Meet your guest speaker/photography educator Brooke Holliday

Brooke is a world recognized film photographer specializing in motherhood sessions. She is currently planning to demonstrate and lead a motherhood session for us that includes children ages 4- 9 years old. It will be incredibly valuable as she shares her heartfelt intentional process with us especially directing sessions with older children. Brooke has been featured in over a dozen publications around the globe and is recognized as an expert in her field. As a true artist who values slowing down and honoring the quiet, fleeting moments of motherhood I am thrilled to have her join us.

The WHY behind the retreat

Most photographers start their business dreaming of meaningful work that connects deeply- with their clients, their art and with themselves.

Over time, the day to day of running and growing a business, managing life and navigating personal growth can easily pull you out of alignment. After a busy season of meeting everyone’s needs you can feel disconnected from the purpose that first inspired you. The Aligned Motherhood Photography Retreat is intentionally designed to pull you back to your deepest WHY and re-spark meaning in your art and business. We will spend two fully immersive days with reflection, intentional learning and styled motherhood sessions so you can step into the next season with clarity, grounding and confidence, with community by your side. This retreat is equal parts growth and rejuvenation. 

Photographer Testimonials!

While this is the first ever over night retreat, here is what photographers who have attended previous full day workshops with me have had to say about their experience.

It was so special to capture two pregnant and breastfeeding mamas as well as two shower sessions. The venue was so gorgeous — full of natural light — and the food was so thoughtful and delicious. The models were lovely to work with and so appreciative that we were able to capture these special moments.

The small group allowed for all of us to get a lot of time with each of the model families. When trying something new that amount of time we get to practice really helps so I appreciated that it was under 7 people.

Highlights were to take a photo of something new (taking a photo in the bath & shower was something new to me). If I must pick one.... the most valuable part of the workshop was the hands on practice - that I was able to shadow you, the camera settings, your feedback on my work. That was very valuable to me. The way you conduct a session with the client, the angle you shoot, camera setting. Everything was so perfect! The house, attendees, your workshop contents...I was so glad that I decided to join your workshop. You were so nice and open. You were very helpful. It was so nice that I was able to shadow you and we all got an opportunity to shoot. Thank you!!!

What I loved most was letting go of overthinking and just being present—using the setting as it was ( guided) and capturing the family as they were.
