Leap: A Very Special Photography Retreat | Win a Spot HERE + a SALE
This might be the biggest giveaway I have ever hosted.
Leap has been a long time coming. And why the name Leap anyway? Because honestly, that leap of faith is what stands in the way of all of the good things waiting for us in that vast unknown. We erect invisible walls built out of our own fear… or maybe that is just me. Either way, this is a walk we don’t have to do alone because we aren’t alone. This has been on my heart for some time now… years in fact. I have wanted to host a very special experience that incorporates a healthy love for photography, a passionate and safe place to nurture hearts and minds– with an educational opportunity to bring out the most in each woman that chooses to partake in this experience. I have been looking for the courage to leave the comfort of my own nest as a self professed people loving introvert, to envelop others in a warm and safe environment. I believe to truly grow, we have to be willing to shed our skin and offer up a bit of vulnerability in exchange for the chance to fully bloom and come into our own. To help photographers reach their goals by helping them to listen to their own unique voice, a voice that begs to be heard but is sadly so often pushed away and squandered in fear is my biggest goal. Friends, your work is so intertwined with just who you are. We tie our inner artist to our inner being and find ourselves vulnerable every time we share what we create. It is so easy to let the voices and the influences of others in– and it taints our ability to believe in ourselves and to trust our own true visions at times. It is terrifying to put yourself out there. I understand that as well as anyone. But this is your safe haven. I have the chance to sit across from women each year. Mentoring and nurturing other souls is something that has proved to be a huge blessing to me as well. I wanted to do this on an even grander scale. 2017 is going to be year that magic happens. Beautiful things are on the horizon and my biggest wish is for you to take my hand and join me.
So, what exactly is this all about?
This is more than a workshop. It’s a one of a kind experience, a retreat into the Colorado mountains. It is a place of solidarity and friendship and inspiration. You will be staying alongside me in a 1950’s vintage cabin surrounded by majestic views, cozy touches and beautiful learning opportunities. I am your open book. This is an intimate experience with only 10 places open so that I can make sure to spend the time and attention I need on each woman that comes along on this journey.
What is included:
A riveting and beautiful experience.
All main meals + some snacks (okay lots of snacks because it’s me.)
Lodging in the cutest 1950’s Colorado Cabin.
Two Full Days together and then some.
Three Amazing Shoots: 1 Lifestyle Family session IN the cabin, a Full Family session outside with the landscapes and mountains all around + a bonus shoot (Mama & Me.)
25 Minute one-on-one time with each gal in the afternoons to reflect privately on any questions you may have pertinent to your business. We will peek at some of your work, have a little chat and get to the very bottom of what stirs your soul and fills the gaps in your business.
A walk through of my full editing workflow from RAW to the finished images I would deliver to my client.
My full business/client workflow.
Preparing for Family Sessions, Client interaction, Marketing, Session styling, Location Scouting and just about anything you would like to ask me.
Creative exercises to get the mind working in the most wondrous of ways.
A Private Facebook group to get acquainted.

I have recently celebrated my fourth year in business and would love this to be my first in person workshop to attend! Thank you so much for this opportunity! <3
Honestly I just want to come and hang out with you. It would be great to finally meet you in person. Over the years I have seen you and your family change and grow. It would be great to be able to just say thank you for being a FB friend all theses years.
If you want a “answer” in reference to photography It would be an amazing experience to meet a tribe that cherishes the same ideals of storytelling thru authentic images.
This would be such an amazing retreat to experience with like minded creatives, inspiring each other and growing. I live in Washington, and have never been to Colorado but would love to win and join in the fun!
It’s no secret I’m obsessed with your unconventional visual stories that you share with us so perfectly. To win a trip like this would be a total dream come true
I have never attended a photography workshop, even though I’ve been pretty serious about my camera for what seems like forever. I have a huge fear of flying, but when I think about this awesome opportunity, I know I could get on a plane in a heartbeat! Thank for your generous giveaway! Someone is going to be sooooo thrilled to win! <3
I love the naturelness of the people in your pictures. My biggest problem is, how to get my clients out of the “I have to pose, because there is a camera around me” mode… I would be thrilled to get the opportunity to see how you work. That would be the one of the best thing I had in the short time we are allowed to live here in the amazing USA ♡
You know I adore you! <3 I just know that it will be such an incredible experience for all the girls involved in this!
