 My name is Sabrina Locke, middle name is Jane! My whole life I’ve been called “Sabrina Jane” by my family, and my middle name runs deep on my mother’s side of the family. So I wanted to incorporate it into my business because I am proud to have it!

Born & raised outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I still reside in the area with my two cats Theo & Gus and my better half, Denny.

 I grew up as a pre-professional ballerina, and now have the greatest honor of teaching and inspiring the next generation of dancers at the same school I grew up training at. 

I am a graduate of Penn State University in State College, PA holding my bachelor's degree in Hospitality Management. While studying HM at Penn State, I was also heavily involved on my dance team by holding leadership seats on committees, choreographing, teaching and holding an Executive Board seat as Social Chair my senior year. Some of the best years of my life were spent in that small, middle of nowhere, crazy town where you hear "WE ARE" through the streets, "Kernkraft 400" by Zombie Nation roaring out of Beaver Stadium on a fall Saturday and trudging through all four seasons that hit Happy Valley. I will forever and always be a proud Penn State Alumni and could talk about it all day! 

After graduating from PSU in 2022, I put my hospitality degree to use as a manager of a Pittsburgh-Favorite gourmet grilled cheese restaurant that I worked at for a total of 8 years! I love to stay as involved in the food & beverage world as possible as it is a passion of mine and will always hold a special place in my heart!

Full-time, I am the Marketing Coordinator at a heavy duty truck parts distribution company, organizing all company events, marketing strategies and initiatives, building relationships with partners and assist in sales coordination! My favorite part of my full-time job is that I get to work with my Dad everyday - as an only child it is a great way to spend time with him and get to know him in a different light!

My favorite place in the world is the beach! Key West, Florida is my most favorite place to be, but any beach where I can see through the water and bake in the sun will make me happy! I love to snorkel, watch the sun rise and set, learn about ocean conservation, walk and clean up the beach, and most of all collect seashells - so much so that I have a tattoo of a seashell!

I love to spend my time with family & friends, traveling to new places, binge watching TV shows, creating new pasta recipes, snuggling my cats, journaling, DIY crafts, the list goes on!

 Putting that all together, I believe is what brings me to this chapter. Working with people, being social, doing creative things, creating memorable experiences, traveling, working with kids, etc. I believe I can find all of that in one place! Since I was a kid, I’ve always loved taking pictures. My friends and I used to have photoshoots in our backyards, parks, anywhere. And with nearly 60,000 pictures currently sitting on my phone, it’s safe to say that I still do! I’ve always loved being on the other side of the camera too. I accredit that to my friend, photography mentor, and ballet photographer back in the day, Katie Ging. I also love to pick the bright mind of Bob Killmer, my dad’s lifelong friend who is also a professional photographer.
