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.
