Our focus will be shooting in manual mode with natural light, while combining textures and colors of props that complement the food we are styling. Suzanne will also discuss the essentials of styling product photography for advertising.
​
Itinerary includes opening lectures by each instructor, demonstrations, and hands-on styled photo shoots throughout the weekend. There will be time to flex your creative muscles, browse our prop collection, and stage your own photographs - perfect for building your portfolio!
Besides sharing our professional skill set, this weekend aims to build creative community and serve as a retreat from your normal routine. As such, we’re offering an optional morning yoga class, nature walks, and kayaking from Martin Point. To strengthen our community, instructors and participants will stay under one roof, sharing meals family-style. We’ll indulge in a classic lobster bake and enjoy meals created by Recipe Developer and Food Stylist, Kim Gallagher.
This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to develop their skills in styling or food photography, as hobbyists or professionals. We've created a unique opportunity to learn from self-made professionals in both the commercial styling, and blogging industries.

Testimonials from our last workshop...
​
“You don't have to be a 'type' of person do do something like go on a retreat. All you have to be is a person willing to learn and grow. I honestly couldn't have been more happy with the workshop and wouldn't change a thing. You did a great thing Suzanne, I really feel that I'm part of a community from this event.” –Alyx
​
"I truly do feel as though I walked away from your retreat with creative ideas spilling at the seams. I hold a better understanding of photo styling through yours and Liz’s demos, social media with our round table discussion and our one on one meetings, and lastly how to work a camera (I needed a serious refresher course!!). I am going to keep working on improving my styling skills, and expanding upon them to build a better portfolio. …I felt at home, and at peace within the Lake house with you all. In my personal opinion, there isn’t any way to have made the weekend any more comfortable. The food and beverage was excellent, the timeline/agenda was well executed and I think we all made the space a very fun and enjoyable setting for each other to learn and grow within.” –Jess
"I liked the mix of workshop sessions with other activities…The personal interactions/friendships that were formed were really great and rewarding.” –Liz
“Being able to be open and connect with strangers who share similar interests as well as learn more about food/prop styling and writing (was valuable).” –Jenn
