A family photography retreat for getting brave, getting clear & going after more
Are you ready to go deeper?
Elevate
You’re good at what you do, your business is established… but you know you’re capable of more. More clients you genuinely connect with, more confidence in your value, and more creative work that makes you excited to pick up your camera. (And yes, more time to actually enjoy your life too.)
The Elevate retreat is for photographers who’ve been doing this for a while, who are good at what they do but know there’s another level waiting for them. It’s about fine tuning your style, levelling up your portfolio, and getting really clear on how to run your business in a way that feels good and makes sense personally and financially.
You’ll be surrounded by photographers who are at the same stage, ready for honest conversations, fresh ideas, and the kind of support that sticks with you long after the retreat ends.
If you want this to be the year that you finally commit to:
Elevating your portfolio and refining your shooting style to match your creative vision.
Creating pricing and packages that truly align with the value of your work.
Marketing yourself with confidence to attract clients who appreciate your artistic vision.
Mastering advanced techniques for timeless, emotive family portraits.
Letting go of creative blocks, learning to relax, break the rules, and create art that feels alive.
Making an actual plan for the next year that you believe in and gives you butterflys.

Over two immersive days, you’ll create stunning portfolio images focused on in-home family and motherhood photography. Each beautifully curated shoot will centre around storytelling and connection in a luxe location designed to both elevate your portfolio and give you fresh, practical skills to take away.
Near Henley and Maidenhead
Through relaxed, focused sessions, you’ll reflect on where you are right now and we'll pinpoint what needs your attention most.
Whether that’s pricing, client experience, socials, your website, portfolio, brand awareness, local marketing or anything else that will make the biggest difference for you.
But it’s not just about beautiful images. We’ll dive into the business side too.
If you're quietly plodding along wondering
"is this it? "
this photography retreat is just what you need.
And it isn’t about a quick burst of inspiration that fades after a week. It’s about getting clear on what’s truly worth your time and energy and what you’re ready to leave behind.
You’ll be surrounded by photographers at a similar stage, having real conversations, swapping ideas, and supporting each other to build businesses that feel genuinely good to run.
That’s what this retreat offers: not just advice, but space to reflect, make decisions, new friendships and shape a business that works for you.
success stories
Adele needed to find her people and loved tailored advice.
"I came away from the workshop with a new sense of positivity and drive"
...knowing that I too could create a successful business with the support of you, and like minded friends made from the workshop cheering me on! You provided it all…business advice, practical shooting tips, posing and technical settings, incredible models and locations."
Getting time as an individual to get tailored help and support based on where you were in your career in a supportive, achievable way was exactly what I needed.
real reviews
Louise was transformed
"It was such a transformative weekend for me personally
...and I'm so excited to put everything you taught me into action over the next couple of months. THANK YOU for organising, hosting, teaching, mentoring, making us laugh, for bringing together such a lovely group of people...
Amy wants to do it all again.
"I learnt so much even in the downtime"
with everyone. It also takes me a little time to 'warm up' so it was nice to be able to have the time to do that.
I genuinely miss everyone already! I feel inspired by everyone. My brain is full! but l am so excited to put it all into practice.
Who you surround yourself with in life matters and this should also be the same for your business.
Aside from my business, I'm a married mama of 3 kids and have been a specialist family and baby photographer for over 13 years plus teaching other photographers in person and online 1-2-1 and via workshops and retreats for over 6 years.
Around the school runs, the night feeds and all the bits in between, I've grown my business around my lifestyle and figured out my own parameters of success, amongst the life juggles. I know what it takes to 'make it' in this industry and stay here. I absolutely adore helping others realise their potential and would love to meet you!
I used to feel, stuck, stale and frustrated.
There have been chapters in my business where, even with lovely clients and steady bookings, things didn’t always feel aligned. On the surface, everything looked fine but underneath, I sometimes felt disconnected from my own work. Like I was on a treadmill.
I’d pour hours into demanding edits, posting on social and finish feeling flat. Because I was giving more than I was getting back, both energy-wise and financially.
but nowI know how to help!
i can help because i've been there
So I stopped saying yes to everything
Instead I started shaping my business around the work and clients that really lit me up inside.
I tweaked how (and where!) I showed up, how I priced my services, and gave myself space to create for the sake of it. This changed everything. More energy, better balance, easier socials and work that felt exciting again.
“The most amazing workshop, i'm exhausted, but it was so worth it. My confidence has grown in every aspect & i've made so many friends”
