Hello and welcome to the SKP Blog! My name is Sara and I am a Wedding & Portrait Photographer based in Chicago/Northwest Indiana. I've been blogging both professionally and personally since 2005. I get to tell love stories, share my own family's happenings and tell you more about planning weddings! Thanks for coming by and I look forward to connecting with you!

We are in the thick of busy season right now and with that comes lots of preview blog posts! Michelle & AJ have been friends of mine for a few years and our paths crossed through the power of a small group at my church.  Their cute boys also attend the same school as my […]

I arrived a bit early to check out and find some great spots to photograph Kylee & Mike in and I came upon something that certainly wasn’t ordinary!  Almost at the exact time of our session beginning, they were closing off streets of Downtown Crown Point for the shooting of a new movie!  There were […]

It seems as if I am saying this often lately!  And every time…it is always TRUE! This family is quite used to being in front of my lens!  From our very first beach shoot (I think that was at least 8 years ago?!) until just this last weekend…I always just look through my lens at […]

When I arrived at the bridal getting ready suite, Melissa had just sat down.  Her hair and makeup had just been finished up and she looked so relaxed.  You could tell she was READY for this day! There was all sorts of excited hustle and bustle in the room.  Her closest girlfriends took turns helping […]

My most favorite clients are the ones that I get to photograph each year!  I get to know them all on a different level and continue the relationship long after their photos are delivered.  To me…there is NOTHING better than watching people, families and little ones grow. Last year, Little Camden wasn’t nearly as mobile […]

It always excites me to be able to show you all a new session from a family that is anything BUT new to me! If my memory serves me right, I believe that I first got to know these girls about 6 or 7 years ago and it all started on the beach…just like our […]

When she first contacted me it was still chilly outside…but thoughts of Summer were already in both of our minds! When she chose her location to be a “beach” session…I just KNEW that I was going going to adore this family. The beach is my happy place and I love it when it’s also the […]

As I write this, I am doing lots of sighing.  Because it doesn’t just take me looking at my own children to realize how quickly time is passing by me. This family has a special place in my heart.  Not only did they used to live just two doors down from me but those two […]

I have no excuse as to why it took me so long to post these!  When you are blessed enough to be able to do what you love as your full time job though…sometimes work photography gets priority over personal photography. The weather in March was not ideal for Ben’s session so we pushed it […]

When you first meet her Lisette, she seems like a quiet shy girl.  She was exactly that way when she first met Ian! Only for Ian…this drew him to her even more. He was home on leave for Thanksgiving and was hanging out with some friends for the evening. Lisette was at the same hangout […]
