Hello! I’m a newborn, maternity, high school senior, and family photographer with over 14 years of experience. I’m known for my natural, classic, true-to-life style that focuses on genuine connection and timeless imagery.
My passion is capturing the moments that matter most—those fleeting, beautiful stages that make up your family’s story. Whether you’re expecting a new little one, welcoming your sweet newborn, celebrating a first birthday cake smash, or simply documenting everyday milestones, I’m here to preserve it all.
Every session is centered around connection, emotion, and storytelling—so you can hold onto these memories for years to come.
My cozy in home studio is the heart of my work. It's where I create gorgeous images, house all of the props for sessions and where babies are kept warm and comfy. It's located in Hooper, Ne on my organic berry farm.
I have been photographing beautiful Nebraska families since 2013. I am a dog lover, who married her high school sweetheart in 2015. We live on an organic berry farm where we grow aronia berries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, plums, apples, and pears!
As your photographer, my goal is to create a beautiful gallery of images for you to cherish forever.
I pride myself on providing families with an all-around amazing experience.

"Sally Jo Photography is absolutely amazing. She was so patient with my newborn during his photos. She made us feel at home and listened to what I wanted so diligently. Sally got us in last minute when our other photographer backed out. I will only go to Sally Jo for now on! Absolutely amazing!"

"I chose another photographer for my maternity & newborn shoot with my first child and was disappointed. This time I hired Sally at the recommendation of a friend and my pictures were BEAUTIFUL! She gave direction, edited flaws out, and helped pose the entire family. She was very responsive on short notice as well."

"We had Sally photograph my sister's wedding this weekend and she is amazing! She was professional with calls and scheduling beforehand. On the day of Sally was assertive and covered all the basis to keep the wedding going! As a member of the wedding party I was very impressed all across the board from the viewing to the first dances Sally was always there with her camera."
