¡Viva la Revolución!
The Perfectly Natural Revolution Workshop Experience
Creating inclusive photography businesses from the inside out
Photography is one of the best tools we have to help people find acceptance within themselves - but it starts with us first.
To be part of a revolution is cool, but to lead it is an entirely different level of empowerment.
The Perfectly Natural Revolution was created in 2021 as a response to me reconnecting with my photography work after doing boudoir photography for 7+ years. With a focus on body image & inclusivity, I began to consult and educate around the world - helping photographers at all stages learn why it was so important to include diverse bodies in their work. Since then, this Revolution has expanded to educate on the importance of facing and moving through our own body image to craft the businesses we dream of.
Now, I want to educate the next group of Revolutionary Leaders!
It’s important that we don’t just talk about self love - it’s important that we learn to live it as well.
Through the week that we are together, we are going to work on our businesses, but we are also going to work on ourselves - learning why we think the way we do, learn how to shift those thoughts, and then move forward to create a business and life that we dream of - not letting our thoughts about our body get in the way!
So…what’s covered in the course?
Technical Content
-
Applying the ACE method to your business practices
I established the idea of ACE back in 2021, which stands for Awareness, Curiosity, and Education. These 3 pillars are going to help us revolutionize and get clarity on why we want do the work we want to do (and how to make the necessary changes to do it!)
-
Creating images to help you diversify and build your website & social media
Naturally we need to show what we want to shoot, so in a supportive and creative environment myself and our glorious models will help you create a drool-worthy portfolio that will help you attract the clients you desire. (This includes self-portraits)
-
Website Build
We are going to help you update and clarify the messaging on your website. As an author, I’ve learned a thing or two about how to connect to people with words and I want to share those skills with you - with our new images + updated words, you will be able to reach the clients that get why you want to do this work.
Prepare to leave with your website updated, your cost of doing business done, images for your social media and blog content, and any other business type content you need to finesse. Activation is my super power and when we are working together in an intensive workspace - we get. shit. done.
Body Image Content
-
Applying the ACE method to your body image
Understanding your body image is key to understanding more about your clients’. By applying ACE to the ways in which body image sneaks into our business, we are going to be able to rewrite the stories others have written for us and realize it was never our bodies holding us back from showing up - instead, it was the stories we told ourselves.
-
Learning how to manage your clients' body image concerns & objections
As a body image educator above all else, I’ve come to know that photography can help or hinder our clients on their body image journeys - but it has less to do with the photos and more to do with how we manage their expectations and concerns. I am going to share all of my tools, scripts, and expectations that have helped me create long lasting (positive!) impact on my clients.
-
Empowerment Experience + Photoshoot
There is no better way to understand what our clients go through and to feel the power that an empowerment experience can have on shifting how people feel about themselves. At the end of the workshop, we will have an amazing Empowerment Group Photoshoot Experience by yours truly!
Bonus Content
-
Clifton Strengths Assesment + coaching
Every intensive I run, I ensure my attendees get a Clifton Strengths assessment + coaching because if we can become confident in who we ARE, it’s easier to realize that our body has just become the scapegoat for things that we thought were wrong about ourselves. Understanding more about our strengths also increases our profitability as business owners!
-
Access to the self paced course Get Real About Money
One of the hurdles that comes with have a negative body image, is feeling worthy of charging for your craft - understanding about the things that get in your way around money and then doing the math to understand what is the minimum you can charge to do what you love is imperative to sustainability.
-
Swag bags + an incredible workbook
As an educator and lifelong student, I am a sucker for a good workbook so naturally this was something I wanted to make sure I included for this workshop. The swag bag will be filled with goodies to remind you of this epic week and provide you with the things you need to go forward and change lives!
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Come learn in my favorite place
Welcome Home
One of my favorite parts of retreats, is that we all get to stay together in a gorgeous home. A lot of the learning happens in the in-between and after moments when you are chilling/playing/creating and by being surrounded with like-minded folks it will feel more like a family. We eat together, we stay together - we play together! All in all, it’s going to be one beautiful experience that will leave you changed and with a whole new group of glorious humans to support you after you leave.
