They have a nice organized kids section with legos, puzzles, and more to keep little busy. They also display local school art projects etc. My child is always excited to see the class artwork on display. There are plenty of FREE resources here that people do not realize. Free kid & adult classes, events and more. Sometimes registration fills quickly but they also have waitlist. We visit all the libraries to take advantage of the chesterfield resources. You can also check out a state park bag here to use as a local guide & activities when in the park.

Melanie is amazing. She saved the day for my small, elegant beach elopement…read more I had been speaking to photographers for months and couldn't find anyone that I liked their work enough to hire who was available with less than a year's notice. In comes Melanie, who I happened to find by accident through a Yelp promo email. She had another shoot earlier in the day, but bc we were doing a later beach elopement ceremony and reception, she could do it! Signing the contract and working out all the details online and via email was easy. She sent me some paperwork to give her details and then we had a phone conversation to discuss and get to know one another. On the day of - she texted me, showed up exactly on time, and was a dream to work with. So friendly, so kind, so helpful. She went above and beyond for me and my family and was so easygoing. She posed us wonderfully and rolled with the punches when a few things didn't go as planned (it's a wedding, it's going to happen!). Absolutely professional. The photos we've been given so far as a preview are stunning and I can't wait to see the others. Everyone raved about how kind she was and how much they liked our photographer afterwards, and when we've sent a few photos, they've all been blown away. I feel lucky to have found Melanie, and her husband Chris, to shoot my day and would recommend her to anyone who asked me for any photos. If we need family portraits or special pics taken in the future, she's our girl!

They are very easy-going which is a huge plus for the busy season of wedding planning, and it is obvious they genuinely desire to get to know their clients and pour a lot of personal care into their work. I love the vibrancy of all their shots and how they bring the day to life in an intimate and realistic way. These never feel like stock photos, but the quality and creativity is on point and makes for a beautiful album that will be a treasure forever. Thank you Sparrows Photography!

When we first met the working couple, they had their adorable daughter with them. This really helped us loosen up and let our guards down. I am a really awkward person in front of the camera, but these two made me feel so much more confident. They helped ensure that we were both in good poses. Overall it felt like they absolutely knew what they were doing. As far as the pictures turned out, they were beautiful and colorful. I am most excited about a few shots they got of us laughing (because they were cracking jokes the entire session! So much fun!). These are the first of many pictures we will have together, but I am SO ecstatic that I can say it was such a wonderful experience. A+++ Would hire again.

From the initial inquiry to the final gallery delivery, the entire experience was flawless. Sarah is the definition of a professional. Her contract was straightforward and easy to understand, and she was incredibly responsive and easy to get a hold of throughout the entire planning process. On the wedding day itself, she was prompt and even arrived early, which immediately put my mind at ease during the morning rush. I'll be the first to admit that I am not "good" at having my picture taken... I usually feel awkward and stiff in front of a camera and my self esteem isn't the highest. However, Sarah made me feel instantly comfortable and relaxed. She has such a gift for direction and used unique, creative poses that felt natural rather than forced. My guests and wedding party haven't stopped talking about how much they absolutely loved her energy; she truly felt like a part of the family while still staying incredibly focused on her craft. I specifically asked for a focus on candids, and Sarah delivered beyond my wildest dreams. She captured the raw emotion and "in-between" moments perfectly, and every single edit was breathtakingly beautiful. Her pricing is amazing for the high level of talent she provides, and to top it all off, she delivered our full gallery ahead of schedule! I had actually hired Sarah previously for a friend's maternity shoot, and after seeing her work there and now at my wedding, I am a customer for life. We are already in talks about my own maternity photos this coming spring! If you want amazing value, exceptional photo quality, and a photographer who makes the day stress free, hire Sarah. I had tears looking through my gallery and I cannot believe how beautiful I look and how well she captured my day. Especially the moments I wasn't able to see for myself. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Since my fiancé isn't a fan of taking photos, I was a bit nervous about how the session would go, worrying it might feel awkward. However, Sarah immediately made us feel comfortable, and the session flowed seamlessly. I'll definitely be booking all my future photos with her. I shared my ideas and inspiration with her, and she brought them to life perfectly. I was a bit self-conscious about my weight and asked her to capture flattering angles--and she did an amazing job! I genuinely love how the photos turned out. If I could give her 10 stars, I would! Sarah is incredibly sweet, talented, and easy to work with. I highly, highly recommend her. I couldn't imagine getting better photos anywhere else. Thank you so so so much!
