hey there!
I’m Sarah, full-time online marketing coordinator by day and asleep by night! Just kidding, kind of (I mean, I am asleep by 10pm). By evening, I photograph joyful graduates (high school and college) and families! I’m based in the western suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, but don’t let distance be a factor in allowing me to serve you.
I’m an ISFJ with extroverted tendencies and an enneagram 7 so you know when you come to your session, you’ll have fun! I’m also a grace-covered human who seeks to glorify God in everything I do. Outside of photography, I enjoy serving in different ministries at church, hanging out with friends (whether it’s a ball game or a movie night), and music (I know how to play 5 instruments, just not at the same time)! While I love traveling, I’m a homebody at heart and plan nights in to balance the going out.
I don’t have kids, but I am a child of my parents and I know what it’s like to be on the receiving end of their legacy. It wasn’t until my mom passed away from cancer in 2020 when I realized it was worth all those years I’ve dragged my family into our yearly shoot with a tripod and remote because I have beautiful and timeless images of my mom that help me to remember her and her story.
Life is fleeting. Let’s make the most of it and preserve your legacy.

my clients...
Have said way too often that time goes by too fast. Capture this time in life, whether it’s your littles while they’re still little or a big accomplishment like graduating college.
