Hi there! I’m Sarah Best .

I am a Family & Newborn Lifestyle Film Photographer in love with bright and beautiful photographs, based in Indianapolis, Indiana.

I’m honored to have documented life’s sweetest seasons for families for the past 20 years.

Kind Words from one of Sarah’s Mentees

“Throughout my film photography journey, I have had quite a lot of trial and error which was beneficial for learning but also left me with some outstanding questions. I got to the point with film where I felt fairly confident but knew I had a few areas that I wanted to take from good to great.  Finding a mentor to answer my questions and accelerate my learning process was a priority for me and I couldn't think of anyone better than Sarah! Sarah has photographed our family 3 times now and her beautiful photographs and knowledge of film speak for themselves, she was the perfect fit!
Before our mentorship, Sarah asked me what I wanted to focus on and what I hoped to get out of the mentor session. She came prepared with examples and visuals to help me fully understand the concepts and patiently answered all of my questions. 
It was my goal to have a deeper understanding of metering film in all different lighting situations and thanks to Sarah, I left our mentorship feeling confident and ready to take on my next session! I implemented what I learned with Sarah at my next engagement session and was very happy with my scans and the results.
If I could encourage any business owner who is feeling stuck in a certain area of their business, it would be to consider a mentorship! It is worth the investment of your time and money to learn from someone who has walked the road before you. By doing so, your mistakes will be few and your successes will be great! Thank you, Sarah!”
