Absolutely love these photos! Love the one of her laying on the board and the second from the last the very best!
such great photos - you dominated the skate park with your pictures!
Love this photo shoot! The Lords of Dogtown is a good movie, if you haven't seen it already.
Great series. Skateboards scare me, I'd much rather photograph the action than attempt it. It's like a big flashing message saying- "step on me for instant broken bones."
SO awesome. love how chilled and relaxed these shots are
that 2nd last shot is EPIC! they are lovely Sarah!!!
Simplesmente perfeito !!!
Amo demais seu trabalho =)

Ah yea, I remember 'those girls'. ;)
Some fun shots here. I like the B&W concrete shots (mmm, texture).
thanks for the post.
I just registered last night! I'm so looking forward to hearing you speak - you're going to do an awesome job!
I LOVE this! I'm so excited for you and it is so inspiring to me, as a female photographer, to see so much success here.
I would love to hear about how you approach different sessions, your mindset. How your faith plays in to your business and how you work.
That's what I can think of for now... I'm sure I'll have more questions.. :)
I desperately want to go to a small conference like this, but as part of a husband/wife full time team, I feel like it wouldn't suit my needs as well. Is there a married-team oriented conference/workshop/retreat that you know of, or could you be inspired to partner with some of the greats and host one?
@Jenna Yes! It will be much smaller than WPPI (especially considering it is just women) :) There is a wide variety of speakers on the panel all covering different topics for women with a camera!
This event sounds awesome! I'm curious, is this going to be focused on shooting, marketing your business or what? Is it a smaller scale WPPI? I couldn't get the feel from reading through the site.
i wish i could go, especially since it's in grand rapids! ugh! jill and i were talking and we wanna take you out for dinner :)
I read Outliers a few years ago and more than anything else the "10 000 rule" stuck in my head. This year I have made it one of my goals to take every opportunity I can to shoot so I can get closer to that number. Thank you for your inspiring post to remind me of that goal. :)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! IT'S BRILLIANT. TOTALLY AND UTTERLY!
I love this picture! You made me wanna head down to Barns & Nobels and buy that book! Love your work Sarah!
After pulling a 12 hour day this was the perfect read to end it.
THANK YOU
you are always such an inspiration.

I think this is one lesson that new photographers or new anybody often don't understand or take into account. All a new-to-the-industry sees are the successful photographers (who may be offering a workshop) and the newbie wants "the answers," the "shortcut" to the success. In reality, as you point out, what you don't see is the 10,000+ hours behind the curtain, the blood, sweat, and tears, the late-nights, the failures, etc... that have all led to THIS moment of the hard-earned success. What no one sees now are the ones coming, the ones who are working to find their personal vision, who are putting in the hours, mastering their technical skills and honing their business skills. Yep, these are the hours. ;) Great reminder. Thank you.
Swoon!
Loved that book!
10,000 hours was definitely a requirement, but so was opportunity. We can't leave out opportunity!
Each case study in his book talked about the unbelievable opportunities each person had/didn't have. In his own words...
"Our ability to exceed at what we do is powerfully bound up with where we are from..."
"People who have extraordinary success are those who have been given opportunities and who have had the strength and presence of mind to seize them."
Ultimately, lets not forget that hard work is 99.9% of success. It is also true that hard work creates incredible opportunities for us... Focus on the 10,000 hrs and your mind will become sharp enough to see the opportunities.
Prepare, practice, work, search, create and pray for eyes sharp enough to see opportunity!
such a cool picture, love the rows and rows of school buses. just keep shooting, just keep shooting....
Love this film strip! I was once told by a photographer I was silly for wanting to develop film this way. He had NO idea! :)
Outliers is one book that is a mainstay in my business library. My favorite thing now when traveling is loading up my iPad with biz and photography books to kill the down time.
Gladwell is one of those authors who just sticks with you. Blink is a great book as well!!:)
and this is why you guys inspire me more than almost anyone. because you're two people around my age who value hard work the way i do. xo. can't wait to see more from this 2 week campaign!
this is just what i needed to hear! sometimes i get frustrated that i'm not an "amazing" photographer yet...but i have to stop and realize that i'm only 20 years old and have definitely not logged even close to 10,000 hours yet. thanks, sarah!
great post! Always a brilliant writer and motivator- thanks for the great monday pick-me-up - im sounding redundant- although i want you to know im greatful!
boom!
Second best use of buses since evil kenevil and Andy Samberg.
I LOVE Malcolm Gladwell! If you haven't already read Blink and the Tipping Point, you will love them as well.
Dude such a kick in the face to hear that number. Must needs to work at it more. Good word Sarah.
seriously awesome! can't figure out the recipe for the 3rd photo using jesh's or boutwell's. I love it though and I love the couples you get. magic!
oooo what a lovely session! i'd love to feature this on hi-fi weddings if you'd be interested. please just email me and let me know!
love love love :)
Amazing
