HOW IT WORKS
This is a 6 week course, beginning Tuesday June 14th. On each Tuesday, I release that week’s content: videos, tutorials, notes and projects :) Anytime during that week (or even weeks after), you can view all or pieces of it at your leisure. Each Thursday or Friday (alternating) we’ll have 3-hour live calls scheduled for Q&A’s and discussion on that week’s content. The call will be taped and available for you to download at anytime should you miss one :) One of my favorite benefits of this workshop is the members only forum - a place of ongoing support, information and motivation. Members will be able to leave comments under each content area, so everyone is sharing their thoughts, ideas, tips and questions all in one place – so we’re all in this party together, all the information is available to you 24/7, and I’m right by your side as your personal coach!
TOPICS COVERED
Shooting On Location & In the Studio
Go behind the scenes of Christa’s shoots. See how Christa styles her sets and works with minimal equipment both on location and in the studio. Watch how she relaxes a nervous client, brings out the best in each woman (from models to moms), creates sensual moments, captures emotion from even the stiffest client, and finds flattering poses for every body type.
Equipment & Lighting
What’s necessary and what’s not – this surprises most new photographers! Learn easy lighting set-ups, how to work with the challenge and beauty of natural light, working with studio strobes, and the ease of video lights. See the results of using different lenses at all budget levels.
Branding and Style
How to create a distinctive brand that brings you into your business. Creating a consistent look that separates you from the crowd.
Creating Raving Fan Clients
How to attract clients and turn each woman into a raving fan who does your marketing for you. This is how I create boudoir addicts who hire me again and again and tell all their friends.
Best-selling Boudoir Money Shots™
Learn how Christa coaches and captures each of her best-selling Money Shots™. These are the shots that every client wants and are absolute must-haves for your portfolio!
Post Production & Workflow
Cut down on your editing time with a workflow that is easy, fast and effective. See Christa take her pics from straight out of camera through Lightroom and Photoshop to final edited images presented to client.
Giving Direction & “Posing”
Learn how to coach actions, give easy direction and create beautiful moments instead of “poses.” See the difference between what’s hot & what’s not - a subtle but huge difference!
Flattering every Figure
Easy ways to flatter women of every shape and body type. Top ways to work with women, from models to moms, breast cancer survivors to body conscious clients.

Working with nude models, see how Christa blends Fine Art Nudes and Fashion with Portraiture to create her high-end Boudoir “look.” Learn the qualities that distinguish each style and how to bring them into your work.

I did my first Boidoir shoot a couple of weeks ago before I found Christa’s website and made all the classic mistakes (accelerate your failures!). I still found it to be the most fun I’ve ever had shooting and I’m so impassioned and inspired by Christa’s tips and images. I can’t wait to get better!!! Need to win a workshop seat badly.
By the way, my client loved her shots anyway!

I entered email, downloaded the Manifesto, liked you on FB, linked your page & website on my page & gave heads up to family, friends, coworkers that they NEED to check your work out! Oh also left a comment on your FB page. Whether I win or not I know that this art form is one I wish to dive into. I was amazed in awww and moved when I saw your work Miss Christa. Just stunning & thank you for sharing what you know with all of us. Bravo!!!
Really excited and I hope I win!
Well lets see….I posted your link on my page….
“LIKED” your page…..
submitted email….downloaded your Manifesto….asked all my family, friends, coworkers on my FB page to check out your website(thinking the more comments I leave of my actions I might have a better chance)
A girl has to try and wish in making a dream a reality :)
With that said I must say your art form in Boudior Photography is simply stunning but you know that already Miss Christa.
Thank you for opening the eyes of many of us like myself who didn’t know about Boudior and the sensuality you capture thru your pictures.
Just signed up on your email list…
Went ahead and tweeted! Keeping my fingers crossed!
DELICIOUSLY JUICY…is all I’m saying
It’s officially official I like you on Facebook ;-)
I tweeted! Hope to win!
So looking forward to your workshop and am on your mailing list- entry #2! :)
I cannot resist the lure of the amazing Miss Meola and the chance to learn at the feet of the master :) but really, you had me at vintage pin up, and curvy.
See you online y’all!
I am now a fan on FB and shared it with my friends. I am REALLY looking forward to this- getting all giddy just thinking about it!! :)
love all of your work, i have just graduated from architecture and have been doing some free-lance photography in my spare time which i taught myself, and this workshop would really (really) be beneficial to me as this is the type of photography i would love to do and have attempted before but i need instruction on the set / “poses” / ideas / lighting / editing etc, and this sounds like the most amazing course ever! i hope i get a chance to experience it and let others see my full potential! :)
