Sarah is currently assisting Lauri McKinnon of Mode LaVan Photography with weddings, and is excited to gain more knowledge and experience through this. She currently does not normally do weddings on her own as Creative Force Photography except in very specific circumstances.

On that note...
I have been busy some weekends now with assisting Lauri McKinnon of Mode LaVan Photography with weddings. This has been a great learning experience for me. I am gaining a lot of great images for my portfolio because of it. I am learning more about posing, time management and lighting, as well as always pushing my creative mind for ideas. And I am discovering more and more just how much work they are, especially as a solo photographer. I love seeing all the different ceremonies, couples, details, etc... but weddings are a huge commitment for me. I will definitely be restricting the amount of weddings I do on my own. Please feel free to look at Mode LaVan (I should be up on their website soon) and inquire about using them. I love working with Lauri and am excited for when she gets her studio, as then I can rent it for sessions if people wish to have an indoor studio session, and I can finally learn more about studio lighting. In specific circumstances I may be able to rent some of her studio backdrops and lights to set up on location. There would be an extra charge for this, of $20, for the rental of the equipment.
