The Bonus Studio Day is an optional add on experience designed for photographers who want more hands on practice before the Roadtrippers Photography Retreat on Blue Ridge Lake.

Held at my Atlanta studio, this small group intensive gives you the opportunity to actively shoot, refine your skills, and build confidence in a supportive environment. You will rotate through multiple styled sessions, practice studio lighting, and watch real time workflow so everything starts to click faster.

This is a fully immersive day created to help you arrive at the retreat feeling prepared, capable, and creatively energized.
