Whether it’s one-on-one mentorships, styled shoots or multi-day photography retreats, investing in your own growth is an incredible way to see the growth that you’ve been chasing! I offer a variety of options for photographers of all levels including virtual calls and my work through the Aglow Retreat program!
With over 8 years of experience in the industry, I am more than happy to share all of the advice, techniques and knowledge that I have accumulated over the years that has allowed me to turn my love of art and travel into a full-time career. As someone who is so passionate about having a profession that fills you with joy, I would be honored to help you achieve that joy too.
One-on-one mentorships are a great option for photographers of all levels looking to grow their business through personalized sessions designs to target your needs. We’ll meet up over a fresh cup of coffee (or a Zoom call) and cater the conversation to your precise goals through Q&A style dialogue. These sessions can be a short one-off discussion or scheduled regular meetings over the course of a few months, accompanied by styled shoots designs to help you practice the skills with real life couples and gain real portfolio content!
That's why we've created a safe, inclusive environment where you can ask questions, share experiences, and foster meaningful relationships. Whether you're looking to elevate your business, explore new creative techniques, or simply find a supportive community of like-minded professionals, Aglow Retreat is the place to do it.
Join us for a transformative experience where education meets inspiration, and where every voice is heard and valued. Together, we'll celebrate our differences, support each other's journeys, and leave the retreat not just as better photographers, but as stronger allies and friends.
The Aglow Retreat is more than just a photography workshop—it's a celebration of diversity, education and friendship. Designed for photographers who are passionate about both their craft and their community, this retreat offers a unique space where everyone is welcome and encouraged to grow.
Do what sets your heart aglow
Wherever the Aglow Retreat takes us, you can guarantee the locations will be amazing. We work with a combination of incredible Airbnb stays, professional wedding venues and scenic, one-of-a-kind locations to create a unique and powerful experience, both for the time you spend behind the camera and the time you spend exploring.
All of our events are designed to foster real relationships between our photographers, vendors, educators and models! We build in group dinners, cocktail hours, fun adventures and downtime that is meant to create long-lasting friendships and memories that you’ll cherish long after the retreat ends.
Our retreats contain an array of styled shoots with thoughtful details provided by professional wedding vendors. Each shoot is carefully planned and executed to mimic real-world weddings, elopements and sessions, so that the content you create can be used again and again!
At Aglow, we exclusively work with model couples who are BIPOC, LGBTQ+ or represent other historically under-represented communities. We also prioritize working with diverse models and seek to create a space where all identities are represented, affirmed and celebrated! As allies, we are committed to continuing our own education and growth as well and evolving the space to continue to be the best it can be!
Tune in late 2024 to see where we are headed next!

“I felt so scared to come not knowing anybody, but I felt so included right away and feel like I found some of my people. I’ve never been to another retreat before this one, but I’ll recommend it over and over again!”

As the ticket winner for last year’s Aglow, I was blown away at the details of the retreat and the inclusivity. I had a blast and made lifelong friends. It was a no-brainer to invest in Aglow 3.0. There were even better details, concepts, truly everything was elevated. But I want to say a special point on the education that Steph and Andi brought to us. It changed my entire business and was everything I needed. They gave us top notch speakers and resources. The knowledge I got to take home with me was incomparable to anything at any other retreat I’ve attended.

When I first showed up I thought I had made a huge mistake. I was waaaay out of my comfort zone and didn’t know anybody and was really anxious. By the next morning I made friends for life.My favorite parts were hanging poolside in the evening with everybody and photographing in the desert! Indiana photographing girly.. so the scenery was really great for my portfolio!

In a few short days you go from being nervous about being a stranger to leaving feeling like a family. You inspire each other and learn from each other and build lifelong connections. It is incredible. One of the biggest gifts for me is the confidence it builds. This retreat helped me remember my reason and my passion. Being able to shoot in new places is such an amazing part too. Different light, different backdrops, new pieces of the world to explore and fall in love with.
