Hi, I’m Sara-Anne Caudle — photographer, artist, and the heart behind Sara-Anne Photography and Sara-Anne Studios.

I’m a wife to my husband Chris (my steady, faithful behind-the-scenes partner), a proud mama to two grown kids (Micah and Mak), and a pup-mom to a very loved crew of dogs who keep life entertaining. I’ve always carried a deep love for people, beauty, and meaningful stories — the kind you can feel, not just see.

Creativity has been woven into my life for as long as I can remember. From selling watercolors as a middle-school girl to building a thriving photography business, I’ve learned this truth: creating is more than making something pretty — it’s a way of bringing joy, healing, and connection into the world. I believe we’re all designed by a Creator, and creativity is one of the ways we reflect Him.

Today, I’m blessed to serve families and seniors through luxury, relationship-driven portrait photography, specializing in relaxed, elevated beach sessions along the North Carolina coast — including Holden Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Sunset Beach, Oak Island, Bald Head Island, and the Wilmington beaches, and beyond. You can see more of my work over at Sara-AnnePhotography.com

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll most likely find me in my other creative happy places: throwing pottery, painting watercolors, teaching creative workshops, or creating my meaningful Broken Pieces jewelry — one-of-a-kind wearable reminders that God can create beauty from what feels broken.

I love quaint coffee shops, slow mornings, good food (especially anything on a charcuterie board), and time with the people I love most. At the core of everything I do — photography, pottery, painting, mentoring — is one mission:

to love people well, to make beauty with purpose, and to leave a legacy that points back to hope.
