Welcome to the 60s with The Maybelles

I was able to spend some dreamy golden hours with Chilliwack’s The Maybelle’s, a 1960s inspired music group. They’re putting on their annual event Welcome to the 60’s on March 29 & 30 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre Rotary Hall Studio Theatre. These ladies are TALENTED, and I’m so excited to see what they put together this year!

While I don’t offer professional graphic design, I do the Maybelle’s poster every year and it’s one of my favourite things to put together. Below are a few images from our little sunset walk session & the final poster - get tickets soon, I hear they’re going fast!

Hello 2019!

Here I am, on the first day of 2019 updating my blog I AM ON IT.

In 2018 my goal was to be more present in photographs, and I plan to do more of that this upcoming year. I also have more creative projects in the works, especially personal creative work, while I sort out my counselling practice as well. 2018 has been a year of such creativity, growth and change that I’ve been lucky enough to take much of December to just reflect on how I want to move forward with my business and counselling practice and what that might look like. So I guess my goal for 2019 is for more of that, but balanced with just a few more naps than last year.

In the meantime, I’m super excited to say that 2018, with all the creativity, the beauty, art-making, triumphs - and yes, even with the losses, was magical, powerful, and full of growth. It was everything I hoped it would be, and I’m ready for all the awesome stuff 2019 will bring.

Thanks for following along with me this past year, trusting me to photograph you, and making art with me.

This graphic of my face posted much bigger than expected, I’ll be honest.

Christmas Cards!

I’m offering Christmas cards this year! Printed on recycled matte cardstock, the cards are a flat lay 5x7 (like a large postcard) with printing available on the front and back. To take a peek at the templates available, pricing and/or fill out the order form, mosey on over here. Order no later than December 3, Rush orders are available.

Halloween Minis! THIS OCTOBER!

Hi, I’m Sarah, and Halloween is my favourite.

I love scary things. I mean, as I write this, I’ve also just paused a terribly awesome ghost audiobook about a haunted inn, I’m burning a fall-scented candle, I’m rolling around in a room full of seasonal sweaters, I’m brewing a pumpkin spice latte in my cozy kitchen: I’VE GONE FULL FALL, and I’m so ready for the 31st.

I kept thinking about the photos I have from when I was a kid, the ones of me in costume, with my friends, dressed in costumes that took my mom forever to get me into. I was a black cat, a news reporter (I dressed almost normal, except I walked around with a microphone and recording case and gave obnoxious interviews), a pink dog, and Little Red Riding Hood. What I love the most about so many Halloween costumes is the time and effort put into every beautiful piece - the excitement, and the love, and the memory-making - and this year, I want to photograph that.

SO, I’m offering mini-sessions NEXT WEEK, on Tuesday (23), Thursday (25), Saturday (27), and Sunday (28). Minis are short, sweet & simple - in costume - and $100 (limit of 2 people) - and open to ALL AGES. (Shoot me an email if you want to book more than 2!) 1/2 nonrefundable retainer due upon booking. Sessions are 20 minutes, and include 3 digital files of your choice from a downloadable online gallery (additional files available for purchase.)

To book, shoot me an email through the contact form, and let me know what your day preference is. Spots are limited, so book soon!
