For all the planners out there - here's how 2018 is shaping up around these parts! In addition to births and the custom lifestyle sessions I offer all year long for families, maternity, and fresh babies, the following are all the organized "events" and mini-sessions I'll be offering through the year. I hope one of them will be right up your alley!
In most cases, exact dates will be determined later on. Events are subject to change and cancellation. If you'd like reminders about any of these events, please sign up for my e-newsletter or follow me on Facebook.
Monthly: Catch Me If You Can Milestone Minis
Generally offered on the third Saturday of the month, Catch Me If You Can Milestone Minis are a short, sweet, and affordable way to capture all the ages & stages of baby's first years. RSVPs required. *There will be no CMIYC sessions in September or October 2018.*
February and June: Perfect {Professional} Headshots
Professional headshots are a must-have for your CV, byline, social networking profiles, and 'About Me' page. Every few months, I try to offer a day of headshots with a professional makeup artist on site, a full prep guide, and an array of delicious beverages so you can confidently knock this giant item off your to-do list. To see the results of past headshot events, please see here and here and here! The next installments of this series are planned for February 25, 2018 and June 24, 2018. The comprehensive fee for this session is $250 (a tax-deductible expense if done for your business and/or professional life!). To reserve your spot now, please contact me.
June 3: Spring Blossoms at the Orchard Little Sessions
Longer than a mini-session but shorter than a custom session, Little Sessions (30-40 minutes) at Clair's Cultivations' fields of fruit trees off CHSR are a wonderful opportunity for portraits in the loveliest of surroundings. At $195, these sessions are a SMOKIN deal, people.
Mid-July: Little Sessions in the Peonies {at Alaska Peony Flowers}
Longer than a mini-session but shorter than a custom session, Little Sessions (30-40 minutes) at Alaska Peony Flowers' fields of flowers in the Goldstream Valley are a wonderful opportunity for portraits in the loveliest of surroundings. At $195, these sessions are a SMOKIN deal, people.
August 11, 2018: Babywearing & Family Mini-Sessions
Babywearing portraits are some of my favorites - documenting such a sweet benchmark. Families (and non-babywearers) welcome. These quick 15-minute sessions are $89 and are a great opportunity to knock some family portraits out to preserve the summer sun all year long.
August 20-24, 2018: Little Sessions at the Orchard
Longer than a mini-session but shorter than a custom session, Little Sessions (30-40 minutes) are the perfect opportunity to capture the peak of fall in interior Alaska for families and couples alike. We'll be on-site at our local Alaskan orchard (off CHSR) for invite-only U-Pick evenings, August 20 - August 24. you're invited to grab your favorite baskets and hit the apple trees for a sweet evening of picking & portraits. The fee is $195 (and apples are $3/pound!).
Mid-September to Mid-October: Sarah Lewis Photography is on Sabbatical!
With the notable exception of birth stories and Fresh 48 sessions, I will not be taking any sessions from Mid-September to Mid-October 2018 so I can focus all my attention on school portraits! This seems like a good time to mention it: if your school, preschool, daycare, program, or group is in need of some good old-fashioned portraits with a modern edge, send them my way! I'd love to fit a few more schools onto my 2018 docket.
Mid-September: Client Appreciation Event - Complimentary Back-To-School Portraits
Short, sweet, and way better than boiler-plate! I'm excited to invite my existing clients into the studio for an invitation-only day of complimentary school-themed portraits to really mark the milestone of the new school year.
October 31: Client Appreciation Event - Complimentary Halloween Costume Portraits
As a gesture of thanks, for Halloween 2018 I'd like to invite all my year's clients to the studio for a complimentary in-costume portrait!
Early November: 5th Annual Winter Mini-Sessions at Running Reindeer Ranch
2018 will be the fifth year Running Reindeer Ranch and I have collaborated to offer brisk but quick 15-minute winter mini-sessions! Man, they're a lot of fun. We're aiming for the first weekend of November. Booking for these $175 sessions will begin at the beginning of October.
And last but not least -
My favorite, my absolute favorite type of sessions, are the ones we custom-design to document your family. If more than a mini-session is what is in your heart, let's get rolling on session design! Families, Births, Fresh Babies, and more - I love going into detail to create a session that will document your family's personality just as much as it does your faces. These sessions are available year-round, though I do take a limited number per month, so contact me sooner rather than later to reserve yours!
