November Updates!

Hey friends! 

I'm a fantastic photographer, but I'm a terrible blogger. 

Some of my December & January goals are to overhaul this website and do some much needing updating to the portfolios, galleries, and this section - but for now, I'm editing into the wee hours and planning beautiful shoots, and writing my thesis - all while holding an old, grumpy cat on my lap. 

I have SO MUCH to show you guys, and I'm really excited about all of it - you can see some of it on my Facebook page and my Instagram, which I update a lot more frequently!

That's when the rains came

Um, hello rain! This weekend has been so cozy for me, holed away in my little office, editing, working on projects, and realizing I haven't watered my windowsill cacti for like a month. I hope you all have been staying dry, and safe, with piles of books and tea (maybe some of New Moon Tea Co's?) 

Here's an image from a recent shoot I did for Kilnhouse Studio, featuring some of my new mugs from her. The Swan one is my new all time fav. 

I've done a few updates around the site: added a new gallery, and looked at my submission contact form. It *seems* to be working, and tests are going through - but I've added a little blurb there just in case to let people know that I answer everything in 48 hours. I'm also looking into a contact form like the one I had on my old Wordpress site eventually - it logged all the entries in two places, so if I didn't receive an email I knew right away. Hopefully I can find something similar to SquareSpace!

Stay cozy, friends!

PS: If you're looking for a few cozy books to read during this storm, might I suggest: Watership Down, The October Daye series by Seanan Mcguire, or Stephen King's "It"?

Oh hey! It's a website!

So funny thing, I decided I would quickly activate a new Wordpress theme to check things out - did so, my site imploded, and then I couldn't go back to my old site. Then I decided to suddenly accidentally delete everything, and here is the result. FRESH STARTS, AMIRITE?!

This is my small disclaimer to say that things are definitely still coming together! If you are having any troubles looking at any sections of the site, I would really appreciate a heads up - you can reach me via the contact page, or at sarah[at]sarahsovereign.com. Thanks friends!
