Lucy Turned 5

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here – and I have LOTS of catching up to do, that’s for sure!  But this image caught my eye and I had to post it right away!  I love Luke in the background, Chris looking so proud, Cinderella illuminated by 5 candles, and Lucy thinking so hard about blowing them all out!

Enjoy!

Featured on Design Aglow! | Concord/Clayton Family Photographer

I’m so honored to announce that my work has recently been featured in two different formats at Design Aglow – the Premier Magazine for Professional Image Makers!  Design Aglow specializes in inspiring and helping professional wedding and portrait photographers push their photography to the creative and innovate limits.  Recently they created “Inspire me Cards:  A Modern Posing Guide for Brides and Grooms”.  Most of the images were taken from the Who’s Who of wedding  photographers including Anna Kuperberg, Chenin Boutwell, Christa Hoffarth, Jessica Johnston, Laura Novak, Lena Hyde, Michelle Moore, Paul Johnson, Pelaez Photography, Red Leaf Studios, Susan Stripling, Tanja Lippert, Tinywater Photography.  However, Design Aglow ran a contest asking their readers to submit their most creative photo.  They received over 2,000 images and I am proud to say that my image was selected to be one of 20 chosen to be in the Inspire Guide!!!!!  Here it is:

I’m also very excited to announce that the birthday invitations I designed for Lucy’s 5th birthday was featured as Fan Share on their blog!  I used their product “Alphabet Bling” to design the invitations.  I photographed them and sent the images to Design Aglow and they choose to feature the cards on their blog!!!  Here is Lucy’s birthday invitation:

It’s been an exciting week here at Sara Goetz Photography!  Thank you for celebrating with us!!

Bolstad Family | Concord/Clayton Family Photographer

Have I said before how much I love photographing families?  Well, I’ll say it again.  I LOVE photographing families.  Especially families like the Bolstads.  With two very active little boys, this sessions was a riot!  And SO much fun.  And full of love.  And FULL of energy!!!!  All of that fun, energy & love clearly transferred into their images.  Couple that with the beauty of the Concord/Clayton area, and you get some really fun images!  Check them out!

I hope you enjoyed your images as much as I enjoyed taking them!
