Why is this the workshop you should attend this year?
As a photographer, you work hard every day to achieve a portfolio of which you can be proud. Maria is passionate about helping ambitious photographers gain the confidence and knowledge they need to grow in their photography journey and develop a successful business.
The shooting portions will be instructional. I want you to listen and learn, and focus on capturing what I ask of you, rather then approaching it as a portfolio building shoot.

What we will cover
Shooting with instruction
Our photography shootouts are tailored to teach you how we accomplish the photographic shots that clients love. We ask that you show up with the desire to learn and not to just get a shot, or pose a model. The goal isn’t for you to have more portfolio images, but to shoot with intention, learn from the instructors in order to recreate these types of sessions, and then make them better and unique to you. It’s instructing and demonstrating, followed by shooting (one person at a time) so that EVERYONE can get a great shot. We want you to push yourself and we challenge you to get different images from those of everyone else.
Post Processing
Maria will walk you through her editing workflow from start to finish using hand-editing tools. After each shootout, we will be practicing retouching and you will be able to edit along with her.
Shooting with intention
The goal is to show you how you can shoot for sales! So that you can walk away not only improving your photography but understanding that you can make a living from photography.
“ I wanted to say that this was an amazing workshop! It was organized, full of content and inspiration. It was attended by fabulous women who brought only their desire to learn and create!❤️”
