I am an editorial film + digital photographer providing my services all throughout Australian, New Zealand, Thailand and destinations worldwide. I offer high end, service-orientated, personable experiences for weddings, elopements, and couples photography. Through combined wisdom and masterful storytelling, these workshop retreat experiences are for wedding, event, and portrait photographers who want to dive in deep and take their professional photography skills and personal growth to the next level.
Spark Workshop: Sparking Creativity and Community
We are so honored and excited that you are considering joining us at Spark Workshop on February 1-4, 2022 in St. Augustine, Florida. Spark Workshop was created by two friends who also happen to be wedding photographers, Kristina & Oksana. We share a love for wedding photography but also a passion for helping others grow their businesses. Together, we designed a workshop with the goal to spark creativity, boost your confidence, and grow your community so you can serve your clients well!
A few topics you can expect at Spark Workshop are:
- Attracting ideal clients
- Branding and marketing
- Client experience and work/life balance
- Posing, flash & lighting
- A live styled shoot
Airport pickups will be scheduled for February 1st at 2pm from the Jacksonville International Airport (JAX). We will all be staying at an airbnb together in Historic St. Augustine, FL. Because we want this workshop to be intimate and allow each attendee the ability to have one on one time with each host as well as time to have live Q & A’s each evening, spots available are limited. The $600 fee includes ALL of the education and fun that we have prepared, your 3 night stay at the Airbnb, breakfast and coffee/tea for the entirety of the workshop.
EVOLVE: Advanced Professional Growth and Masterful Storytelling
With over 15 years of experience, Jos and Tree are facilitating powerful experiences for photographers to EVOLVE their craft. We will give you everything we’ve learned over the past 15 years and invite you to examine everything you do (and don’t do). Most importantly, there will be lots of hands-on challenges with quality time to practice skills and refine perspectives. There will be round table discussions where everyone can discuss how they aren’t afraid to fail, share the best of the best insights/tips/tricks, and engage in conversations about life, weddings, work, marketing, business and more.
Italy | EVOLVE EXPERIENCE: The Ultimate Retreat
Come join us in Italy!!! This is seriously a ONCE in a LIFETIME experience. Fundamentally different from your typical photography workshop, this will be a deep dive into personal growth, unrealized creativity, and core business values. You’ll watch your photography and marketing skills leap to the next level while your mind opens up and ultimately nurture yourself. We’ll learn how to market ourselves authentically and we’ll hone in on our goals and dreams for the next 5 years while creating visions that can be realized through step-by-step planning.
Specialized Photography Bootcamps and Aspiring Photographer Programs
In addition to our EVOLVE workshops, we have recently added two new workshops. This is THE complete workshop & portfolio bootcamp for wedding photographers. Our WINTER WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY Bootcamp will create a full winter wedding ceremony and challenging creative portraits with a real wedding couple. We will share everything we know, create a supportive and positive training experience and challenge everyone to grow.
For those just starting, Weddings 101 is an immersive workshop for aspiring wedding photographers. Our mission was to provide the tools, guidance, and cheerleader enthusiasm for any aspiring wedding photographers in Metro Detroit hoping to take their business to the next level. We rallied with some of our favorite wedding professionals to pull off the most magnificent, citrus inspired spring editorial.
