Branding & Lifestyle Photography: The Denver Photo Collective

When Paige of Paige Forden Photography e-approached me about a branding and lifestyle photography session for her business, there was a lure about her that made me so excited for this photoshoot. Maybe it was the words she chose to describe what she was looking for in this particular shoot and how she explained mine. […]

Barcelona, Spain Destination Wedding: Silvina & Jeff

Born and raised in Argentina, the lure of Barcelona, Spain seemed to be the perfect location for Silvina to marry the man of her dreams. A peek at this city of vigor, and you’ll walk away feeling full. Spain carries a vibrancy that is unparalleled—the people, food, colors, architecture, la siesta’s y la fiesta’s are […]

Three Ways Motherhood Taught Me to be a Better Photographer

All images captured by Sara Lynn Photography Fifteen months ago, baby June came into our lives and changed the world—my perspective, my work, and everything I knew of it. I looked into the lens and saw more than what previously met my eye. June’s existence continues to gift me with more knowledge, appreciation, and truth […]

Spain From the Eyes of a Photographer

    I recently returned from a magical trip to Spain. The main purpose of this trip was to document a breathtaking wedding in Barcelona for one of my darling couples, which I promise to share with you very soon. But of course, my wandering and exploratory heart dragged my mom and baby along so […]

Denver Engagement Session: Pratistha + Sushan

Ever since I became a wedding + engagement photographer I had always dreamed of photographing a couple with a snow-filled backdrop. And to be completely honest, when we were living in California trying to figure out where to move and settle to, Colorado was a top contender for me partly because of my winter wonderland […]

Photography 101: Working with Manual Exposure on Your DSLR

I still remember the first time I ever picked up a DSLR.  I panicked.  I couldn’t understand why in the age of drones, self-parking cars, iphone 4’s, and the ipad, we were still using bulky camera’s encrypted with numbers, acronyms, and weird symbols.  I mean…why.  Fast-forward seven years later.  Eazy peazy, my friends.  I’ve gotten […]

Valentine’s Day Special: An Interview With a Photographer’s Husband

     Let’s be real. I wouldn’t be here typing these words right now if it weren’t for Sean. I had always dreamed of being an artist but never dared to go anywhere beyond the idea of it. That is, until everything seemed to be pointing me in that direction . And I mean everything. […]

Engagement Photography: What’s in My Bag?

I remember my first engagement photography session like it was yesterday. Palms were sweaty, knees weak, arms were heavy (Eminem anyone?). But seriously, arms were so heavy. I packed my cheap unreasonably-heavy camera bag until it was bursting at the seams. It was about half my size. I realized the silliness of it all by […]

Happy Birthday, Sean

  Dear Sean, I’m sure the first two words in this post made you cringe a bit but trust me, I’ll make my point without embarrassing you too much.  If I have only a few days out of the year where public virtual ogling is reasonably acceptable, then thanks.  I’m going to take it. When […]

2018: Year in Review + 2019: The Year Ahead

    Exactly one year ago, I sat down to wrap up my thoughts from the previous year and wrote out plans for the new one. Revisiting this blog took me back to exactly what I had been feeling. What I didn’t realize then, that I of course know now, is that there is no […]
