To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch… to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. this is to have succeeded!
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
This quote sums up Sarah Cramer. A few weeks ago I met Sarah at her studio in downtown, Charlottesville. Sarah is one of the photographer’s for an exhibition featuring women in the arts & I was thrilled to be part of this group. Sarah truly loves what she does…not only is she a photographer, but she is a giver & supporter…she is an optimist and it is nearly impossible to be in a negative mood around this girl. Like the quote says, Sarah easily has earned the appreciation of all those around her & she certainly makes this world a better place. She finds the best in others and looks for & appreciates beauty in everything that she sees. Sarah has made countless people “breath easier” and she has certainly succeeded! I’ve included a photo from our shoot together below & Take a look at her website here.
