The Leap Retreat | Registration Here
Leap has been a long time coming.
And why the name Leap anyway? Because honestly, that leap of faith is what stands in the way of all of the good things waiting for us in that vast unknown. We erect invisible walls built out of our own fear… or maybe that is just me. Either way, this is a walk we don’t have to do alone because we aren’t alone. This has been on my heart for some time now… years in fact. I have wanted to host a very special experience for women that incorporates a healthy love for photography, a passionate and safe place to nurture hearts and minds– with an educational opportunity to bring out the most in each woman that chooses to partake in this experience. I have been looking for the courage to leave the comfort of my own nest as well (as a self professed people loving introvert,) to envelop others in a warm and safe environment. I believe to truly grow, we have to be willing to shed our skin and offer up a bit of vulnerability in exchange for the chance to fully bloom and come into our own. To help photographers reach their goals by helping them to listen to their own unique voice, a voice that begs to be heard but is sadly so often pushed away and squandered in fear… is my biggest goal. Friends, your work is so intertwined with just who you are. We tie our inner artist to our inner being and find ourselves vulnerable every time we share what we create. It is so easy to let the voices and the influences of others in– and it taints our ability to believe in ourselves and to trust our own true visions at times. It is terrifying to put yourself out there. I understand that as well as anyone. But this is your safe haven. I have the chance to sit across from women each year. Mentoring and nurturing other souls is something that has proved to be a huge blessing to me as well. I wanted to do this on an even grander scale. 2017 is going to be year that magic happens. Beautiful things are on the horizon and my biggest wish is for you to take my hand and join me.
Are you feeling like you are ready to take the next natural step and take your own leap of faith?

So, what exactly is this all about?
This is more than a workshop. It’s a one of a kind experience, a retreat into the Colorado mountains. It is a place of solidarity and friendship and inspiration. You will be staying alongside me in a 1950’s vintage cabin surrounded by majestic views, cozy touches and beautiful learning opportunities. I am your open book. This is an intimate experience with only 10 places open so that I can make sure to spend the time and attention I need on each woman that comes along on this journey. You will learn, but you will also do so much more. This will be a safe, warm environment full of inspiration to create and grow. I have been planning this for years and it ultimately came down to one thing. If I were to attend any given workshop, what would be the ultimate experience for me? What would make it the most rewarding?
Well this is everything I could possibly dream up and then some.
What is included:
-A riveting and beautiful experience.
This is not a formal retreat. Pack your favorite yoga pants/sweat pants/cozy pants of choosing. Bring those house shoes and that dry shampoo. We will make breakfast together every morning, take nature walks and explore our surroundings, breath in that fresh mountain air, have bits of down time in between all of the learning (there is even a hammock, folks!). Think a bunch of girlfriends sharing a love for photography and all things beautiful together. I want to hear your stories. This is meant to be reinvigorating. Whether you are slightly introverted like myself or completely outgoing, we are about creating a sisterhood with bonds so strong they last for years to come. I am here to teach you, but I am also here to hopefully support you and create something memorable for you.
-All main meals + some snacks (okay lots of snacks because it’s me.)
You are welcome to bring anything you want too though. Judgement free zone. If you do have any dietary restrictions or allergies please do let me know so I can be mindful of your needs. There will also be coffee, tea and wine.
-Lodging in the cutest 1950’s Colorado Cabin. This cabin is surrounded by glorious aspen trees + mountains and is AMAZING. it has cozy, homey touches and will be our backdrop for our sessions. You only need bring your heart, an open mind and your camera.
-TWO Amazing Shoots
1 Lifestyle Family session IN the cabin (and can I tell you I got the most AMAZING photographer to bring her family out for this), a Full Family session outside with the landscapes and mountains all around (yet again…another pretty epic family) + a bonus shoot (Headshots for your portfolio) You shoot right alongside me. I am here to help you with anything you need that extra bit of help with.
-20 Minute one-on-one time with each gal during our time together to reflect privately on any questions you may have pertinent to your business. We will peek at some of your work, have a little chat and get to the very bottom of what stirs your soul and fills the gaps in your business. This will be gentle but honest and a way to pin point some things that can help YOU flourish when you leave.
-A walk through of my full editing workflow from RAW to the finished images I would deliver to my client. You can bring your computer for this if you like, but it isn’t necessary.
-My full business/client workflow. I will share how I have built up my business and stood out in what seems to be a saturated market.
-Preparing for Family Sessions, Client interaction, Marketing, Session styling, Location Scouting and just about anything you would like to ask me.
-Personal sharing in regards to my own work/family unbalance haha. Honesty is everything though.
-Creative exercises to get the mind working in the most wondrous of ways.
-A Private Facebook group to get acquainted. The invitation for this goes out with 48 hours of you purchasing your spot.
-Sweet little Gifts! Because I just love to give presents.
-Friendships that will last you a lifetime.
