We are Sarah + Sotero. We've journeyed around the sun 11 times together. We met at a highschool party in our friends garage, where I (Sarah) did my first beer bong. Needless to say I use to be good at chugging because it clearly caught Sotero's eyes. Pretty romantic. He asked me to be his girlfriend on May 10th, 2007, and since then we've gotten to watched each other grow through so many beautiful phases. We have felt the heaviest weight of the world, and the glory of it too. We don't take love lightly, nor take this for granted. Our party days, slowly turned into work days, making dinner, and watching tv, editing.. and trying to build a life we are proud of. Don't get me wrong, we can still down a few beers , glasses of  red wine and karaoke the night away... but those nights have become a bit sparse since hangovers are a real thing these days.

​

I guess I should mention Sotero runs a full time car dealership, and (GOD BLESS HIM) still finds the time to help me with this beautiful creative journey of mine. He is the technical one, updated on all the gear, and can rebuild a computer from scratch. He flies the drones, and is the human you want to ask how to fix your car, computer, netflix password, etc. He's taught me a lot about the world, and continues to open my eyes every day. A lot of grandmas have said to him that he has "kind eyes". I believe them, because he also has a kind soul.

​

I did not get the technologically inclined brain, but hallelujah, I got the creative eye and the intense burning need to document every moment (special or not) in my own life. I was licensed, and worked at an insurance agency from 9-5 and then took the leap of faith about 2 years ago. I learned that in the quiet, mundane, frustrating moments even of life...if we capture those teeny insignificant seeming glimpses, one day, they will be our most treasured. I lost my dad this year, and although I have always felt a calling to encapsulate all of my memories, this year it got real.It got really hard. I noticed that it is the smaller moments, the ones that are ours, not made up or staged... just us that move me. I smile and often cry every single time I watch a video of my dad just rocking in his lazy boy. I'll never get to see that in real life again, so to me... these videos are little pieces of heaven, they keep him so vivid in my mind.

​

Our only goal is to make you feel something. The tears and laughs. The times that make us melt to our core, and no matter where we are in the world we feel home. We want to freeze time for you, because while our memories fade, our films and photos live on for generations. I wish more than anything I could watch a wedding film of my grandma and grandpas magical day, and that wish motivates me every day to keep going and keep capturing your moments. They are so important.
