Day 2

Audrey Woulard is no stranger to photography education. She has been a leading voice in portrait photography for over 20 years. I had the opportunity to interview her on The Portrait System podcast and, let me tell you, she is one of the most genuine human beings and such an incredible teacher!

During Audrey's presentation, she takes you behind the scenes to help you finally figure out your own photographic style--including dialing in your lighting!

Vanessa Joy has been in business since 2002 photographing luxury weddings and corporate marketing initiatives--and educating photographers worldwide.

All of her experience has given her so much knowledge when it comes to working smarter, not harder. She will teach you exactly how to stop hustling and start thriving!! It's time to run your business so you make more per shoot and don't burn out.

Crystal Byrd Uqdah is one of my absolute favorite personal branding photographers!! I've been following her for a long time and I was so happy to learn that she has begun to teach others how she does it!

In her class, Crystal covers how to attract and book the right personal branding clients, how to structure branding sessions from consult to delivery, and how to confidently price and package your services. You’ll leave with practical tools and strategies you can implement right away to grow in this niche!

I have to say, I just adore Sandra Coan! We have spent some time together at WPPI and it's always high energy and a great time. On top of being fun to hang out with, she knows her stuff in the photography world. 

Over a decade ago, she created a simple, repeatable system to plan, price, and sell out her Mini Sessions-bringing in $8K–$10K in a single day, while keeping the experience fun, organized, and stress-free. Now, she's sharing that exact method with you!

Pratik Naik is just one of the coolest human beings. Retouching used to be so stressful for me...but, listening to his calm voice as he teaches how to do it would always make me relax! 

In his retouching demo, Pratik shares his streamlined Photoshop workflow for achieving professional results with both speed and precision. You’ll discover the tools and techniques that put you fully in control of the process, allowing you to focus on the artistry that makes your work shine.

Jason Vinson is magic with light. I'm not kidding. He can walk into a regular old room and create images that make my jaw drop! The first time I saw him speak, I loved how he made lighting seem so much less confusing and again, I was blown away how he turns a boring scene into the most unique images!!

You'll see Jason do exactly that in his class today. He walks you through a shoot and shows you how to create something out of nothing. Get ready to have your mind blown!

Listening to Bee Trofort-Wilson speak is the BEST. I love her voice, the way she explains things--all of it. On top of being able to teach with ease, she has an amazing business, even having done campaigns for the CDC, Under Armour, Adidas, AMC, AARP, and more!

Bee will teach you exactly how to break into the athletic portrait genre including marketing, gear to use, structuring your shoots, and more! She makes me want to get into this genre!!

Cat Ford-Coates is, pardon my French, a no bullshit kind of girl, so you can expect zero fluff in her class today. Cat has the ability to make people move out of their comfort zone and finally start taking action!

During Cat's talk, she will teach you how to market with clarity, track what really matters, and magnetize the right clients; those who feel your work before they ever see your pricing. No more throwing spaghetti at the algorithm. It’s time to market like a CEO.

Sue Bryce changed my life. When I say this to her, she always says, "No. Nikki, YOU changed your life." While there is some truth to that, what she has taught me over the years has given me not only the ideas and tools I've needed, but the confidence to create the most incredible life!

Sue's Marketing class will give you ideas and strategies to finally put yourself out there. It's about marketing yourself — the apps have shifted our marketing, the media has changed, and she has been testing and  learning how and what content connects to her people.
