ON ME:

Hi, my name is Sarah. I don't just teach the boutique business model, I still actively use it every day in my own photography business!

This stuff is not window dressing or an outdated theory. This is real life. 24 years, a New York Times bestselling book and thousands of clients later, you could say I know my way around photography studios (a 12,000 square foot studio with its own volleyball court, in fact! )

I'm in a cornfield in central Illinois. If I can do it, you can too!

After working as a marketing director at a large regional advertising agency and in marketing at Coca-Cola Enterprises, I decided something had to give if I wanted to spend more time with my young family. I opened my first photography studio 2 weeks before 9/11, as the economy was crashing, with 3 kids under 3 (busy moms, I see you). I quickly discovered that my new photography business was consuming all of my time and mental energy (sound familiar?). I was on the verge of burnout, not knowing how to make a real profit using a broken business model where I was giving it my all.

It wasn't until I married my marketing skills with my talent for photography that everything changed.

By turning my work into heirloom quality wall art, my clients will cherish them forever.

I got my life back and showed up to work every day as the best version of myself. And guess what? My dream clients and my family have both benefited.

Now I serve hundreds of my own clients and teach students like you how to market your business and attract dream clients who happily invest thousands of dollars for your custom artwork (wall art, books, albums , etc.).

If I can do it from my studio in the middle of a cornfield in central Illinois, you can do it anywhere.

And the best part is, you don't even need a studio.

Whether you're looking to grow your photography business full-time or just want to make good money part-time so you can contribute financially to your family and be your best self, we have something for you.
