FINE ART PHOTO RETREAT

All NEW! For Women Only!
FINE ART BOUDOIR + NUDE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP + RETREAT in PARIS!
with Christa Meola

Paris, France | May 1st – 5th

I am SO FREAKING EXCITED to announce my ALL NEW PARIS WORKSHOP! I designed this event to be an empowering and sensual experience unlike any other! This is more of a RETREAT than a workshop. I can think of few things more fun than getting together a small group of super sexy soul sisters to enjoy a week-long female photo-fest in a French Chateau. Space is very limited.

This is a unique event & one-of-a-kind learning opportunity! Join me in Paris as you complete a stunning portfolio, work with fashion models & nude figure models, create beautiful photographs, explore the City of Lights, and eat up & drink in lots of Joie de Vivre!

Be inspired by the art, history and beauty of Paris, as we explore the breathtaking landscapes of the French countryside and the exciting city.

You will receive personal coaching from Christa while you shoot and be granted use of all images for your blog and portfolio. Christa will share in-depth info on how to work beautifully with natural light, the art of coaching & posing models, creating high-end sets & styling, creating amazing relationships with clients, pricing, post production, branding & more. Film and Digital photographers of all levels are welcome. Accommodations are included.

Lastly, can you handle even more sensual awesomeness headed your way?!

As Christa’s gift to each woman…

ALL ATTENDEES will receive a MINI-BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION with Christa!
