I cannot even tell you how excited I am to bring this back for year two.
Last August, we hosted our very first Collective Retreat here in my little hometown of Brookville… and it ended up being a weekend that none of us wanted to leave. The kind of retreat where you learn a ton, create work you’re proud of, all while slowing down and having fun.
So we’re doing it again…two more times! This summer I’m opening up two separate retreat weekends, each with just ten Collective members. Same cozy, content-packed, connection-heavy experience… just more chances for you to be part of it. It's part girls’ weekend, part photography deep dive, and part full creative reset.
We’ll be shooting, editing, talking through your business, hanging out on the porch, bar hopping, brunching and yes… heading down to the river for fossil hunting again and my favorite part...the last night bonfire.
Food and lodging are fully taken care of, so all you have to do is get yourself to Brookville!
learn more!

Ireland Workshop
ireland workshop
Ever want to frolic in the ruins of an ancient abbey? Look for faeries on the Hill of Tara? Have a pint of Guinness in a bar older than the United States?
...all during a workshop where we learn newborn posing and lighting, audit your business AND have a family session shoot-out?
Well this fall, join me for a workshop hosted by my dear friend Caroline Quinn, located in the beautiful County Meath, just 40 minutes outside of Dublin. September is a beautiful time to visit the Emerald Isle, and the workshop makes everything a tax write off ;)
coming soon
