Nice to meet you! The owner and lead Photo-Novelist behind Sara Zarrella Photography—a pint-sized, (often caffeinated) burst of energy who loves my family, my clients, and the incredible stories I’m lucky enough to tell through my images.
I love it when couples contribute to their session by having fun and making it their own! Lesley and Stephen totally got into their Engagement Session … they brought all kinds of props to help make their portraits unique. A couple of items in their bag of tricks were a hula hoop and an umbrella, which turned out to be rather useful, as it actually began raining during their session, we made it work with a little help from our umbrella friends!!!
Their session took us all over the place! We made some portraits at Salve Regina in Newport, Rhode Island and then we decided to hit the streets of Newport and make good use of the surrounding beauty.
When I’m preparing for a session, I find lots of inspiration throught the media. The photograph below was inspired by the music video for Wicked Games by Chris Isaak:

In May 2021, we welcomed our baby boy Thomas Sheally to the family in a whirlwind. He arrived on the morning of May 20th at Kent Hospital at 8.6 lbs and 21.5” long via a c-section (as planned) at exactly 8am. What no one expected was his diaphragmatic herniation. Read Thomas' Story.
Nice to meet you! I’m a pint-sized (frequently caffeinated) fireball of energy, and building genuine connections is at the heart of everything I do. One of the most meaningful parts of what we do is watching our couples go from “I do” to starting families, then returning for newborn and family photography, and even branding sessions as their lives and businesses grow. Being part of every season of your story is truly the heart of what we do.
