Meet Your Photographer
OWNER & Photographer
Hey girl, I’m Sarah Ann Sargent!
I’m SO excited you are here! I’m married to my best friend Michael, bonus mom to his two precious girls, Ella & Eva, and dog mom to our Labradoodle, Ellie.
Most days you'll find me editing in my grandpa's old PJ's while drinking pour-over coffee with my latest Spotify playlist humming in the background. I’m a big fan of taking epic adventures, spending time with family, and helping others.
Lele & Beane are what my parents want to be called instead of grandma and grandpa. Cute right?
As your photographer, I’m your biggest fan and your fellow dreamer. My goal is for you to feel confident in front of the camera so you can connect with your loved ones in an authentic way.

The Real Backstory
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been a hopeless romantic and Disney-loving artist inspired by painting, photography, & music.
After graduating with a Bachelors in Fine Arts in 2012, I traveled to 11 countries in 11 months on a Christian mission trip called The World Race to live & work alongside the world’s poorest people. Our goal was to help others — but those I lived and worked alongside instead helped me more. I learned that when we are true to ourselves and walk in love, that’s when Jesus uses us the most.
After that trip, I worked for Adventures in Missions where I was an executive assistant, member care for our long-term missionaries, and created international logistics platforms. It was here that I learned my emotionally driven, artful self was actually quite in love with organization & logistics (and you need BOTH in a photographer!)
And now, I’ve been a bride, wife, and step-mom. I’ve been in your shoes and have learned first-hand how to plan, design, and execute a photo session, wedding day, and elopement so that each moment is cherished fully in a timely manner!
“All three life experiences above helped me design a business that’s focused on helping you feel beautiful and connected to your loved ones in a natural way.
I launched Lele & Beane in 2017 and it’s grown into something I can’t even fathom. Most days I pinch myself because I’m so honored to be where I’m at today. I’m running a life-giving job that I’m so thankful for with fabulous clients that allow me to capture love on a daily basis.
I hope that as you scroll down, you’ll see there’s so much more to this girl than pretty pictures. There’s love & grace wrapped up in every single service I offer, with a little drizzle of magic on top.”
