Meadows' Maternity Photo Shoot







These two were BEYOND ecstatic when they found  out they were expecting a baby!
              Every photo shoot needs a classic black and white (in my opinion!).








 They waited until she was just 3 weeks from her due date do venture out for this shoot!
                                                                        Precious.

                                

            For some reason we all got the giggles while trying to shoot this pose!

 







Trying some different camera angles.
                         I felt like this image captured the ultimate joy of pregnancy.

               Thank you Meadows Family for letting my share in your excitement!

About Me.


Hello. My name is Sarah Noles. My life is anything but boring! I married my high school crush, and together we have been blessed with 6 amazing, splendiferous children. My day is never dull and never the same. I am a stay-at-home mom, who also homeschools! I like to say that photography is my "Get Out of the House FREE" card. I love my life and wouldn’t change it for anything.

This may sound redundant, but I love photography because I love to look at pictures. My grandfather had incredible photo albums of our ancestors dating back many generations. My favorite memories are listening to him tell stories about each captured image. Well, I think I inherited that gene, just in "girly" form. I love to scrapbook, even though I don't really have the time to enjoy that pastime right now. In the beginning stages of scrapbooking, I quickly realized I needed more photos to make a fabulous page. So with that I embarked on my photography adventure. My supportive husband invested in my passion and upgraded me from a manual Minolta (that was older than me) to a Nikon digital SLR. I started carrying my "new baby" around with me to all kinds of events. I finally decided to come up with a name for my business. GRACIE Photography was officially named in 2006, after business picked up. So I have been asked, "Where does the GRACIE come from?" Well, I am so glad you asked. In one of my random moments of cleverness, I started playing around with the initials of our middle names...and what do you know...it spells GRACIE!!

My mission is to catch a glimpse of the authentic you. I enjoy all-things-family! Newborns, baby's first year, kids, seniors, proms, families (including our "furry" family members), and weddings all tickle my fancy. Sometimes memories of these times of life fade, but photographs seize these moments and help bring them back to life for generations to come. It would be my pleasure to capture the images that reflect your journey through life.
