Review from one of our attendees:

I get SO stuck in my own head when I don’t have a community to bounce ideas off of, and this workshop was exactly what I needed to get out of my rut. I was so impressed with how they handled even the little things. It was such an empowering and vulnerable week and I feel like I learned something totally eye-opening during every workshop we did! Can’t wait to implement everything I learned into my business! – Rachel Fugate Photography

We started out the week in Paris – visiting museums, a boat ride on the Seine, classes outside in parks, and exploring the city!

We woke up at dawn for a sunrise wedding editorial shoot at the Eiffel Tower! It was a beautiful collaboration between Leanne Marshall, Holly Carlisle, Olive Juice Press, Alice and Mae Bridal.

The first night we surprised the group with a boat tour on the Seine!

Audrey Paris Photo came and taught us about boudoir photography. The theme of the week was connection and vulnerability and how we can create more meaningful work by being open and free ourselves.

Olive Juice Press did a beautiful job on the invitation suite and Alice and Mae bridal made the headpiece!

Leanne Marshall + Frou Frou chic is magic!

Then we hopped on a train to Provence. The one-on-one sessions on the train were some of my favorite conversations!

Holly Carlisle taught us about flower arranging and foraging in our villa in Provence! I loved this time!

Ah! The lavender! I was crossing my fingers for weeks that it wouldn’t be harvested yet- and we found ONE field!

We did headshots of each other and photographed three beautiful models in the lavender!

The sleepy town of Grignan was so fun to explore!

The time we spent relaxing and talking at the villa was so special wine and cheese plates of course made it better!

Everyone looked beautiful photographing in Provence! Cathleen Jia sent some beautiful wedding dresses and veils!

I’ll always remember how special and sacred this trip was, and how much people pushed past fears and embraced new stories!
