The Premier Food Blogger Conference and Community for content creators
Food content creation and photography can be isolating and tough sometimes—we get it. This is why we created this photography workshop retreat! Come enjoy the company of 9 food creators in the beautiful mountains where we will work together to learn cutting-edge food photography and styling techniques, as well as mindset work, and a time to connect with fellow creators where you can unwind and share a rejuvenating weekend together.
We are passionate about the power of food photography to reach a whole new audience for your business and can’t wait to share these strategies and tips with you!
This is for beginner to intermediate photographers. However, it is for EVERYONE who wants to spend some time connecting, recharging, and learning. Because we believe there is always something to learn from each other.
There are only 9 spots available!

We will then go through some mindset exercises and journaling prompts with Abbey and Chandice to help you dig deep and access what it is you currently are in need of in your business and life.
