Classes

There’s something magical about capturing a woman expecting – she has life within her, she’s a free spirit, and what if you could bottle that untamed essence in the wilderness forever?

This workshop is for maternity photographers AND fashion photographers who want to master editorial techniques in natural settings. Whether you shoot expecting mothers or high-fashion models, these skills will transform how you work with natural light and location.

For years, I avoided natural light. I was a studio Girl, controlled lighting, predictable results. Give me 7 strobes and I was cool to work with them. But when I finally learned to embrace natural light and blend it with strobes, my work didn’t just improve – it transformed. It stopped screaming for attention and started commanding respect. It became the kind of work that makes people stop scrolling.

Here’s the truth about location work: The moment you shift your angle and perspective, your entire image transforms. Working somewhere that’s not architecturally stunning? No problem. I’ll show you how to create portfolio pieces that feel cinematic and timeless.

What you’ll master:
– Location scouting secrets: finding shape, lines, and natural “”architecture”” anywhere
– Light mastery: backlight control, negative fill, scrims, reflectors, and golden hour magic
– Perspective power: low/high angles, elongation, creating balance with environment
– Movement and flow: fabric choreography and dynamic prompts that capture freedom
Two to three complete editorial setups—hero wide shots, mid-length with flow, and intimate sculpted portraits. You’ll cycle through directing techniques and experiment with angles that transform ordinary locations into editorial gold.

What to bring: Your camera and triggers. Everything else is handled.

Get ready to capture that wild, free spirit, whether it’s an expecting mother or your next fashion editorial.

Who doesn’t love to make money?? If you are a shoot-and-burn photographer, sending your clients their galleries strictly online, you may be feeling broke, burned out, or both. Before I switched to IPS (In-Person Sales) in January 2021, I was right there with you. I was competing with hundreds of other photographers in my area, hustling day and night, losing precious time with my family and feeling overall exhausted. I knew I couldn’t sustain my business working at that pace. If you can relate, this class is for you! Changing my business model saved my business, my marriage, my bank account, and allowed me so many opportunities that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. In this class, we’ll start from the ground floor of switching to an IPS model. It can feel like a scary jump, so I want you to learn from all of my wins AND my mistakes that have led me this far. You’ll learn the reasons why an IPS model is successful for so many photographers, and how to do it without feeling “salesy”. You’ll also learn different applications to make IPS work for YOU as a long-term solution. I’ll also share with you my own IPS workflow from start to finish. At the end of class, you’ll receive a bonus pricing template so that you can get started right away. You’ll learn how to work smarter, not harder AND make more money. I want everyone to leave class with tips and tools to be more profitable with their businesses. Let’s jump into IPS!
