AND I WANT TO BE A PART

of your special moments

. . .

GET TO KNOW ME

How long have you done photography? Over 10 years! I picked up a camera in a highschool yearbook class and haven’t set it down since. For the last 6 years I also worked as an elementary school teacher in Omaha. I now am pursuing solely photography.

What is your favorite part of the job? This is tough! I feel so grateful to be able to witness such special moments. I would say my favorite part is shooting multiple milestones for clients over the years. I have many that have become family and welcome me back into their lives year after year.

Where have you been for work? Most of my day to day sessions are located in Omaha however I have traveled to Texas, Kansas City, Arizona, Iowa, Palm Springs, and Mexico now several times.

What does the behind the scenes look like for you? Witnessing the moment is only a small part in the developing of photographs! A lot of my time is spent editing photos, replying to emails, and meeting clients to talk details

A little about me

. . .

Hi, I'm Sarah — the heart behind Sarah Frances Photography.

The name Frances was passed down to me from both of my grandmothers — a name I once resisted, but have come to deeply cherish. As I grew older, I began to appreciate the legacy and love it represents. Naming my business after them felt like the most meaningful way to honor that connection — and it’s now at the very heart of everything I do.

My journey with photography began in a high school yearbook class, where I first picked up a camera and never really put it down. I went on to earn both my undergraduate and master’s degrees in elementary education and spent six wonderful years teaching in Omaha. Eventually, I felt the pull to pursue photography full-time — a decision that has brought me so much joy and fulfillment. I'm truly grateful for the flexibility this career brings and the privilege of being invited into some of life’s happiest, most meaningful moments.

At home, I’m a proud dog mom to Honey and Ivy — my constant companions and unofficial coworkers during late-night editing sessions. When I’m not with them, you’ll usually find me planning my next adventure. I love exploring new places, meeting new people, and drawing inspiration from unfamiliar scenery. But no matter where I go, I always find my way back to my favorite place — Palm Springs, California.
