I started Sarah Renee Studios in 2010. By 2016, I had quit my day job to go all in, just me, my camera, and a whole lot of heart. It was everything I had worked toward, and for a while, it felt like it.
Then 2018 happened. I became a mom, and everything shifted. Suddenly, I was trying to be present for a tiny human, show up for my clients, keep the business running, and somewhere in the middle of all of it, the things that actually kept the engine going started to fall apart. The sneak previews stopped. My Instagram went quiet. Bookings slowed. And that fire I had, the one that made me quit my job and bet on myself, started to flicker.
So I finally let go of the reins in certain areas. And things started to shift. I could focus on actually being behind the camera again. But here's the thing I didn't expect. I missed the backend work. The templates, the systems, the social media strategy. Turns out I didn't hate it. I just hadn't had the space to love it properly.
That's when everything clicked. My evenings and weekends are precious now. A school-aged kid will do that to you. And I realized I wanted to help other women in this industry protect theirs, too, because you shouldn't have to choose between the work you love and the life you built around it.
I knew I couldn't be a mom, a wife, and a business owner all at the same time. Something had to give.

"From day one, Sarah took the time to understand my goals and my voice, and it shows. Her captions feel authentic, her communication is clear, and working with her feels like a true partnership, not just a service. My reach and bookings have increased. I cannot recommend her enough."
Every moment feels intential

"Sarah came in and did a complete audit and rehauled over my really old and outdated site. She has such great ideas on ensuring that my website really spoke to my brand and what I wanted it to showcase. Without her, I would have been completely lost!"
- Dan S. - Speaker and Music Artist
She is a website genius
"Setting up my CRM was a total nightmare. I had no idea what I was doing. I also am a mom and it was taking so much time away from my family. She came in and set the whole thing up in record time and now I can sit back and watch the automations run while I spend more time with family.
She helped me get time back

Want a little weight off your shoulders?
I started this business in 2010, so I know what it feels like when the business side takes over, and the camera ends up collecting dust. The emails pile up, the Instagram posts never get written, and the album proofs sit in someone’s inbox for weeks. I’m not here to judge any of it. I’m here to take some of it off your plate.
Let’s hop on a quick call and talk through what’s weighing on you most. No big sales pitch, just a real conversation about what would actually help and whether I’m the right fit. If I’m not, I’ll tell you.
If you made it this far down the page, I’m guessing you’re tired of doing it all yourself. You don’t have to.
