I’m Sarah Aldridge, a fine art motherhood photographer based in Charleston, SC. Most of my days are spent photographing families here at home, but my work takes me across the Carolinas and beyond.
For the Moments You’re In
It’s Saturday morning. The sun is spilling through the windows, coffee in hand, kids laughing somewhere down the hall. You’re in your element. Nothing posed, nothing planned, just life unfolding. These are the memories that slip by quietly, but in the end, mean everything.
When I lift my camera, I don’t just see what’s happening, I see what it means. The way your toddler leans into you without even thinking. The way your husband looks at you when you don’t notice. The way light catches on your hair or how joy softens your whole face when you laugh.
My job isn’t to pose you into someone else’s version of beautiful. It’s to show you what’s already there. To help you see yourself the way your family sees you, the way I see you.
Too often, you’re the one behind the camera, capturing everyone else’s story but forgetting you’re part of it too. I want to change that. I want you to have photographs that remind you: you’re in these memories, you’re the heart of them, and you are enough exactly as you are.
That’s the story I want to tell, your story, exactly as it feels.
I’m So Happy You’re Here
