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.

Ah. This trip would force me to get over my fear of flying and would help me beat my fear of starting a business. I’ve been doing my own photos for family and friends for 5+!years.
This would be a dream come true for me! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to spread my wings & fly. I’ve been a hobbyist for 3 years now but you’ve inspired me to take the next big step which is to take my passion to the next level & start charging clients! I am super excited about my new adventure & I hope it includes your inspiring workshop in the magical mountains!❤️❤️❤️
I love your work! You are such an inspiration! Amazing giveaway! I would love to be a part of this retreat!
So many words can be written as to why this would be an amazing opportunity! To this mama of 4 girls under 7 in a small Connecticut town, I think the biggest reason would be to challenge myself on both a personal and professional note out of my own comfort zone to truly grow as an artist. Juggling motherhood with a small business but with big dreams has at times grown to be a struggle. Sometimes I want to give up but I know this is what I am here to do. This opportunity would mean so much to me as a stunted artist in a bit of a rut. My soul needs this so my art can grow…working with Sarah and finding the connections in the family bond, how to juggle it all, and staying connected and grounded is exactly what my next journey needs…fingers crossed!!!
What an AMAZING opportunity! Good luck and to those signed up to go… Have lots of fun!
Gosh, your work is beautiful!
Wow! What a wonderful opportunity! I absolutely adore your work and would feel so blessed to join and learn from you at this workshop. XOXO
Hi,
I really need to come to this. I just quit my job, (which was probably a terrible idea) to be a photographer. Because for the last year at a desk all I did was wonder why I was there, and why I am not following my souls song. So I quit, and everything that could go wrong has gone wrong in the last couple weeks. It’s a test and I know it but I will not give up. I would love to come and connect and soak up all the magic that I can.
Sarah I love your photography but more than anything I love your heart and your openness to show your feelings and emotions to people. Thank you for your gifts. ❤️
Sarah is the one who started me on my photography journey — I reached out to her after hearing her on a scrapbooking podcast. She was so sweet and gracious, and started me taking classes at Clickin Moms. Her work speaks to my photographer’s soul, and I know a retreat like this would help me reconnect with my artistic voice now that I have become a mom myself.
Your work is stunning and the raw emotion that you capture is unmatched. I would love the opportunity to learn how to capture such emotion for my own clients. I am a military spouse currently living in Texas!
What an awesome opportunity. I can’t imagine shooting with, learning from, and hanging out with Sarah and what I’m sure would be several other ladies I would love. ❤ what a gift.
What an amazing opportunity! It would be a dream come true to win this! XXX
Being a client of yours I know your art is timeless. I would be delighted to learn from you!
What an amazing opportunity this would be! I greatly admire your work, and would love the opportunity to learn from you! (I would be traveling from Victoria, BC!)
I would love to attend. I feel like I need to reignite my spark, find new meaning in my work, and learn how to shoot what I want and not what’s expected. I think this workshop couldn’t awaken that in me.
I would love to win this! I have followed you for many years and admired your work and heart! I am praying hard to win!
What a generous giveaway! You’re so amazing at what you do, I love your work so much!!!
Sarah, you’re one of my favorite photographers and I loved getting to have you photograph our family! I would LOVE to have the opportunity to learn from you !
I love your work! It would be so amazing to win the Leap Retreat! I’ve never been able to do a retreat but have always dreamed of it! Maybe this will be it 🙂
Have followed you since I started my photography business – always a fan. Your images are so full of emotion and I would love to be able to share that quality with my clients.
A retreat in the mountains learning from you would be an amazing experience – business and life changing.
Your images move me. They give you a feeling, of joy or peace, sometimes longing or wonder. I just love that about your work! The places you photograph at are just magical as well, it would be a dream to come to Colorado and learn from you and experience a retreat like yours! I’ve never been able to do anything like it, but it’s on my bucket list for sure! Praying I win the spot 😉
I would be traveling from Oklahoma, but I’m originally for Missouri in the heart of the Ozarks where the water runs crystal clear from the springs and trees and hills are abundant. A little different from Oklahoma but it’s still where I call home.
I have a small business where I live but not much growth since moving here six years ago. No regrets behind that either. I’m more of a mom-tog, and I’m okay with that. I like taking portraits for other families but it’s just not as inspiring to me as capturing my own children is. I always follow your work & I love the lifestyle behind it! I love the feeling I get when I’m browsing your page, and I feel like I know your family even though I have never met you! that’s a goal I have when I shoot my kids. I want to remember the way I felt the moment I snapped it. I would love to learn how to capture that for others!!
I have been an admirer of your work for some time now….watching your family grow along with your fabulous work has been so inspiring. I would absolutely love to have the opportunity to learn from your first hand.
Sooooo excited about the possiblility of honing my craft with other women! What a joy that would be?!? I’d love to be able to attend. And, from the dusty fields of Texas to the mountains? Sounds heavenly. 😍
I have been dying to do a workshop for a very long time now and this would be the very best birthday present ever (my birthday is Sept 20th). I really just need to be re-inspired and what better way to do that then this.
I live in Evanston, IL (Chicago North Shore). I’m an architect, interior designer, and just finished my first project366. I took a photography workshop a year ago to learn how to shoot in manual mode. My husband and I both started our architectural practice full time around then, and I wanted to keep up with documenting our work . I quickly realized the spaces we designed were even more amazing with the families and people who lived in them. I would love to be part of the Leap: A very special photography retreat. Your work is so beautiful!
Hi Sarah! I would be so thrilled to attend this workshop. It would be amazing to see how you create your magic and to learn from the best. I would love to see what you see thru that lens! I would be traveling from Massachusetts. <3 Thank you!
I am in love with your work. The connection and emotion in your images is breathtaking. I am working toward catching more real moments and less posed looking at the camera. My babies are growing too fast and I have learned to cherish the real life images more and more. I want to grow in my art not only for my business, but also to better capture my own memories.
I would love to come and see a family session shot by you in person. This would be great for me since I am a visual person. Being at a retreat with other photographers would be inspiring in itself. I would be coming from the Alabama.
I would love and I mean LOVE to win this workshop!!!! Colorado would be amazing to see, plus I would totally freak out to get the chance to meet you and hang out and learn from you. Newly single motherhood has turned my life and photography business upside down. Moving out of my house with my home studio means my newborn photography business is no more 🙁 Now I need to hustle and grow grow grow my family photography business to help support myself and my children. Winning a seat to this workshop would be so amazing and a great way to jump start and advance my family photography skills. Fingers crossed!!! 🤞🙏🤞🙏🤞
