"The best investment you can make is an investment into yourself..."
Investing in yourself is the best investment you'll ever make. Taking the time and resources to sharpen your skills, learn how to scale your business, and build up your portfolio will take you to a whole other level that you never knew was possible. I will never regret the investments I made in the beginning of my photography journey, and that I continue to invest in, such as content days and educational workshops. They've all provided me with the skills, confidence and ideal clientele that I have today and I've made back that investment back tenfold! Bottom line...YOU'RE WORTH IT! Stop holding yourself back and start leveling up your craft! See for yourself - here are a few reviews from previous attendees:
Testimonials from Previous Retreat Attendees!
I loved loved loved the education portion with India. Thank you so much for setting that up! I also loved getting to explore all these gorgeous Utah locations & practice shooting in very different light from Hawaii. I definitely feel properly prepared for my move. My favorite was definitely the little Sahara session.
I would recommend because you truly went above & BEYOND to make sure everyone had a great retreat experience. You’re the sweetest & can’t wait to see what you create next!
Carly Anderson
I want to start off by saying thank you Megan for hosting such an incredible retreat. The sessions created in Utah have really kick started and elevated my business. I made friends in the photography community that I wasn’t able to find in my local area and I’m so grateful that I attended your Utah workshop. From the florals, outfits and models you can tell so much effort went into the details to make each session was perfect. We were given so many educational resources along the way too that I’m soooo grateful for. If anyone has the opportunity to attend a workshop, content retreat or any styled shoot hosted by you Megan they should consider themself sooo lucky because I can tell that you have put in so much work and heart into each project!! ❤️ 10/10 and I’d recommend for anyone to attend anything you put together in the future!

The “Breakthrough Content Retreat” went above & beyond anything I could have expected. I had to step out of my comfort zone in so many different ways. Yes my business benefited from attendinging but there was a lot of personal growth involved as well. I knew I was going to get some amazing content but what I didn’t know is that I’d be leaving with a new sense of self worth. It truly was like a breakthrough! I cannot thank Megan enough for the amount of thought, love & care that went into this retreat.

I can't stress how supported and empowered I felt as I was surrounded by so many other amazing people who were not only great photographers, but also hard working entrepreneurs and caring friends. I constantly got hyped by the other attendees and Megan and my creative energy was recharged. This is not to mention I took some of the best portrait photos of my life, had so much amazing "mainland" food and gained the knowledge to truly uplevel my photography business. I don't think I have ever been more motivated and inspired to continue pursuing my dream career.

I really enjoyed meeting new people and networking with those I never exchanged words to but have crossed paths with on the island. What a great way to build community and bounce ideas off of each other. What I absolutely cherished was when I was able to confide in many photographers and their journey's after India Earl's presentation. I questioned my worth, but being part of this group helped me realize what my actual worth was. Thanks, Megan <3

I loved the retreat so much! My favorite part was being able to share so much knowledge with different creatives, I think no matter where we are in our career we all had such important information to share with each other and were able to learn together. I would 10000% recommend this to every creative no matter if they are starting out, or 10 years in. It’s such a fun experience and after the retreat you’ll feel full of knowledge and ready to take on everything .
I can’t wait for the next one

The highlights from this retreat were all the laughs shared and bonds created. It was so nice to sit with other photographers and edit and talk and learn from one another. My favorite styled shoot was the salt flats because it was something unique to the location and something we can't recreate in Hawai'i. 100% it was worth every penny! Wonderfully planned sessions, intimate enough that we all got to shoot and share posing ideas but full enough that we could take creative breaks and get inspiration from others.
