Founder of Photography Business Institute

Hi, I’m Sarah, I’m the momma-in-chief of 3 kiddos, a Central Illinois local (yes, I live in the middle of a cornfield), and the founder of the Photography Business Institute.

After working as a marketing professional for 9 years and climbing the corporate ladder, I burned out. I had newborn twins (busy mamas, I see you!). And I decided something had to give if I wanted to spend more time with my young family…

I always loved photography and thought “What if I could make money as a photographer?”

I opened my first photography business just 2 weeks BEFORE September 11 when my twins were not even a year old–-and it was a BUMPY road.

I wasn’t formally trained in photography (I had an MBA!)

I had ZERO professional experience.

I didn’t have fancy gear.

All I had was passion and the drive to make extra income and be more present with my family.

After making every mistake in the book and fixing my broken, hot mess of a business, the Professional Photographers of America named me one of THE most profitable photographers in the United States.

I’ve managed to use my camera to get through debt, the housing market crash, the pandemic, and putting 3 kids through school… and so can YOU!

Today, I’m still photographing portraits in the cornfields of Illinois—and since my kids are now grown, I’m able to spend my free time teaching parents, like you, through coaching I do at the Photography Business Institute.

Here we show you what works and what doesn’t when it comes to balancing family life with running a PROFITABLE photography business AND giving back to our communities.

Hop into this one-time-only FREE training and let me show you how you can start your photography side hustle, even if you don’t have formal training, experience or fancy gear.

All you need is a little creativity + your camera.
