A south dakota traveling portrait photographer
hi friend
I'm Sayer
I truly enjoy the variety of scenery our state has to offer, which ultimately led to God calling me to be a traveling photographer.
Favorite South Dakota Locations: The Black Hills (home), Pierre, Watertown, Sioux Falls, Hill City & Aberdeen.
I can't wait to celebrate you!

losing both my parents only deepened my love for capturing moments before you realize these photos are all you have to remember life's special memories
Fun Facts!
I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed by the process of having professional photos taken. As the craziness of life sets in, it's common to realize a little too late that you’ve missed your chance at capturing those special moments. I have perfected an amazing experience that will leave you with the most beautiful images.
My goal is for my moms + brides to never feel overwhelmed about photos. I have an online Client Lounge with resources for outfits, hair and makeup, other wedding vendors, tips + tricks, and so much more!
For all the ladies here who desire beautiful images and a stress-free experience, you are in the right place! I can't wait to celebrate you!
Professional photos can be fun!
