Hey, I’m Sarah! I’ve been photographing seniors for 15+ years, after creating the photography business of my dreams, I now help senior photographers do the same.
When I’m not photographing seniors around southwest Wisconsin,northwest Illinois or central Iowa, I’m helping senior photographers stand out in a sea of senior photographers.
Building a strong portfolio that stands out, developing a consistent style that attracts the ideal client and mastering post production is what feeds my soul, as is teaching other photographers to do the same.
Whether you are here to book a session or gain inspiration and tips to stand out in the senior photography industry, I can’t wait to work with you!
