Words from previous workshop attendees

investment

Ticket includes all meals with the exception of one dinner out. Attendees are responsible for transportation to the Airbnb. Transpiration will be provided to and from the styled shoots. However, you are welcome to drive yourself.

All overnight spots for this workshop are full. You must arrange lodging for yourself if you choose to attend as of 3/5. The price below takes that into consideration and therefore is discounted.

Questions

who can attend this workshop?

This workshop is for women at any experience level. The only stipulation is that you must not live, primarily work in, or plan to relocate to any city within 1.5 hrs of Cape Coral, Florida within 12 months of attending my workshop.

There are many people in my immediate area who have expressed interest in attending a workshop with me. As someone who aims to make all women feel welcome, I hate having to place this stipulation. I thought long and hard before making this decision. 

At this current time, photography education is only a small piece of my business. I make 80% of my revenue from photoshoots ,and since I am just starting to build a solid client base in FL and I am an open book, telling all my business secrets and strategies at my workshops, I don't feel comfortable giving competitors or future competitor an inside look at my business at this time. I am certain this will change as I grow as an educator and rely on shooting less but thank you for respecting this difficult decision in the meantime. 

Where's the closest airport

The closest airport is the Jacksonville International Airport.

I live in the area, can I stay at my home instead of the airbnb?

Yes! You are more than welcome to stay at your own home. However, if you are attending all educational portions of the workshop, you will need to pay the same price as the other attendees.

How can i get from the airport to the airbnb?

Uber and Lyft are both available in this area or you can rent a car. We will have a private group for attendees so you can meet up and take Uber/Lyft together or split the cost of a rental.

what if I don't know anyone?

I get it, it can be scary and intimidating to attend an event like this. I (Sarah - the most paranoid person in the world) attended my first overnight out-of-town photography event at the age of 25. I didn't know a soul. I flew from Fort Myers, Florida to Palm Springs California, rented a car, roomed with a 47 year old woman I met in the event's Facebook group, and then drove over to the coast and flew out of LAX on Super Bowl Weekend (while the Super Bowl was being hosted in LA). If I can do that, you can do this! Plus you have something I didn't have, a friend (ME!) here to help you the entire way. 

Can I Make Payments?

Yes! After the $500 retainer has been paid, the remaining amount can be paid in increments. You can also pay in full if you would like to.

Got More Questions? 

Feel free to reach out to me (Sarah) on socials (linked above) with any questions you may have.
I am here for you!  

p.s. this adorable couple will be modeling again this year!
