The Cultivate Memories Course
- $2,499

Discover what it is like to truly love how you look in front of the camera by blooming within yourself. Allow your soul to evoke powerful lasting impressions that shine through your lens and capture what your life is like at this current stage. Being in front of the camera is sometimes a struggle, it feels daunting and discouraging, but I promise as you start creating self-portrait work you will find confidence, grace and discover new angles of how to truly love the stage you're mentally and physically in. 

This course was designed for anyone looking to take their own photos. We stopped paying other photographers to take our family photos over 11 years ago. We stopped for many reasons, but one of the main ones was that I never felt beautiful being captured in the way that I was. I started doing self-portrait work so that I too could bloom with beauty, find confidence within myself and show my children that we are created to be exactly who we are. And let's be honest… With the amount of photos we take I could never afford that many sessions! 

The Cultivating Memories Course isn’t like anything you have ever purchased. This is a step by step guide on how to think outside of the box, to be creative and learn new skills. Not only will you be able to photograph yourself and or your family by the end of the course, you will also be able to implement new techniques into your client work. One thing I have learned through self-portrait work is that it is easier to test out new ideas on yourself, learn from your “mistakes” and then curate those ideas into your client workflow. 

So let’s start blooming together and create lasting memories that turn to photographs.
