Hello! I’m Sarah and I’m a freelance video and photo journalist based in Philadelphia.

I have an insatiable hunger to document where our food comes from. It’s my feeling that food and agriculture is the best vehicle for visualizing our more pressing issues (climate, health, politics.. the list goes on and on).

I reserve the right to change my mind, but I could chase this story for the rest of my life and still feel like there’s more to see. So far, my curiosity has led me to experimental greenhouses, Michelin star kitchens, sprawling commercial farms and most recently a chocolate factory.

This storytelling motivated me to take a year-long road trip across rural America in my camper van. When I returned home, I spent a year eating my way through Philly as the Creative Director for a Philly restaurant group.

Before all that, the visual spectacle of American politics first brought me to Washington, where I chased that story for many years. While covering the White House and Capitol Hill, I documented impeachments, protests, elections, and traveled with the president across the country.

My work has been commissioned most often by The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Getty Images, Reuters, Bloomberg, and CNN.

If given the chance, I’ll talk your ears off about all things boondocking, giant trees & tufting.
