  • EP 35 | A peek inside our yearly team retreat

    Hosting a yearly retreat has been important to me since beginning my associate program a decade or so ago! Not only do we meet up every year to spend time together outside of 'work'.... but we also have yearly training days... in which we go through all things photography - from lighting to the fundamentals and we go through each part of the wedding day and work on posing and other fun things! In today's episode, you'll get a little peek inside what we did at this year's team retreat! If you are a photographer and have been toying around with the idea of bringing on a team (even if it's just one team member) - feel free to reach out to me! I believe the more heart we can bring together, the more we can serve our clients AND the more clients we can serve!

About Breaking Joy

From the publisher's feed

Breaking Joy is a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can embrace the tension that exists between the both/and – a place where we can honor and explore all of our emotional experiences… life is beautifully complex and when we can embrace the entire richness of our human experience, by living in the both/and instead of limiting ourselves to 'either/or' - we have the power to unlock a deeper and more meaningful life.
