Meet Your Photographer

Hi! I'm Sarah. 

I’m a Grand Rapids, Minnesota girl and have been photographing people in our community since 2011. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of capturing everything from growing families, babies, seniors, and weddings to sporting events, professional headshots, and some of life’s biggest celebrations.

3 Months Sun Photography is proudly woman-owned and operated, and I’m incredibly grateful to have built a business that has served this community for more than 15 years. My goal is to make every person who walks through my doors feel comfortable, welcomed, and genuinely happy they came.

To me, photography is more than simply taking a pretty picture. It's about creating images that show real personalities, genuine connections, and the moments people will want to remember years from now.
I specialize in professional lighting and take pride in creating consistently beautiful images, whether we’re working inside my studio, outdoors around the Grand Rapids area, or traveling somewhere new! 
Outside of photography, I’m a wife, a mom, an animal lover, and someone who has developed a newfound love for fitness. I especially enjoy photographing races, 5Ks, and other events that celebrate people doing things they once may not have believed they could do.

My Mothers death gave me an entirely new perspective on the importance of photographs. I've always know they were important but it wasn't until she died it really hit me. It reminded me not to wait until everything feels perfect to step in front of the camera, because time passes quickly and we aren’t guaranteed another opportunity. The photos you take today may someday become some of the most meaningful things you own, not only for you, but for the people who love you. Take the pictures, even if you don’t feel completely ready. Someday, you’ll be grateful you did.  I know I am. I would do anything to have one more opportunity to have photos taken of her and with her again.

A Few Fun Things About Me

*I was born in Colorado.

* I moved to Grand Rapids in 1st grade.

* I’m a wife, a maternal mother to a grown daughter,  and a stepmom to two boys.
*I am an animal lover. I have 3 cats - Tally, Sheeba Hoolihan-Mahoney AKA Baby Cat, and Minnow, the Siamese kitten who I like to call Stinky..because well she stinks. All of which have been adopted. I also have my late Mothers 14 year old Yorkie , Lily.

* I’ve developed a genuine love for going to the gym and have been actively going 3-4x a week for just about 3 years now.

* I’ve been alcohol-free since September 4, 2025—and will openly talk about alcohol addiction and how sobriety has changed my life. I'm an open book and hope that my journey will help in someone else's,

* I’m happiest when I’m photographing something amazing, hanging out with friends and family, motorcycling with my Husband, snuggling up on the couch with my animals, and eating good food.

*I still genuinely get excited and honored when I know my clients choose to work with me. Especially because the photography industry is growing and more and more talented artists are showing up.
