it’s time to untether yourself from the norm.

What is the UnTethered Retreat?
UnTethered will marry art, business, connection and inspiration to free you from wondering “how is she doing it?”
You will learn how to create more artful imagery through connecting with your clients. You will have two portfolio building opportunities with a maternity session and a mother/child session. We will discuss business from encouraging clients to purchase heirloom products through you to designing a thoughtful client experience. You will see firsthand how we edit images from out of the camera to heirloom print ready.
The retreat is designed to be engaging, rich in spirit, and filled with tangible tips you will be able to implement right into your business.
Who is UnTethered for?
The UnTethered retreat is designed for photographers who are looking to be inspired, connect and grow as a woman owned businesses. Let’s unbind ourselves from the tethers of social comparison by joining together to learn and grow.
