The first thing you should know is this won't be your average photography workshop. Having attended many workshops ourselves and seen what is offered for these types of events, we've endeavored to create a workshop unlike any other. A workshop that includes all the things we all love about existing workshops and more importantly the aspects that we feel are seriously lacking in these type of events. What does that mean? It means all the beautifully curated styled shoots to shoot and add to your portfolio BUT ALSO building out aspects of a workshop that grow, stretch and celebrate you as the individual and unique artist you are! Our ultimate goal is that when you look back on these three days you spent with us, you can honestly say they were the most empowering, fun and transformational few days of your entire career.
We don't want to just leave your portfolio better off but you as a person, creative and business owner.
Beautiful Santa Barbara CA, also known as The American Riviera!
We have secured the most incredible private estate in Santa Barbara for you to stay at! With a pool and a pretty epic backyard! Not to mention the extraordinary places we will be hosting styled shoots! It will be unreal!
Your ticket price includes sleeping arrangements at the private Montecito estate for the night of the 11th, 12th, and 13th. We’re having an optional day on the 14th that you can come to as well! The 14th will be a casual fun beach day for everyone just to hang out and enjoy each other! We thought it would be the best way of finishing the weekend! All meals are included during our stay together at the estate - They will include vegetarian and gluten-free options for all meals, if you have any other dietary sensitivities, the estate has a kitchen that you are welcome to hold food in, if you require. :)
Once you arrive at the house, we’ll provide the rest of the transportation for the week.
In figuring out how to get to Santa Barbara, there are a few different ways to make that happen! You can fly into Los Angeles (LAX) or Santa Barbara (SBA), but LAX is typically less expensive. You can then take the Santa Barbara Airbus directly to SB and meet us. If you want to fly into SBA, the Uber ride from the airport is only $10. If you’re wanting to rent a car, we might ask that you carpool with a few people as our property only allows 6 cars total.
