You didn’t build your dream business to burn out chasing clients who don’t value you — or to feel disconnected from the work you once loved.
→Are you struggling to attract clients who truly get you? The ones who love your style, respect your process, and are excited to work with you?
→ Are you finally doing what you love... but you're still struggling to get fully booked without burning out in the process?
→ Have you been feeling disconnected from the work you used to love? Wondering where the passion went?
Meet your host
I hit my first 6 figure year as a photographer during covid. This was not because I was "that good" at taking the photos, it was because I was that good at selling. I also was good at being the "yes girl". This lead me to burn out! After years of struggling with burnout and learning the hard way, I cracked the code on how to scale my business in a small town, charging premium rates while protecting my time. My intent behind this retreat is to help photographers like you find freedom and fulfillment in your work— while not burning out in the process. You can have it all and I can’t wait to see you accomplish just that!

I'm here to help you build the photography business of your dreams.
Meet your host
After writing my first short story at 9 years old, and completing a degeree in Creative Writing, I’ve spent the last 15 years falling more and more in love with wedding photography. I am passionate about creating images that are more than just beautiful—they’re honest, emotional, and rooted in meaning. As a lifelong-learner, I am dedicated to helping photograpers discover their own stories to leverage their unique voice and perspective. Your story will shape your craft and business, attract ideal clients who share your misson and turn them into enthusiastic supporters and fans.

Fancy a few bonuses?
It’s time to step away from the hustle and step into a business (and life) that feels aligned.
You’re booked, but burned out. You need space to breathe, reset, and build a business that actually feels good.
I had finally HIT THE INCOME GOAL I WANTED, but I realized quickly that i had also hit burn out!
I had finally hit the income goal I’d been chasing. The one I thought would mean I’d finally made it. On paper, everything looked like a dream: fully booked calendar, steady income, growing reputation.
But behind the scenes?
I was overwhelmed, overworked, and teetering on the edge of burnout. I had built the business I thought I wanted… but it was running me instead of the other way around. That’s when I knew something had to change! Now it is my mission to help all the photographers who are on the same path that I was on.
I am hosting a retreat that gives you the space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with why you started in the first place - alongside other like-minded women who just get it — is exactly what you need to start the next chapter of your journey with clarity and confidence.
So join us in June for the Booked With Boundaries Retreat — a space to reset, realign, and rebuild your business in a way that actually feels good.

Who is this retreat for?
Still have questions?
This retreat is designed for photographers who are ready to get off the hustle hamster wheel, create healthy boundaries, and build a business that’s both profitable and sustainable. Whether you're full-time or scaling up, you'll leave with clarity and next-level strategy.
Do I need to be an established photographer to attend?
Nope! This retreat is for photographers at any stage who are feeling the weight of burnout, struggling to set boundaries, or simply craving a more aligned, sustainable way to do business.
What’s the refund or cancellation policy?
Because spots are extremely limited and the experience is carefully curated, all retreat payments are non-refundable. However, if you're unable to attend, you may transfer your spot to another approved attendee.
What if I’m introverted or nervous about coming alone?
So many women come to retreats solo — and they leave with real friendships and biz besties. This space is designed to be welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free. You’re not just joining a retreat… you’re joining a community.
What’s included in the retreat?
Your retreat ticket includes meals while we are in sessions, daily business strategy sessions, a brand clarity session, behind-the-scenes content from a personal content creator, and access to all group experiences and styled moments. Plus a few luxe surprises 😉 And depending on if you upgrade your ticket (lodging)
Will I have time to relax?
Absolutely. This retreat was intentionally designed to create space for both strategy and stillness. Expect plenty of downtime to reflect, connect, and recharge.
Is this a retreat or a workshop?
It’s both — with a twist. You’ll get deep-dive education and strategic guidance like a workshop, but in an intimate, restful setting that allows for true transformation. This is not about information overload — it’s about aligned action.
Is there a payment plan available??
Yes! I offer flexible payment plans to make this retreat more accessible. You can secure your spot with a deposit, then split the remaining balance into monthly payments. If you need a custom plan, just reach out — we’ll make it work!
count me in!
