or your favorite place.

Hi, I’m Sarah!

I’m so glad you’re here. As a mom of four young kids, I get that scheduling family photos can feel like another chore that you just don’t have time for.

But I also know that no mom has ever regretted doing so (but I do hear from plenty of moms with grown kids who wish they could go back and get those photos - don’t be one!).

As a photographer with 10+ years of experience, I’ve created a streamlined process to walk you through setting up your session, learning about your family and making a session plan that feels true to you, and delivering all of your digital images plus a beautiful photo album straight to your door, so you can cross it off your to-do list.


“Sarah puts in the time to connect on a personal level. She’s connected to the energy of the people she works with, and that’s how she can pull out the best parts of them.”

— Abbey, a happy client talking about her family members

What to expect when you’re one of my families:

I will come without judgment and do my best to put you and your kids at ease before diving into your photosession.

Questionnaires to learn about what makes your family unique.

Location scouting (if we’re not meeting at your home).

My prep guide including styling advice and tips for success.

A kid-led session with an emphasis on play, connection, and real life.

A curated private gallery of artful, creative images on film and digital, plus the option to purchase prints from my trusted vendors directly from your gallery.

A date with your family - a rare opportunity to create cherished memories together free of distraction that you will look back on fondly (not a chore!).

Don’t just take it from me:

  • “I love that Sarah seeks to connect first before jumping into the work, which makes the whole experience comfortable, fun and easy.”

  • “It’s amazing how she can take an ordinary evening and make it look and feel so remarkable. I am so excited to share these with family but also for ourselves to look back and remember how things were when they were little. The giggles, the curls, the tiny hands, the togetherness; it is something we will truly cherish forever!”
