The Artful Portrait Experience Dream it. Create it. Refine it. Sell it. Great portraits don't happen by accident. They begin with an idea, a spark of inspiration... a vision. From there, every decision matters: styling, light, posing, editing, and ultimately how you present and market your work.

For over 30 years, I've built a career creating portraits that are artistic, emotional, and deeply

personal. In this four day immersive experience, I'm opening the doors to the complete process behind my work, from the first spark of inspiration to the final image and the business that supports it. We'll explore where creative ideas come from, how to develop concepts that feel intentional and meaningful, and how to create portraits that go beyond simply documenting a subject.

You'll learn how I approach styling, storytelling, lighting, posing, editing, and creating images with impact. We'll photograph live models, work through real-world scenarios, and dive into the techniques I use to create the artful portraiture my business has become known for.

But creating beautiful images is only part of the story. On our final day, we'll shift gears and talk about the business side of photography. I'll share the marketing strategies, client experience techniques, and lessons I've learned over more than three decades in business that have helped me build a profitable and sustainable photography career.

Whether you're looking to elevate your creativity, gain confidence with lighting, refine your editing skills, or strengthen your business foundation, this class is designed to help you grow as both an artist and a photographer.

If you've ever wondered how all the pieces fit together, this is the class where we'll connect them.
