Hello! My name is Sarah Elizabeth Huff and I (obviously) run Sarah Elizabeth Photography. We may or may not be complete strangers so let me tell you a bit about myself! 

I am 18 years old, currently working to finish high school in May 2014.  After that I plan to attend Parkland college and the University of Illinois through the Parkland Pathways to U of I program, in order to become an elementary school teacher.  I currently have a second job, next to being a photographer, as a sales associate at Forever 21.  When I am not working on photography, I love to listen to music.  If there is one thing that can really get a conversation started with me, it is music.  Some of my favorite bands are Mumford & Sons, Fleet Foxes,  Bon Iver, Florence + The Machine, Lana Del Rey, and Relient K.  I do enjoy my coffee, maybe a bit too much, as well as tea. I love quotes and quoting things. You will find quotes all over my site, there is just something fantastic with the feeling when you find a good quote. 

Some background on my photography:

I started getting involved in photography around my freshman year of high school, so about 4 years ago.  I started off just like anyone else, just a girl with a camera, taking pictures of everything (literally everything) I found interesting.  As the years went by, my skills progessed and I found people asking for photoshoots.  After a while I realized that I could go pretty far in this if I wanted to, I even considered doing photography as a career but at some point I realized something: I do not want photography to become a job.  Photography is something I do because I love to create art in photo's.  I love to help someone realize truly how beautiful they are.  I love capturing those true smiles and laughter in photo's.  I love when a person comes for a photoshoot that they plan to be absolutely perfect and have their best fake smile on and I capture the moments when they are truly having fun and laughing, that's the beauty of it.  This whole experience has taught me to be myself and I don't want to lose that, I don't want to lose any of this because it becomes stressful as a job.  Right now, I am happy to do a photoshoot here and there and bigger jobs, such as weddings, every now and again.  Photography has made me a part of who I am today, and I will be forever changed because of it.
