Welcome to Bump & Beyond Portraits! For me, photography has always been about more than creating beautiful images—it’s about preserving the moments that become a family’s greatest treasures.

With more than 25 years of experience caring for infants, children, and families, I bring patience, understanding, and a gentle approach to every session. I especially love capturing maternity, newborns, children, and families, creating timeless portraits filled with genuine connection and emotion.

As a mother and grandmother, I know how quickly each chapter passes. Photography gives us a way to hold onto those beautiful moments long after they’ve changed.

Creating Bump & Beyond Portraits with my daughter, Sarah, allows me to combine my love for family, photography, and creativity into something truly meaningful.

Meet Sarah

At Bump & Beyond Portraits, we believe the most meaningful photographs are created through genuine connection. As a mother-and-daughter photography team, we bring two creative perspectives and a shared love for celebrating family.

From maternity and newborns to children, families, and meaningful milestones, we create timeless portraits in a relaxed, welcoming environment where everyone can feel comfortable and simply enjoy the moment.

Our backgrounds in childcare and working with children help us approach sessions with patience and understanding. We want families to feel cared for while we capture the genuine smiles, laughter, love, and little moments that tell their story.

We’re honored to preserve each beautiful chapter—from the bump to every chapter beyond.

Where Photography Meets Storytelling

Sharon’s love of photography and storytelling came together in Gramme Sherri’s Lost Pearl, inspiring a one-of-a-kind portrait adventure where childhood imagination becomes part of the experience.

The Pearl Adventure combines beautiful portraits with storytelling to create an experience designed to feel magical, meaningful, and completely unforgettable.

For me, photography is about preserving the love, laughter, and little moments that make every family unique.

As a mother of four with years of experience caring for and working with children, I understand that the best photographs often happen when families feel comfortable enough to simply be themselves. I bring patience, creativity, and a relaxed approach to every session.

I especially love capturing the genuine connections between parents and children—the smiles, cuddles, laughter, and personalities that make each family’s story their own.

Working alongside my mom makes Bump & Beyond Portraits even more special. Together, we get to create beautiful memories for other families while doing something we both love.
