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.

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 […]

Northwest Indiana Photography

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 […]

As I pulled up the drive to this families home, I realized how cool it was that they lived so close to the “city” and so close to everything they needed but yet their house is on a huge plot of land!  They have room to roam and they use the space to to just […]

Just as fast as the seasons change around here…families are growing in size AND maturity!  It’s been about about 2 years since our last session and boy have they grown up!  This time around Jamie had her family AND her mom & dad join us.  We spent a GORGEOUS Sunday exploring and just enjoying the […]

The weather has FINALLY broken! This past weekend, I spent some time on a sunshiny Saturday with one of my favorite repeat clients!  It’s such an honor to be continually be welcomed into a families world and trusted to tell their story. This time, we chose to do a lifestyle session.  We hung out at […]

If you all are like me, you are thinking…wasn’t she JUST born?! This little giggly girl, let me stick my lens in her face for quite a while and really wasn’t that bothered at all! She loves to be sung to and to show how much she loves it…she laughs and smiles 🙂 She even […]