All accommodations are double occupancy and shared.
The Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival
The first day will see everyone arriving to our stunning home located in beautiful Puerto Vallarta. We will have transportation pre-arranged FROM the PVR airport to our home. Once everyone has arrived and settled in a bit, we will share a delicious dinner, spend time chatting and in the evening teach you about Clifton Strengths to get to know each other a little better!
Day 2-4: Classroom + photoshoots
For the next 3 days, we are going to be focused on getting deep with the Revolution you hope to start with your work. Whether it is sexual empowerment, body image, story celebration, motherhood or anything else, you come to this work with an intense fire that just needs a little direction and clarity and we are going to be there to help you dig into it. From classes on storytelling, the impacts of body image, deconstructing gendered posing, all the way to rebuilding your website, creating social media content and how to move through your mindset and beliefs around things like money, time, & creativity you are going to leave with a full-fledged workbook of content to connect with your ideal client. And let’s not forget the incredible photography work that you will be doing with our amazing models! We have brought in some of our favorite talent to shed some light on discrimination from the subject perspective while also giving you incredible imagery for your portfolio to reach the clients you desire!
Day 5: Play day!
We will kick off the morning with complimentary massages for those that desire them and then for those that want to head to town for some history and adventure, you will have the opportunity! Upon arriving back in the afternoon we are going to spend the afternoon and evening learning about and taking self portraits/photographing each other. This is your opportunity to get some great content for you to use on your social media, your website, and more! We will have a list of suggestions/ideas for you to play with and create around to get the inspiration going!
Day 6: Photoshoot + Empowerment Experience
On this last full day, we are going to have a lazy morning getting ready for solo sessions + group photos with me! The rest of the day will be reserved for talking about how you can introduce retreats/workshops/events into your offerings in order to create empowering experiences for your clients. To cap off our time together, we will partake in my signature Empowerment Experience where we focus on connection with self, connection with others, and connection with community as the sun sets.
Day 7: Farewell, my friend
After spending such an incredible time with each other, this part is most definitely the hardest. We will bid you adieu and will wait with baited breath until we are able to reunite again in the future!

FAQs
Nope! This workshop is for any human who wants to learn more about body image and the impact it has on your clients, your business and you! We welcome all perspectives in this space, but be prepared that we do center the lived experience of women and under represented folks!
Is this for women only?
No. You will be responsible for getting to & from Puerto Vallarta, but once you arrive, we will take care of getting you to and from the airport.
Is airfare included in the cost?
Yes! We offer 10, 8, and 4 split payment options (or you can score some points on your credit card and pay in full!)
Do you offer payment plans?
What time is check in/check out?
Check in will happen any time after 1pm CST and checkout will happen at 11am CST - so plan your flights accordingly. Sometimes, folks come in a few days early and stay off site, if this is the case we will provide transportation from a central location to the casa!
I know nothing about body image work, is this workshop for me?
This workshop is designed for folks who want to do the body image work, regardless from where they are starting, but its also about so much more than that. We focus on body image as one of the biggest obstacles our clients face, but as you will come to realize, it really isn’t about the body! I will be sharing The Perfectly Natural Revolution processes to help you develop your photography business to be more inclusive regardless of how long you’ve been in business.
What’s the difference between this and Body Image Bootcamp?
Firstly, this experience is only offered to photographers, whereas Body Image Bootcamp is open to anyone wanting to challenge their body image insecurities and the systems that uphold them. Secondly, this retreat is focused more on helping you create a business and life that you dream of through the lens of body image and self value. We will be looking at all the ways body image impacts your clients, your work, and most importantly, yourself in regards to how you run your business and go after what you desire! Taking photos and business content is the focus of this retreat, whereas BIBC has a focus on building an understanding of how to create a better body image. For more details, head to bibcgonewild.com
We will have 2 afternoons full of photoshoots featuring 2-3 incredible models PLUS we will have an afternoon focused on photographing yourself and your fellow attendees so there will be a plethora of time to create. We want to make sure you leave the week with a portfolio of incredible imagery showing diverse bodies, content for your social media strategy, and updated headshots to use on your website!
How much photographing will we actually be doing?
