Most people I work with  have never done this before.
Workshops are simple, fun, informative, collaborative, and shaped around you.



The Intimate Couple: A Martha’s Vineyard Creative Workshop
Photograph someone you love 
A shared process of seeing and being seen.

Move beyond the selfie.

A private, approximately 2.5 hour creative workshop designed especially for couples.

A space to move beyond the noise of daily life and focus on the quiet, romantic, and often unspoken rhythm between two people.

I will guide you through the process of photographing and learning how to take better pictures of your loved one — wife, girlfriend, partner, or someone close to you.

Instantly create better images with basic tips and suggestions.

All levels of comfort, from casual images to portraiture to artistic nude. My goal is to create a private, respectful environment where the human form is treated with the highest level of professionalism.
No professional photography experience is necessary. You are welcome to bring what you have, from a professional camera to an iPhone. A professional camera is available for a fee.

Duration: approximately 3 hours
Investment: $900

Note: This workshop is for personal, private, and artistic use only. No erotic, explicit, commercial, or content-creator photography. Images are for the couple’s private use unless otherwise agreed in writing.

*Price includes travel to "Down Island" towns (Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs, and Edgartown). For sessions Up Island (West Tisbury, Chilmark, Aquinnah) or on Chappaquiddick, please add a $100 travel & logistics fee.

"For on-location sessions, we will scout the best light together upon my arrival. Whether in the privacy of your home or the quiet of a favorite beach, we’ll find the space that feels most honest to you."

The Art of the Self-Portrait
A Solo Workshop for Seeing Yourself Differently

Move beyond the mirror.
Stop hiding behind your phone. Learn how to use a timer or trigger,  light, angles, and your environment to capture images of yourself that feel honest, elevated, and intentional.

What You’ll Learn
  • Light as a Tool: How to find "the good light" in any room without expensive equipment.
  • The iPhone as a Camera: Secrets to using your phone's timer, exposure locks, and lenses to get professional-grade results.
  • Posing without "Posing": How to feel comfortable in front of your own lens and capture your true character rather than a stiff reflection.
  • Composition: Creating a sense of place and mood in your solo photos.

"I feel awkward taking photos of myself. Is this for me?"
Absolutely. This workshop is designed to break down that barrier. We work in a private, supportive studio environment where the goal isn't "perfection," but rather a creative exploration of how you see yourself and to have fun.  Body acceptance and learning to be happier with yourself is an important part of this process. 

"Is this just for social media?"
While these skills will certainly improve your social media presence, the intent is different and deeper. It's about personal documentation and the confidence that comes with being both the artist and the subject.

Duration: approximately 3 hours

Investment: $700

Painting with Light: A Photographers Workshop
Portrait & Nude Workshops for Photographers

My photography does not begin with the camera.

It begins with seeing. And with the person in front of you.

This private coaching workshop is about working with people. Not posing. Not performance. Not Photoshop.

Simple setups.
Small adjustments.
Patience.
Experimentation.

You learn to recognize the moment, make decisions, and use technique in service of the image.

Duration: 3 hours

Investment: $900

Note: Model fee additional, or you may bring your own model.
