February 18th and 19th, 2025
NEW ORLEANS
In only two days walk away with a swoon-worthy portfolio of new images that looks like it took you months to build.
The perfect place to rediscover your
love of photography and to reignite your creative spark.
IMAGINE IF...
►You knew how to profitably price your work and had the confidence to do it?
►You could turn your empty inbox into quality inquiries ready to work with you.
►Had a precise roadmap of what to do and exactly how to do it.
►You knew exactly what to say to magnetically attract your dream clients.
On Day One I will walk you through the exact steps you need to attract dream clients + fill your calendar with clients who can't get enough of your work.
Day Two features guest speaker Hunter Leone
of award-winning Three Nails Photography
Hunter will be spending the entire second day of the
workshop with us styling + posing with styled models
and fresh florals from a local florist.
Struggle with Posing?
We will show you our juiciest posing tips with models as
well as how to style clients for images they love to buy.
Dozens of designer dresses will be hand-chosen to bring out the best in the model and the location for this event.
The Workshop Location
If you want your images to feel like
you’ve stumbled into the most charming European estate hidden-in-plain sight–
You’ve landed in the right place.
Race + Religious is a venue like no other; with artfully arranged artifacts and surprising vignettes around every corner and filled with the Spirit of New Orleans.
The quirky beauty of R+R has set the scene for Anthropologie Catalogs, Coca-cola commercials, feature films, famous cookbooks, and popular music videos.
THIS location has been on my photoshoot or workshop location bucket list since 2011 and it took 5 years trying to book a spot I finally got in in 2024 -- don't miss out on your chance to shoot with me here in 2025!
I want to echo what others told me before I shot here, ITS EVEN BETTER THAN THE PICTURES SHOW -- and they were absolutely right. Everywhere you turn is another wall, texture, spot, cove, knook, room, stairs ...that is bathed in beautiful light. This location is worth all the hype and then some.
There will be both indoor and outdoor shooting at this workshop for a more robust portfolio.
Note: there are stairs at this location
Each of the two workshop days will end in a 2.5 hour fully styled shoot (models + locals/sets styled) in which we can fully explore the full property.
Attract new high-end clients with your fresh portfolio
The workshop models will be from ages 8 - 28, a small family, bride, wedding couple models.
Some models will be changing out of their dresses into more subdued, everyday, or trendy wear so attendees can easily duplicate the looks for their clients at home.
This way, attendees can immediately earn back
their workshop investment and implement
all they learned at the workshop.
Branding Session
Walk away with new images of YOU for your social media or website.
All optional, of course!
The second day of the workshop will begin with us gathering for a branding session with one another utilizing this unique and beautiful location.
This was everyone's FAVORITE part of 2024's NOLA Workshop, hands down.
We connected, we laughed, we felt empathy for our clients on the other side of the camera AND we got amazing images of one another.
The images the attendees captured of one
another are GORGEOUS. And it was fun!
Testimonial
"I have attended other “styled shoots”, but only walked away with just a few pretty photos and still having those negative feelings of being inadequate and comparing myself to other photographers. Then I saw The NOLA Workshop. I knew that the location of Race and Religious would provide amazing results. However, I walked away with so much more than beautiful photographs.
Skye was absolutely amazing in reaching the root cause of obstacles that we as artists place in our own way preventing our businesses from thriving and growing. I wasn’t sure what to expect at the beginning, but by the first slide, it felt as though she saw exactly what has been going through my head and the wide range of internal emotions in my heart. For the first time, I felt seen. She saw all that I have tried so hard to hide from others. At the shoot location, she brought together great artistry in styling, hair and make up along with talented models. Additionally, I was able to connect with other photographers not only professionally but also through mutual energy and becoming friends even clear across the country.
At the end of these two days, not only do I have an entire portfolio of breathtaking photographs, I have a better inner outlook for my business and myself. I am incorporating the phrase “What if it turns out great?”, in my business and in my life. I am kinder to myself, my artistry, and my business to no longer be afraid to be seen. I definitely will be adding her podcast to my playlist and am definitely considering attending another one of her workshops in the future!

Testimonial
"I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the workshop in Louisiana! I have been wanting to attend one of your workshops for the last ten years!
Somewhere along the way I got lost. I ventured away from the kind of portraits that I wanted to take and I moved towards newborns. I love babies, but it is not my passion. You said so many things that gave me that light bulb moment. Like how did I drift away from that? Why did i stop? I think maybe it was all the things you mentioned. Fear of being seen. Fear of not being good enough. Not having the money or the support. But it made me really sit down with myself. I have asked myself a lot of hard questions. I don't think I would have done that if it weren't for you.
I wish I hadn't waited so long to do a workshop with you! I have never felt so alive as when I was able to go from room to room and just photograph all these beautiful young ladies. I laid in bed after that and just thought about the possibilities and what I could do the next day! It was like it lit a fire in my brain. This is absolutely what I want to do. And now I am reorganizing my business. My whole life I have put everyone else first. Now I am going to focus on the things that bring me happiness. I am older now, and it has become even more important to me that I spend the time that I have helping and serving others.
I loved this workshop so much that I have already booked the next one. I look forward to learning more and inspiring other photographers the way you did for me! It was truly a pleasure!"
