PHOTO ESSAY WORKSHOP: FROM IMAGE TO STORY
Hosted by Books of Life
805 Ridge Rd, Wilmette IL
Thursday, February 5, 2026
7pm-8:30pm
$30
Join us for a Photo Essay Workshop under the theme of “Love”. Bring in one to three favorite photos of someone to dedicate this project to (partner, spouse, child, parent, grandparent, friend, pet, etc.). We’ll have fun bringing those memories to life while indulging in some bubbly and chocolate.
Local Memoirist and Writing Coach Sarah Squires-Doyle (myminimemoirs.com) will facilitate this session. She will provide writing prompts and tips to help you craft the story behind your picture - a gift to share with someone you love or treasure for yourself. No writing experience necessary. Space is limited, so register today!
