“I may be a new photographer, but I'm getting an excellent head start after taking this class! This class prepares you for helping your clients RELAX. I cannot wait to implement what I have learned!”
“I'm loving working through the materials and can't wait for my sessions this summer. I used to wonder how to get families to relax during their time with me, now I'm full of ideas!!”
“I think they definitely gave me my money’s worth + some.
I’m thankful I purchased the course and the preset pack they offered. The training that comes with the presets is worth every penny.
I really wish they had additional courses because I would definitely buy them.”
“It is not an overstatement to say that this course has literally changed my life. I had been trying for many years to inspire real connection with my couples, but it was never as resolved as it is now after taking the course. I have left every single session with a very full heart and immense gratitude to have found Athena + Cameron. I cannot recommend this course enough. It's so emotionally fulfilling for both my couples and myself. It has given me a new purpose and a huge reconnection for why I began photographing couples in the first place. Thank you Athena + Cameron; I cannot thank you enough!”
“This masterclass has been nothing short of completely career changing for me. I've spent years trying to memorize poses, struggling to get people to feel comfortable or to be able to "follow directions," and carrying so much anxiety before every single shoot. I even got to the point where I was considering quitting photography because every shoot was feeling so stale. The whole concept of using Invitations to foster genuine connection between my clients has revolutionized the entire experience of my portrait sessions--for me and my clients. I am booking more sessions than ever, and my clients are surprised every single time at how natural and fun their session feels--even stubborn dads who only showed up because they had to have been leaving more connected to their kids and wife and with genuine smiles on their faces. I had a moody 13 year old boy THANK ME at the end of a session for how fun it was (and he didn't want to be there at ALL at first. I had a senior girl who had the sweetest expression on her face while talking about her mom. Couples are giving each other kisses that I didn't have to ask for. I cannot say enough good things about this class. It's the best thing I've ever purchased for my photography career.”
“So far I am loving what I've learned in the course. I had a couples session after going through the invitation modules, and I was blown away by how well inviting real emotion using these techniques worked. The emotion from the couple was real and they really engaged with each other for both joyful and intimate moments! These invitations helped me slow down and allow the couple to connect with each other, and I can't wait to try them again.
BONUS: At the end of the session, the guy told me he forgot they were even taking photos, because he was so focused on the connection!”
“This masterclass has really transformed the way I shoot portraits during a wedding day. I started adding the invitations in slowly and each time I was positively surprised with the results. The methods described here really let me focus on what's important. Portrait sessions have slowed down and they feel great to the clients and even to me. I used to think I had to keep the pace up the whole time so the couple wouldn't get bored or think we weren't going to get enough variety in the photos.”
“I love this masterclass! The knowledge and advice that has be given has been so helpful in making my shoots less awkward. I feel like I can be more intentional with my shots because of the invitations taught. Great job Athena & Camron!”
