meet Sarah: FULL-TIME PHYSICAL THERAPY STUDENT, PHOTOGRAPHER, & ALL AROUND PEOPLE PERSON

WHADDUP!! I’m Sarah McLimore – the owner & lead photographer here at Sarah McLimore Photography! 

My life passion is to celebrate people for being exactly who they were created to be. I have a goofy, easy-going, fun-loving personality. I’m the definition of a “bruh girl”. I pride myself in being intentional with my relationships with others. My fatal flaws include eating ice cream straight out of the container, not being a morning person, shaking my booty around my apartment to one of my playlists, & sending a ridiculous amount of funny TikTok videos to my besties at 3 am. When I asked my best friends to come up with a fun fact for this page, they said “You can perform both Nelly Furtado and Timbaland’s roles in Promiscuous.".. honestly, what more do you need to know??! 

I moved to the Chicagoland area about two years ago!! I’m originally from Indy & moved here to pursue my doctorate in physical therapy at Northwestern!! Catch Dr. McLimore comin' atcha live in 2024!! Some think I’m crazy for pursuing two full-time careers, but these seemingly different occupations both give me an opportunity to build lasting relationships with others & make them feel seen and celebrated for who they are. Physical therapy allows me to help people reach their goals. Photography allows me to celebrate people. Being a physical therapist makes me a better photographer and vice versa. Nothing makes me more fulfilled than celebrating others & helping them reach their potential. Being someone’s cheerleader and friend along the way is exactly what God created me to do. 

I wake up everyday and truly love what I do. I consider myself so incredibly blessed to be living out my dream & that I get the opportunity to become good friends with so many incredible clients like YOU!! 
You can count on me to be your go-to-gal that minimizes stress, keeps you focused on enjoying your day, & gets your dance floor BUMPIN’!!!

organization

Aprendí español en mi universidad y quería ser una terapista bilingüe. I studied Spanish in college and lived in the DR for an internship with GO Ministries - a Christian organization that redeems, renews, and restores communities. ! I’m so passionate about non-profit work. I left a part of my heart in the DR & I’m already planning my next trip to go back. In the meantime, I strive to be a bilingual PT that promotes diversity & inclusion in the clinic.