Would love love love to visit you in Colorado! What an awesome opportunity to learn and grow. My goal for 2017 is to shoot more honestly and your work is a true body of inspiration for me. Thanks!
My main goal in 2017 is to start capturing memories. More fun, less posing. I’d say you are one of the best in the business when it comes to authentic captures and it would be a dream to learn from you in such an uplifting environment ❤️
Sarah, I have ‘followed’ you for years now…I feel like I somehow know you. You have that special way of making people feel included in on your journey because you share so much of it. I am in awe of your talent and the time you take to share it with others. Although I have been shooting for five years I feel a need to drink from your vast knowledge, my business needs a hands on experience such as the one you are offering. I need the courage to put myself out there more (as a fellow homebody I know you are) I need to break out of myself more…thank you for this opportunity. Much love. <3 -Erika
Your work is so beautiful. I’ve been a fan for awhile. Of course this would be an amazing opportunity! Good luck to all!
This retreat sounds like exactly what I need. I feel stuck in my business and I need a refresh. I want to find ways to attract clients who value what I do, because I put my whole heart into what I do and feel like I’m not moving forward. You are amazing xox
I would be so honored and humbled to win a spot. I am a mama of three little boys. We are hoping to have a couple more someday. I also work full time as a nurse. I love photography. I love how you can capture the mundane and make it beautiful for your clients. I would love to pick your brain about business management and how to balance that with family. Lots of love girl!
Hello darling Sarah. I’ve been following you for quite some time and something about you gives me insight into loving life. Living passionately. Authentically. Radically. Unapologetically. You have a gift, not just with the camera but a gift with people. I think an opportunity to be in your presence, just to be around another devoted wife, mother, photographer, writer, would be life changing. May you be abundantly blessed, in the way you have blessed so many of use 💕
Xox,
Madina
Wow! This would be a total dream come true on so many levels. Not to mention how beneficial this would be while growing my business. I come from a tiny town of 200 in northern MN. It would be a great experience to learn from you and take what I learn, apply it, and stand out in a saturated market.
I would love to learn from the heart of Sara, she truly is so inspiring and heart warming.
I need a big push to make photography more central in my life… and this is it! 🙂
WOW! This is absolutely amazing! I would be so thrilled to win a spot!! This sounds like an amazing experience!! Thank you so much for offering such a fantastic retreat!! Good luck to everyone!!
Every single image you post tugs at all my heart strings. Those real, raw, joyful, magic moments are my absolute favorite and what I really want to focus more on going into this next year. Winning a spot in your workshop would be exactly what I need. Time away, with like minded women, to focus on ME and my passion. This is such an amazing opportunity, thank you!
I first heard of you from my sister Cathy Sujishi. She is a professional photographer in Orange County, Ca. We love your work and I would love to nominate her for this experience! She would be over the moon to do something like this with such a wonderful group of ladies!! Thank you ~ Caroline
I would love, love, love to attend your retreat!! ahh! I love being able to continue learning from amazing people in my field!
I would love to learn from such a talented & knowledgeable artist!!
What a wonderful thing to offer! I would love a chance to win, Thankyou for the opportunity!❤️❤️❤️
The way you capture connection in your photos is what inspires me to take my images to another level. Learning from you would be the most amazing thing! Thank you so much for the chance to win.
Your work is inspirational!!!
I would love an opportunity to some to this workshop and learn from you! It sounds magical! I am so in love with your editing style and the way you capture the love the family feels for each other. That is what always speaks to me in your photographs.
Sarah this is one of the most generous giveaways I have seen. Bless your soul! This retreat would be a dream come true! I have longed to take part in a retreat like this and for the fact that it’s with you is amazing! I would be travelling from a little small town in Saskatchewan CANADA! Thank you so much for this chance!
This would be such an amazing experience that I need to help shape my own photography…
Sarah, I’ve been following your work since 2013. I sent you a few hairbrush to photograph and they were some of my best images I’ve received from photographers. I’d love to win this hopefully to boost my confidence in this field.
This is going to be epic…so glad you are taking this leap both for those who benefit and you!
