2019 Leap Retreat FULL seat giveaway! Lodging and Food included!

    I am back with a pretty special giveaway. 

    Leap Retreat is coming back in 2019, and I am offering up a completely free seat. Leap stands for so much that I needed in the beginning of my own journey. It’s a special experience for those that want so much more than just the know how. Leap is for those that want to find their pulse and discover their “why.”

    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 surround ourselves with these 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 had been on my heart for some time… years in fact. I had 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 join me 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. Too often we are afraid to even acknowledge that we love what we are doing in the fear that we will come across as less than humble or not genuine but the truth is, you deserve to be doing and creating things you love. I want to help you do that. I want to be that safe space for you.

    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. This is that but on a grander scale filled with fellowship and friendship and reconnection.

    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.

    A sweet Den Mama who will be there to help me love on you, prepare meals and hang out.

    Three Full Days together and then some. Bring all the leggings and cozy clothes. This is intimate and cozy.

    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.)

    20 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 long before our time together but then afterwards too.

    Sweet little Gifts! Because I just love to give presents.

    Friendships that will last you a lifetime.

    On another note we are STILL working on the website. We decided to just scrap what we are doing and start from scratch. A little back history–my website was hacked about a year ago and things haven’t functioned well. The person that originally designed my main website is no longer working on websites at all so I had to hire someone new. This is good news though for you all though because I haven’t been able to retire a lot of things in my shop. I will have a sale next week on EVERYTHING in the shop! And if you missed the Heartstrings guide on sale, you can still grab it at a huge bargain HERE.

      Bummed I missed the sign up for the lucky spot! Looking forward to hearing the details for the other nine seats. It would be a blessing to learn from you Sarah. Not to mention a trip to beautiful Colorado with yummy eats and staying in my pjs for most of three days!! If I can score one of the nine seats I can give back to the group with sunrise yoga?
      Thanks for all you share with the world around you.
      You are truly an amazing soul.

    2. Becca Timpe says:

      It’s easy to get stuck in a creative rut. To compare myself to every other photographer. Our area is a very saturated with crazy talented photographers, so it’s easy to get down on my own work. I’ll get a great idea in my head of some sort of session that sparks a fire, but then wuss on on exciting it or getting the story/emotion across. I feel like Sarah is a genius on connections. Would love to work with her and other photographers to build up one another!

    3. Lilly says:

      Love your photography, such an inspiration to a new mama here how to capture sweet moments of baby’s first year of life!!

    4. Erin says:

      I am in love with your work, your editing, and your fun colorful style. Your work is emotional, and I can feel your through. It’s absoou breath-taking!

    5. This retreat is something that truly sings to my soul in every way. By then, I’ll have 5 sweet kiddos that will be so hard spending a few days away from, but spending it with someone who is sure to fuel my fires in every way would be absolutely worth it. I have been in business for 5 years now and at times totally need a new, creative, from the heart driven inspiration. I’m thinking (knowing) that this must be the place 🖤
      Thank you for giving so much of your precious time and your straight from the heart teachings!

      I will be coming from Canada and this would mean the world to me. As a single mom to three teenage girls my life is lived by faith and photography!

    7. I’d love to win a seat, it would mean the world to me. There is so much value in learning from other photographers and learning new techniques, making friendships with amazing ladies who have the same love for photography, and finding inspiration. After hitting a little bit of a burnout I feel like this would help get me over that little bump in the road we all hit eventually and help me really find my “why.” 🙂 I’d be coming in from the Reno, NV area and I’ve never been to Colorado so that would be so exciting!

    8. I feel like this would be the PERFECT getaway to get connected back with photography, after having a new baby at home. New scenery, new people and learning new things! It could help my business grow into something that I’m even more proud of.

    9. I would DIE to win this! Looking for that extra heart and soul you put into everything you do. And a little recharge as well. Would be traveling from Seattle!

    10. Becky says:

      I’m in love with your work and would be ecstatic to have the opportunity to meet and work with you!

    11. Allana says:

      Heading to a retreat like this would be life changing; Colorado looks so beautiful and inspiring and to get the opportunity to meet and learn from you, well there is no words!! ♥️

    12. Amanda says:

      This retreat looks amazing! Being able to spend quality time in a beautiful setting with wonderful people and photographers is such an incredible opportunity! Thank you for putting this together for everyone!

    13. Kenzi Tainow says:

      Looking to grow and develop my art with some amazing photographers!

    14. Tamara says:

      You are amazing and such an inspiration!!

    15. Kristen says:

      What an amazing opportunity! A get away like this is so beneficial. Being able to discuss photography and business with other photographers would help with my confidence and help me set goals for the future of my business. It would be such a blessing to win this.

    16. Samantha Bradley says:

      I’d really love the opportunity to learn from you and to be surrounded by other photogs. I’m lacking something in my work. Maybe it’s creating genuine moments, feeling confident and comfortable, really understanding my camera and photoshop. I truly want to step out of my comfort zone and find myself and my style. Plus you’re a badass photographer and I’d loooove nothing more than to absorb all your knowledge.

    17. Jodi says:

      You are an amazing human being to give away such an amazing prize. To be able to learn alongside you and other amazing photographers is once in a life time chance to enhance my photography skills. Thank you for this wonderful chance at a great opportunity.

    18. Abby Glover says:

      Winning this would be a dream come true. I recently bought your Heartstrings guide and I am such a fan. I’ve told my husband for 3 years I’d love to attend a workshop.. just not know what one. Just wish we didn’t have to wait until 2019! Thank you so much!

    19. I have followed you for a couple of years now. I have yet to find anyone else’s work to be able to speak in such a “loud” way to my heart through their work as yours does! Coming from a tiny town in KY, attending your Leap workshop would be a dream. I could only pray to be able to create the special moments as you do!

    20. Lacey says:

      This retreat looks amazing!!

    21. Ohhh yes please I would love to come from
      The uk!!! Would be pure magic ✨✨✨

    22. Megan Havelaar says:

      wow, this is an amazing opportunity!! i don’t have a business, but i do work for a non-profit in Ethiopia and live here with my family! i’m self-taught and would love this opportunity to develop my skills and passion for photography AND to learn from you Sarah would just be out-of-this-world amazing, a dream come true! i’m also from CO so there’s that 😉

    23. Diana Joy says:

      Love the beach but the mountains are calling. I would love the opportunity to work alongsode other photographers at different skill levels. I feel it would be a game changer.
