Snapshot Destination Workshops are designed for photographers who want more than a styled shoot. These experiences combine portfolio-building opportunities with hands-on education, giving you both the images and the skills to elevate your client work.
We focus on helping you capture photographs that feel polished and editorial while showing you how to direct and communicate with clients quickly and effectively. Alongside shooting, you’ll gain insight into what it takes to position yourself as a recognized photographer in the senior industry, all while creating work that resonates with your future clients.
Our workshops are intentionally small so that we can connect personally with each attendee, understand your goals, and work directly with you in the areas where you want growth. Every detail—venues, models, styling, and education—is curated to give you an experience that’s thoughtful, inspiring, and unforgettable.
We’re not your typical workshop…
We’re here to deliver the ultimate experience! Every single day is packed with shooting opportunities because we know that when you travel for an event, you want to feel inspired and do what you love most: SHOOT!
Our models change into multiple outfits throughout the day, giving you endless variety and ensuring your portfolio is brimming with fresh, dynamic content.
But that’s not all—past attendees are always blown away by just how much they come home with! From stunning images to behind-the-scenes content and new skills, you’ll leave with way more than you ever expected.
This isn’t just about pretty pictures—it’s about filling those SD cards to the brim, leveling up your craft and creating the kind of work that turns heads. Get ready to be inspired, learn and build a portfolio that sets your business apart!
What to Expect
Welcome Dinner + Group Meals
Connection starts the moment you arrive. We host a welcome dinner to introduce everyone, followed by group lunches and shared breaks throughout the workshop. These meals create space for conversations, friendships, and collaboration.
Hands-On Education
This is not a watch-and-shoot format. You’ll actively learn posing, movement, and direction while practicing in varied lighting scenarios—from soft golden hour to strong midday sun. The goal is to leave confident in your ability to handle any client session with efficiency and ease.
1:1 Shooting Time
Every attendee has individual time with each styled model. You’ll leave with images that feel truly your own and receive immediate, practical feedback during your time behind the camera.
Styled Models in Dream Outfits
Our models are styled in looks that are current, aspirational, and completely relatable to the clients you want to attract. The styling ensures your portfolio feels modern, editorial, and highly marketable.
Personalized Support
We work side by side with you throughout the workshop—answering questions, offering direction, and helping refine your approach so you can take what you’ve learned straight back to your business.
Snapshot Destination Workshops provide the opportunity to completely refresh your portfolio with stunning images captured in unique, thoughtfully styled locations. Showcase your creativity, enhance your branding and attract your ideal clients with a portfolio that stands out. Plus, gain exposure and insights to help elevate your business and connect with your target audience in a meaningful way.
Who should attend?
Snapshot destination workshops are ideal for senior photographers, portrait photographers, and even those looking to build a fashion or model-focused portfolio. Whether you’re refining your style or expanding your offerings, this experience will help you create a diverse, stand-out portfolio that speaks directly to your ideal clients.
Clients crave unique, eye-catching images tailored just for them—and this is your chance to deliver exactly that. With expertly styled shoots in incredible locations, you’ll have everything you need to showcase your talent and provide options your clients have never seen before.
