Hi, I'm Sara. I am a super fun portrait, branding and event photographer in the Chicago suburbs. I believe photos should be gorgeous, but natural! I offer on-location photography in Palatine and the surrounding suburbs, but also love in-home sessions. Every photo session with me will be fun, memorable, and showcase you and your unique story.
I am currently booking outdoor and in-home family, senior, and personal branding sessions, as well as events and corporate shoots in Palatine and the surrounding Northwest Chicago suburbs. Find out more about me here.

Love this family! ❤️
It has been such a blessing for one of my favorite families to move to Vernon Hills - so I can find all these fun new locations! We were so lucky to have the most gorgeous fall color, and I cannot wait to deliver their big beautiful gallery!

Colorful senior session!
The last time I photographed this client was five years ago, and it was so much fun to see her grown into the amazing senior she is today! I wish her the best year ❤️

This couple! 😍
I was so honored to capture these new friends in our gorgeous downtown area. We had the best time walking around and using all of the wonderful backdrops here. I had to include a fun photo bomb by the cutest dog! Wish I had gotten the owner’s info so I could share the pictures 📷
