Back in October, for the FIRST TIME in my photography career, I traveled across the country to invest in myself as an artist AND my business at the #DreamMakers retreat at #ZionNationalPark, Utah.

Learning from three of THE MOST TALENTED family photographers (Stormy Solis Photography, Sweet Beginnings Photography by Stephanieand Jodi Lynn Photography), I was one of 17 ladies who had this opportunity of a lifetime to glean wisdom, support and encouragement while also connecting with other creatives who share a similar passion.

I know I am WAY late in sharing these images, but I promise I have a valid excuse! 😂 It was upon leaving this workshop I became VERY ill as I was entering my sixth week of pregnancy. Nausea and fatigue coupled with my BUSIEST season for my business forced me to put all this non-client (unpaid🤣) editing on the back burner. 

But alas, here’s the first set of images from our very first shoot led by Stephanie Tetreault and Jodi Lynn Buckles, focused on capturing self portraits of our fellow attendees. 

The photos of me were taken by the beautiful Terri Fairbanks, while all the others were taken by me <3
