Hi there, I am Sarah Boccolucci {Baa-coal-loo-chi}.
Thanks for visiting my site and getting to know me a little more. My husband and I have four amazing children and live on a small farm in Lyons, Colorado.
I became a doula in 2009 with the goal of wanting to help educate families on how have an empowering birth and get partners involved in the birth process. I received my training through toLabor in 2009 and 2013. I became a bereavement doula in 2015.
Photography provides me a way to show the world what I find beautiful, unique and important. I specialize in maternity, birth and newborn photography for my client work because of the significance that time in your life holds. It is both powerful and fleeting. I allow my personal work to take me where it needs to and love seeing how it influences my client work. You will often see my personal work on my Instagram and Facebook accounts.
I shoot mainly with a Canon 5d Mark iii and Sony A6300, and a 35 mm lens.
I love my family more that words can ever describe, caramel popcorn, knitting and spinning wool (Ravelry Profile Here), audio books, and animals.
