Level up.
Are you just starting out with your photography or creative business or looking to take things to the next level? Either way, you and your biz are worth the time and investment. Wherever you may need help within your creative business, I'll be your go-to gal.
let's do this thing.
I get it - the HUSTLE is real!
Mastering all the things photo from the programs, products, client workflows , BTS management can sometimes feel like too much. I'm that photographer that wants you to fully embrace your true self when in front of my camera – but you won't be on your own. I'm here to guide you every step of the way – whether you need help with workflow, how to pose, or behind the scenes... I've got you!

There are a few ways we can work together...
Need a bit of a deeper dive or just even watch someone do their process?! I get it! This full day mentoring session at my studio in Bourbonnais, Illinois will guide you from start to finish in your biz. Our time together will show you how I work with clients from the moment they inquire to the time their final products are delivered.
If desired, our time together can include a short styled shoot with a senior or branding client. You will get to see what I do to make the magic happen – everything from posing, lighting, making clients relax, to culling, image selection, editing, client workflow, etc.
Our time together can be tailored to your needs – if it is the behind the scenes business stuff that you are questioning, leave out the shooting time!

HERE's WHY YOU CAN TRUST ME:
You're in good hands with Sarah Jane.
Gosh, there has never been a time in my life that I haven't loved learning, talking or creating art. It brings me joy but also keeps me centered! Crazy to say that, yes, I actually went to college for a BFA in Photography! I spent four years deep in photo chemicals and loved every second. Since graduating in 2003, I have trained myself in all that is digital photography and the constant changing media and business world. Post UD (GO Dayton Flyers) I wasn't quite done learning yet... Went back to school to get my Masters in Art Education and taught high school Art Ed for 10 years – including photography, of course!
So it is really hard to say where my photography journey, "started," the art world has always been a part of my life. SJP opened in 2015, I grew this business while raising three little ones at home, quite the adventure. Opened a store front location in 2021 and am thrilled to have a space of my own! Seriously, I could pinch myself on a daily that I get to call this gig, my job.
I would be lying to say that the journey was always a walk in the park – so not true. I have learned that this work life balance thing IS A THING and it's HUGE for me to incorporate balance, play and adventure into my coaching goals for you, too.
