Is this right for me?

If you are a… 

Seasoned photog who wants an opportunity to thrive and connect in their business…

Someone who is wanting to expand their portfolio and their business acumen… 

Someone who has been DYING for a strategic map to recession-resistent business success…

Someone who has been looking for a community of like-minded female entrepreneurs for encouragement and conversation… 

…then this content retreat is for YOU. 

01. Creative Mastery & Community

Take me back

It’s lonely in business, isn’t it? It’s so easy to lose track of your connections with other artists—and it can feel overwhelming to know where to start. The Elevated Collective Co. is thoughtfully created not only to stretch your creative skills, but also to directly connect you with other women and creators who can be an encouragement to you for days, months, and years to come. 

Community is at the very heart of what we do. Beyond your life-changing experiences with this amazing group of people, you’ll walk away with a platform-ready content portfolio and breathtaking shots in Banff. 


02. Business Mentorship

Take me back

Have you ever wished for a map that would walk you through the A-to-Z of business success? (We’ve all been there!) 

I created The Elevated Collective Co. with your mentorship in mind—securing dozens of opportunities for 1:1 support, and sessions covering the stuff that no one tells you about the photography biz. (Let’s be honest…we should have been having these conversations months ago!) 

There’s no gatekeeping here. We’ll be getting raw, real, and downright efficient in our business support groups and sessions.

My team and I are actively working to find accommodations that feature exclusive privacy and your own space. With that being said, I cannot guarantee that you’ll have your own bathroom and bedroom. I will, however, take it upon myself to ensure that any roommate agreements are comfortable and enjoyable. If you have a predetermined preference, please do let me know! We’ll do our very best to pair you with a room or friend that works for you! There will be shared beds.
