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!

‘Tis the Season for FAMILIES at SKP!  The Fall season is my absolute FAVORITE to shoot in!  Why?  Because of the absolutely GORGEOUS light.  It’s golden and warm… and I can’t get enough! The Wondaal family session was no exception!  In fact, this evening in particular was honestly the most beautiful light I have shot in […]

With the modern technology that we have nowadays (that makes me sound REALLY old!), you can sometimes start to get to “know” people before you ever meet them in person.  It is a crazy world we live in!  But when I showed up to this family session, I felt like because of Facebook…I already knew […]

The entire Fezler family are no strangers to having my camera in their face!  Since Logan (the almost FIVE year old!) was a newborn, I have gotten the chance to capture their family moments!  Even little Tyler is already a pro in front of the camera and he has only been photographed by me one […]

Every couple that books their wedding me always gets a complimentary engagement session.  ALWAYS!  Why you say?  Because it’s just too important to spend some time together to get to know each better and have a bit of a “dress rehearsal” before the big day arrives!  I feel that is so important that I give […]

Ahhhh…this family is just so laid back and perfect for a session just like this one! Amy wanted to have a family session done but she wanted to include her four legged family this time around!  And of course, the session was set for one of those BEAUTIFUL days we have been having most recently. […]

As I opened up Joe’s email and read the surprise that he wanted to give Emily, I was grinning ear to ear.  This family has a special corner of my heart! Both Henry and Ben are former students of mine (when I taught Pre K) and I have continued to be able to watch them […]

When I met up with Brenna and her mama, I was taken aback!  It had been over 4 years since I photographed their family session on the beach and she had changed!  Like a LOT!  All grown up and ready to capture her last year of high school. I am so excited to introduce you […]

The Busdeker’s hold a new record in the SK Photography Record Books!  Their family session had to be rescheduled THREE times before we were able to make it all come together.  For the most part, this Summer was a great weather Summer and I had to do little very little rescheduling of photo sessions.  This […]

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 […]
