Meet Sarah, the momma-in-chief of three kiddos, a Central Illinois local, and the visionary founder of the Photography Business Institute. After a 9-year corporate marketing stint, Sarah hit burnout, realizing a change was needed for her young family. From juggling newborn twins to navigating financial challenges, Sarah triumphed, despite launching her photography business just weeks before September 11. Today, as one of the most profitable photographers in the U.S., she devotes her time to sharing her knowledge and experiences (the good, the bad, and the ugly!) at the Photography Business Institute and helping photographers of all experience levels. Beyond photography, the Institute is a force for good, empowering students to uplift communities. With guided support, from basics to advanced strategies, and a supportive community, PBI fosters a safe space for open learning and growth.
