Hello ~ and welcome to my site.

I call this place “Grace in Light and Shadow” because that’s been my experience of both my life and my photography.

Sometimes my best photos are taken quickly and without much thought – captured because the play of light and shadow caught my eye. Because using a flash often flattens an image, erasing shadows that would create interesting contrasts while adding shadows that define nothing, I prefer natural light. It creates warmth, depth, and deeper dimensions as well as mystery and a sense of invitation.

Just so, I appreciate the shadows that have appeared in my life. That negative space on the canvas of my life gives depth and dimension to the joyful and happy times because the shadows have inspired compassion and understanding for others and for me.

And so I hope to fill this website with favorite photos as well as blog entries that give me a creative outlet for witnessing my life – an experience of grace in light and shadow.

Thank you for meeting me here. I hope the time you spend here blesses your life.

With love,
Sarah Elizabeth
