Sarah is drawn to narratives that highlight the often overlooked complexities of the human experience and to characters trapped between worlds. She is energized by working with directors to develop a visual language driven by emotional intention and composed of motifs that form the foundation of a cohesive narrative.

Sarah’s award-winning cinematography portfolio spans 15 years and comprises commercials, music videos, documentaries, and narratives. In March of 2025 she premiered her feature MAGIC HOUR at SXSW to critical acclaim with The Hollywood Reporter calling Sarah’s cinematography “dazzling” and IndieWire calling the film “just gorgeous.” This was her second year in a row at the renowned festival following the premiere of her Vimeo Staff Pick feminist revenge thriller TIGHT.

In 2025 she has also premiered the anti-romcom SWEET TALKIN' GUY at the Sundance Film Festival, the very short drama SAFE at Slamdance Film Festival, and the coming-of-age story THERE'S A DEVIL INSIDE ME at the DGA Theater for AFI's DWW+ showcase. 

Also entering the festival circuit is the thriller/drama STITCHES, directed by Victoria Frings and starring Wren Schmidt and Katy Wright-Mead, as well as CHIPS AND CRACKERS, a quirky comedy directed by Michael Gabriele and starring Clayton Ferris and Chelsea London Lloyd.

Over the summer of ‘24 Sarah wrapped principal photography on the adventure dramedy feature, SONG OF THE BIGFOOT, directed by Brent Bishop and starring Rhys Darby, Tre Hale, Baron Vaughn, Vivian Bang, and Brenda Strong. She followed this up with the coming of age romance film set in Bangor, Maine - THEIR TOWN, directed by Katie Aselton and starring Ora Duplass and Chosen Jacobs.

Sarah was nominated for best cinematography at Midwest Film Festival’s ‘Best of the Midwest 2024’ for her coming of age feature film SCREAMS FROM THE TOWER. She was also nominated two years in a row (‘23 & ‘24) for Best Cinematography at the Dark Red Film Festival for her work on the films BURY YOUR FISH and CHISPA.

Aside from her versatile visual language, showcased in her varied portfolio, Sarah is also known for her collaborative nature, leadership skills, and an infectious enthusiasm for the craft. When she’s not on set she enjoys sharing her knowledge through workshops, podcasts, and industry panels. She has been invited to share her knowledge on industry panels at the ASC Clubhouse, Sundance Film Festival, NAB NY, and more.
