Sarah Thummel
The credibility is real but it lives on other people's platforms. Claiming a name-domain home and one consistent handle is the single highest-leverage move you can make.
Who you are, in one paragraph
Owner and Photographer, Stay Wild Photography – a solo senior portrait photography business. Sarah is the sole operator (no co-owner or partner found); she refers to herself in the first person throughout the site ("I'm Sarah," "my business"). She has an assistant (a senior named "Peyton" mentioned in reviews) who is not a business co-owner.

Questions for you, Sarah
Answer these and your audit sharpens from good to precise. These are the gaps where your goals, content focus, or target audience weren’t fully clear to us.
Has she relocated to Omaha? If so, is she pivoting the business to Omaha, keeping Wichita clients, or starting over in a new market? This is the most urgent strategic question — it changes everything about her authority-building plan.
`sarahthummel.com` appears unowned. Does she want to build a personal brand under her name, or keep everything under the Stay Wild Photography brand? Are these the same goal for her?
She has no confirmed LinkedIn profile as a photographer/business owner. Is she open to building one? For a solo creative business owner, a LinkedIn presence can add B2B credibility (event photographers, headshots, corporate clients).
`@staywild_seniors` ties to the niche/location but not her name. If she relocates (to Omaha, or anywhere), the handle is geographically anchored to Wichita. Has she considered a handle that travels with her (e.g., `@sarahthummelphoto`)?
The YouTube channel appears as "Stay Wild Photography" but its subscriber count and handle are unconfirmed. How many subscribers? Is she actively promoting the vlog beyond embedding it on her site?
She has a Park Lane Jewelry rep page. Is she actively selling jewelry, or is this a defunct side hustle? If active, does she want it visible alongside her photography brand or kept separate?
No PPA (Professional Photographers of America) or CPP certification found. Is she aware of these? Given that photography is her sole business and income, a formal credential would add trust signals, especially in a new market.
She has 30+ written testimonials but no star rating system, no Google My Business listing found, and no Yelp. Is she using Google Business Profile? What is her review strategy beyond on-site testimonials?
