When I was in the thick of raising littles and running my business, I never had the time to do the things I wanted to do to improve or grow my business...because laundry and carpools and all the things that come with working from home snuck into all my free time.
Do you know when I could work on the things? When I got out of the house and away from all my daily tasks.
Retreats became my way of investing in myself and my business and getting the things DONE!
And that's where The Focused Path Retreat was born – so, you can get away and work on your business without all the distractions of home + get the support you need.
Photography retreats reimagined with a different focus at each retreat.
the ultimate girls' getaway with learning AND down time to relax
personalized, small group instruction (4-5 participants)
photos for your portfolio, website and social media
tools and skills on the topic being covered at the retreat – each retreat is on a different topic
an amazing community because there's nothing like photography besties
What you'll gain...
