Come adventure with us

A photography retreat centred on crafting location driven sessions, authentic client connections, from-the-heart marketing, and unlocking confident and natural newborn photography.

Elevate your business this year

meaningful connections

Do you struggle with getting your clients comfortable in front of the camera? Do you find you struggle with posing, or that your sessions feel stagnant and the same each time around?

We will be learning how to create real, authentic connections with your clients — the more we know our clients, the better we can cater a session around them! If you want to create a personalised brand, that makes your clients feel seen & heard, if you are wanting to create more dynamic sessions that actually reflects who your clients are, then you’re in the right place!

You will leave the workshop fully equipped to start creating individual and specialised sessions for your clients, ready for them to feel completely engaged and connected with their family, and with you.

From the Heart Marketing

Marketing doesn’t need to be hard, nor does it ever need to feel inauthentic!

If you struggle with what to say to your audience (or even who your audience is!), how to effectively use different marketing strategies (what even are different marketing strategies?!), then we’ve got you!

We will be talking in depth about my own marketing journey, what worked for me, what didn’t and go through my step by step process of how I approach my marketing that feels from the heart, and really converts.

Sessions that set us apart

Have you been struggling to figure out how to make locations work for you? Do you want to create beautiful images at the same time as making space for your families to really engage with each other? If so, then this workshop is for you!

We will be diving deep into location driven sessions — how to create a session around a location, how to choose epic locations, how to make the most of a location, and how to elevate your brand by guiding your client through location selections that not only look beautiful, but work for their family too!

Em will be giving you the keys to confidently and naturally work with newborns across a range of locations and light scenarios. She'll take you through The Keys: Wrapping, Dimension, Lighting & Posing.
