Photo/Image release

Feel free to share anything else you'd like me to know!
Thank you! I’ll be in touch with more details about where to put, but in the meantime, here are a few notes to help you prepare…
WHAT TO BRING/WEAR:
We will be sitting on the ground for a good part of the time, so I invite you to bring a blanket/towel or camp chair or something to sit on if you don't want to sit on the ground. I usually have some extras, so no worries if you forget.
Dress in layers you will be comfortable in sitting on the ground and in variable weather. I recommend pants to protect you from scrapes and bugs, as well as lots of warm layers in colder weather, since we don’t stay as warm as we do on a typical walk.
Consider leaving valuables behind in a secure location, or keep them on your body. It will be easier to relax into the experience if you don't have to keep track of valuables like a big purse or phone we wander from our sit spot.
Bring a water bottle and anything else you might need to be comfortable outside, such as sunscreen, bug spray, sun hat, etc.
COVID Precautions:
I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and given the fact that we are outside and can keep distance during our time together, I do not plan to wear a mask. You are welcome to wear a mask or not -- whatever makes you most comfortable.
Extreme Weather:
A chance of light rain in the forecast won't stop us, but if the weather looks miserable or unsafe, I will cancel via text or email with as much advance notice as possible.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments…
I'm looking forward to it!
Warmly,
Sarah
