About Sarah

Sarah Huntington is an award-winning photographer recognized throughout the Northern Virginia–Washington, D.C. area for her fine art photography and timeless black-and-white portraits. A graduate of the Corcoran School of Art, Sarah was voted “Best Photographer in Loudoun County” for 10 years by Leesburg Today readers. Born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina, she taps her southern roots and sense of history to inform her work, which, she says, is inspired by “elegance, simplicity, and the human spirit.”

Sarah’s love of documentary photography is evident in the book she published with writer Gale Waldron. In Their Own Words: Recollections of an Earlier Loudoun captures grocers, doctors, storekeepers, foxhunters, bankers, community volunteers, and other local folk in their milieu. Author John Rolfe Gardiner praised her work, writing, “Their stories and faces reveal lives fully-lived and crows feet well-earned; all of them captured here in the innocence of their nostalgia by portrait photographer Sarah Huntington…”

In addition to photography, Sarah produces video documentaries as a partner in The Lincoln Studios. Among them are “Nichols: The Last Hardware Store”—Purcellville’s iconic mercantile—and “Goose Creek,” which took the grand prize in the Virginia Environmental Film Festival.

A long-time resident of the Quaker village of Lincoln and later Fauquier’s Paris, Huntington now shoots on location and in her studio in nearby Winchester.
