About Us

AT SARAH JANE PHOTOGRAPHY YOU ARE OUR FOCUS!
But, I suppose (since you clicked this page), you want to know a little bit about the lady behind the lens.

First, let's talk about me as a photographer... I'm a classically trained professional photographer with a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Central Missouri in portrait and wedding photography. I've been a freelance photographer since 2004. My husband's career brought us to Decatur, Illinois in the summer of 2010 and just this past summer of 2021 we took a new leap and moved back home to Jefferson City, Missouri. (So, YES, I currently serve BOTH central IL and MO). It was an adventure a decade ago to restart my business in a new state and now it's an even bigger adventure to become a dual-state family, but it's certainly a fun one!!

I've been honored to work in a variety of genres in this industry creating images of everything from farm equipment to newborns to feathers for fly fishing catalogs! But my real love for photography is in creating personal portraits for my client's homes. There's just something about walking past a portrait of you and your family at your happiest that can fix even the worst of days.

We wanted a look at our roof to check for possible hail damage. Not only did they come out on time, communicate when they'd arrive and take a thorough look, they explained what they were looking for, what they saw and why they did not think we needed any roofing work done. While we didn't need work this time, they'll be our first call if we ever do because of the first experience! "
