“After 10 years of weddings and elopements, we're just stunned. We've been working with prompts for years, but it's the perspective shift from Athena & Cameron in how we approach our couples that's literally changed our business. The attention to detail and pieces of advice they provide are so intentional--and clearly originate from years of implementing this process. We're getting emails after elopements thanking us for how much we helped them connect and for listening to who they were us as couple. Embracing connection just works. Period. Athena + Cameron have taught me how to help my couples open up, connect, and let their love shine -- all I had to do was invite them into a safe space and capture it.”
“Okay so normally I don't leave reviews because I'm so bad at it, but this masterclass literally makes me feel like I can do ~ANYTHING~ now.
I came from the world of product photography where I mostly worked with models or people who have experience in front of the camera. After moving to a small town in 2018, I niched down to weddings and elopements - but could never get the emotion and feeling that I so desperately sought after in my work.
When I tell you that this masterclass literally connected the dots for me, and made my work a thousand times better, it is truly because what it emphasizes is the clients. I think one of my greatest takeaways after implementing some of the lessons in this Masterclass is that not every client is the same - some will be goofier, some will be more romantic, some people don't like PDA, and this masterclass covers interacting with your clients and keeping them comfortable through ALL of that. And it is life changing. Also, goal changing. Before this, I totally had the wrong goals. I wanted to make pretty photos. Now, my clients get to walk away with an experience AND amazing photos, I'm so stoked.
I really can't thank you two enough for sharing your love and honestly, your humanity with the photography community. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for allowing me to better connect with and serve my clients.”
“I've been photographing weddings in the past only when people asked, but I decided to build my business this year and pursue it more intentionally. I'm thankful to have this unique opportunity to decide the type of photographer I want to be so early on in my career. I've invested in a few other posing courses but wasn't completely satisfied with any of them. Like Athena said in the Masterclass, I was looking for more. I didn't want to be another photographer in my city—I wanted to give couples a meaningful experience and slow down time in a culture that favors busyness and hurry. I can't thank you enough, Athena and Camron for this Masterclass. Thank you for teaching us to shift our mindset in a way that treats our clients with love, rather than another thing on a to-do list. The Invitations are beautiful and absolutely brilliant. (Yes I cried my way through the Intimacy module!) Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I definitely got way more than what I paid for. You two are great examples of the type of photographer I strive to become, and the type of photographers I want for my wedding one day.”
“After going through a little over half of the course, I've noticed that at each shoot, I'm less anxious with couples I've never met in person before! I recently had a compliment from a couple that said they were able to relate so much and feel so very comfortable with me after not knowing what to expect! THAT'S THE GOAL! Being able to connect with your clients and capture their connection! It's boosted my confidence as a photographer as well as a human. Thank you so much for creating this course!”
“The Masterclass is definitely worth the investment. I feel that before the class I sometimes ran out of prompts and ideas; however, I am now confident that I can engage the couple (or family) for an entire session without wondering what my next prompt will be. I have been able to adapt elements of the class for family sessions. My images are more authentic, couples look more connected and my clients are raving about the fun and insightful experience they had - and the bonus is gorgeous images! Go invest in this Masterclass - you won't regret it!”
“This course helped me create a meaningful experience for each one of my clients. The first session I tested this course out on was a maternity session. I was blown away with the beautiful, emotional, and tender moments I invited using the skills and invitations in this course. Afterwards the couple said they had never felt so connected and genuinely close while taking photos. During the session multiple times they told me they felt tears of joy coming, and could not believe the happiness they felt soaking up these last days together before the baby. The emotion I captured by using this course absolutely blew me away. Thank you thank you thank you Athena and Cameron. My work has improved but more importantly my couples and families are creating genuine moments and memories.”
“This masterclass has been the best educational investment I have made so far. Athena and Cameron have created a masterpiece on embracing human connection and it was exactely what I needed for this season of my photography journey. It contains everything I needed to fully embrace the content and I was able to apply it immediately ! I had never been able to put my finger down on what was missing trying to capture moments for people until this workshop !”
“I just love Athena and Camron's heart for people. The way they endeavour to treat their clients with honour and kindness is so beautiful... it's obvious that they see them as real people first, and clients second... Plus, their photos are amazing! I knew I wanted to learn from them and this MasterClass did not disappoint! I have loved it, and gleaned a lot in learning to make space for my couples, and create room for genuine emotion and connection. Love it!”
