A WORKSHOP LEANING INTO THE WARM AND GENTLE SIDE OF BOUDOIR
FEYRE /fay-ruh/ meaning beautiful
WE CELEBRATE THE DELICATE POSE, LIGHT FALLING OVER THEIR SKIN, EMOTION AND CONFIDENCE IN THE EXPRESSION, AND ALLLL THE BODY LANGUAGE. BUT THE BEST PART FOR OUR CLIENTS? THE REAL IMPACT IS EVEN DEEPER THAN THESE BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS.
HOW ARE WE CREATING A SPACE TO CAPTURE TENDER, NATURAL AND EXPRESSIVE IMAGES?
HOW ARE WE CONNECTING WITH CLIENTS AND WHY ARE THEY REFERRING THEIR LOVED ONES, BEFORE EVEN SEEING THEIR FINAL IMAGES?!
HOW ARE WE EDITING THESE IMAGES?
HOW DOES MARY USE THAT DANG STROBE AND SNOOT TO CREATE ARTIFICIAL WINDOW LIGHT?!
WE'LL SHARE OUR THEORY BEHIND CLIENT EXPERIENCE, AND WHY CLIENTS TRUST US, AND THE PROCESS, BEFORE WE EVEN MEET IN REAL LIFE.
WE'LL SHARE OUR OWN UNIQUE POSING BASICS, TRICKS, TIPS AND VERBIAGE THAT WE USE TO HELP CLIENTS RELAX.
ASHLEY WILL LEAD AN EDITING LESSON, WHERE YOU'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE HER WORK ON FILES FROM YOURSELF AND OTHER ATTENDEES!
YOU'LL OBSERVE EACH OF US WORKING ONE ON ONE WITH A MODEL TO GET A PEEK INTO HOW WE CREATE A POSING FLOW.
MARY WILL EXPLAIN HOW TO USE A PROFESSIONAL STROBE SYSTEM, AND HOW TO ADD THE SNOOT ATTACHMENT TO RECREATE FUN AND UNIQUE WINDOW LIGHT!
THEN WE'LL WORK THROUGH POSING IN SMALL GROUPS, WHERE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO PHOTOGRAPH 4 DIVERSE MODELS IN 4 UNIQUE SETS!
THIS GENRE OF PHOTOGRAPHY IS INCREDIBLY INTIMATE, IMPACTFUL AND SPECIAL. WE TRULY BELIEVE THAT WE CAN CHANGE INTERNAL DIALOGUES WITH THIS EXPERIENCE. IT'S A RIPPLE EFFECT OUT INTO THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!
SOOOO, CLEARLY WE'RE REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT IT ALL, HENCE THE EXCLAMATION POINTS! AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO! (I mean, we kinda know that you already are if you're here!)

Client comfort is absolutely the number one barometer of success here, and we will be analyzing the 'why' behind the posing direction, JUST as much as we are documenting it.
If you're looking to really tap into the emotional connection to your work, to your client, and to your purpose, then this is the workshop for you. If you're looking for in depth pricing advice, bookkeeping or accounting information, then this workshop may not be the right match.
Because you will have the opportunity to take photos, and collect content for your portfolio, a thorough working knowledge of your camera is recommended.
We know you're here for a reason, and your clients do too 🖤
