We said we were adding a bonus shoot to Miami, here it is!

Think ‘Cuban Cowboy’ the bonus look we are adding at the end of May 6th at Villa Woodbine.

Western-inspired, bold, and unexpected. The same stunning estate, a totally different creative energy.

Is it our usual elevated aesthetic? Not exactly. Is it going to make for an incredibly fun, editorial, totally unexpected gallery set? For sure! We wanted to give you a good range and this delivers it.

Between the Spanish Bold Romance wedding, the Romantic Engagement, and now this — you’re leaving May 6th with three completely different looks in one day.

Full breakdown of all three looks dropping Monday.

A few spots left!
Comment MIAMI and I’ll send the details!

Here’s the picture of what May 6th includes…

A 1920s Mediterranean mansion in Coconut Grove. Two styled model couples. Small group rotations so you actually get shooting time at every setup. Bold Spanish-inspired florals. Editorial details. A team managing every logistical thing so you never have to leave creative mode.

You leave with a full gallery of portfolio-ready images, real vendor connections, and a day that felt like what this work is supposed to feel like.

That’s what your ticket covers.

Villa Woodbine. May 6th. Payment options available.

Villa Woodbine. Miami. May 6th. 🌴

We’re talking a 1920s Mediterranean-Renaissance estate.

Picture hand-painted tile, grand archways, a tropical courtyard that feels like you flew somewhere far more expensive than Florida.

→ Two model couples dressed in luxe wedding attire
→ Spanish-inspired florals are bold & intentional
→ Curated details, flatlays & tablescape
→ Multiple setups across the entire estate
→ Real shooting time at spot
→ Small group so your experience actually matters
→ Built-in networking with vendors who send referrals

This is the kind of shoot that changes the tier of client who finds you.

European luxury aesthetic. Zero passport required.

Comment MIAMI and I’ll get you all the details. 👇

You’ve been waiting for the right client to hand you the portfolio you actually want.

They’re not coming until you show what’s possible.

The photographers who break out of the same-gallery cycle every year do one thing differently, they stop waiting and start creating with intention. They build the proof before the client gives them the opportunity.

Then, their inquiries change. Their bookings change. Their income changes.

A styled shoot is how that cycle starts.

Comment MIAMI and I’ll send the details for the next shoot👇

I’ve been sitting with an idea lately—and it has everything to do with YOU… 👀

For months, I’ve been craving a space to go deeper into what it actually takes to break into the ‘luxury’ wedding market. A place to build portfolios that book $6K+ clients, get real answers on pricing, and connect with photographers who get the struggle of being stuck just below where you want to be.

At first, I didn’t plan to build something like this… but now? I can’t not think about it. 🤯

What if there was a space where we could:

✨ Transform our portfolios through real feedback and luxury-focused styled shoots

✨ Get answers to our actual marketing and pricing questions as they come up

✨ Work alongside other photographers building toward fewer weddings, higher prices, and getting our weekends back

Here’s what makes this different: There’s no gatekeeping here. No pedestals, no mean girl (or guy) energy, no clique behavior. Just real photographers, at every level, building each other up and growing together. We’re all in this side by side.

A space for real momentum toward booking luxury or premium client without the confusion, Instagram overwhelm, or constant second-guessing.

Here’s the honest part: I don’t have every piece figured out yet. That’s why I want to build it with you—not for you.

Your struggles with portfolio curation, your questions about vendor relationships, your pricing frustrations—all of it shapes what we create together.

Some bonuses we’re adding: guest industry experts to share their wisdom, and possibly a members-only styled shoot exclusively for our founding group.

If you join as a founding member, you’ll get first access at 40% off (locked in for life!) and help shape everything from day one.

Right now, this is just the beginning. The best pieces will come straight from YOU and the founding group. From now through launch, we’ll bring this whole thing to life—side by side. Adding more amazing things as we go.

If you’re in, DM me “READY” by Wednesday 1/7 at Midnight and I’ll send you the details.

I can’t wait to build something epic with you. 🙌

Celebrating because the first Shootout Society event of 2026 happens in 2 weeks and we are so ready!!

Our Greece Inspired Wedding Shoot will have stunning luxury set ups, curated details, real couples, and so many creative opportunities. And a group of photographers we are genuinely excited to create with.

We can’t stop thinking about how good it’s going to feel to start the year this way.

Here’s what we love about styled shoots:

✨ They’re a creative reset after the chaos of wedding season

✨ You get to connect with photographers who actually understand the journey

✨ You build strategic portfolio content that attracts dream clients

✨ You remember why you fell in love with photography in the first place

It’s not just about the images (though those are gold). It’s about community, growth, and creating work you’re genuinely proud of.

If you’re joining us in January—see you soon! If not, our next styled shoot is May 6th in Miami (mark your calendars) - tickets drop at the end of January. You’ll want to be ready!

Let’s make 2026 the year we prioritize creativity, real connection, supporting each other, and building businesses we actually love that allow us to live the life we want.

Who’s ready? Tell us your big goal for 2026!

Why Joshua Tree for a Greek theme?

Here’s why: The landscape is otherworldly. Ancient. Timeless. Just like Greece.

But here’s sealed the deal—we found a Greece-inspired Airbnb nestled right in the desert. White pillars. Authentic Greek interiors. A stunning cave pool that feels straight out of Santorini.

This venue is perfect for intimate weddings, and it gave us the best of both worlds: the dramatic desert landscape paired with genuine Greek architecture. The contrast is EVERYTHING.

The light is unmatched—soft, golden, cinematic. The rock formations create natural framing. The flowing white fabrics against desert and stone? Chef’s kiss.

And most importantly? It’s UNEXPECTED. Your clients aren’t seeing this combination everywhere. Desert meets Mediterranean. That’s what makes it memorable. That’s what books you.

We don’t plan shoots just because they’re pretty. We plan them because they’re strategic for your portfolio.
