• Welcome to my Blog!

    Thanks for stopping by! I am a portrait & wedding lifestyle/documentary photographer based in Columbia, SC (serving primarily SC, NC, and GA). My mission is to make you smile, laugh, cry, etc... by telling you a story in each picture I take. Here you will find my favorite shots from my most recent works AND posts on bits and pieces of my personal life which I hope is somewhat entertaining. To you grammar & english junkies... Please don't hate. I majored in nursing ;) . Please enjoy and feel free to stalk my blog! And don't forget to visit my website: www.swparkerphotography.com!

    The good, the bad, & the ugly: I am a huge nerd. I cannot function without my daily to do lists. My Blackberry has recently made me more OCD. My husband is my hero. Jesus is my savior. Running is my release. Going to the movies is fun. I love details. Chocolate is delicious. I constantly crave jelly beans. I laugh at my own lame jokes. My goofy dog makes me laugh. Buttons are creepy. I am an impulsive shopper-yikes. Birthdays are fantastic. I fall asleep at 11 pm no matter where I am and...I sometimes talk in my sleep. Sunflower fields are beautiful. Green is my favorite color. I am a nurse. and taking pictures of awesome people is my passion! My name is Sara. My husband is Wes. My dog is Oliver. That is my tiny family. We love life and each other. Welcome to our world.

    "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."-Jeremiah 29:11-13

Chris + Jennifer | Engagement

Another awesome couple I get to work with! Chris & Jennifer are getting married December 8th this year. We hung out in Camden for a few hours for the engagement shoot. Thanks, you two! I had a blast meeting you and can’t wait for the big day!

It was a cold spring day…

when I ventured out to take Connor’s one year portraits, but when you add the wind it was FREEZING! He was such a little trooper. Just a happy little man. Martha (Connor’s mom) said he loves the wind, so it ended up working well! Erik & Martha, it was so great to see you all again! Love watching your little guy grow up! Enjoy!
