past Workshop review
"Before the workshop, I felt stuck—unsure how to showcase my work in a way that would attract the right clients..."
Skye showed me exactly how to build a portfolio that didn’t just look good but sold itself. The step-by-step approach, combined with the mindset shifts, helped me land three higher priced clients just weeks after the workshop. The best part? I now have a strategy I can use over and over to keep scaling my business. This isn’t just a workshop; it’s an investment in your future as a photographer."

"Skye has a unique ability to merge creativity with business strategy..."
I’ve attended a lot of photography workshops, but Skye’s Workshop is in a league of its own. I walked away with a portfolio I’m proud of and, more importantly, the know-how to attract high-end clients. Her insights into pricing, client attraction, and portfolio building were pure gold. After implementing what I learned, I booked a $12K session in less than two months. If you’re on the fence, just do it. It’s the best decision I’ve made for my business."

DRIPPING WITH LUXURY –
You’re in the right place.
We will have exclusive use of the entire estate and grounds at this workshop
THE LOCATION
This Location is The perfect place to rediscover your love of photography and to reignite your creative spark.
Just renting all the couture dresses you'll have access to at the shootout would cost you $1600+
...Several of the dresses available cost $1000+ alone.
... Not factoring in cost for hair and makeup styling, sets, wings, the venue, etc...
I work with only the best hair and styling team.
More Relaxed
Shooting Environment
You literally just show up, shoot, and begin
editing your newly captured images.
Use the images in your portfolio, social media, etc.
Photographers will work in small groups, rotating through each set to ensure everyone has the opportunity to capture every moment. Afterward, we’ll open up a "free shoot" session, allowing photographers the freedom to revisit any sets, capture anything they may have missed, or spend dedicated one-on-one time with
a specific model for more personalized shots.
Photographers say, "I love the big dresses, but it's expensive to both rent AND ship." Let me solve that problem for you.

"Thank you for your vulnerability and willingness to open up and touch hearts on a deeper level. And thank you for allowing me a space to find love in what I do again. Every tiny detail of this event was thought out. This was my first workshop, but not my last."
"...so when I saw Skye was having a workshop I was so excited to sign up! Honestly, the best thing to happen in 2021! The positivity that I gained from Skye was truly beautiful, I felt like the honesty and openness were truly the best! I would highly recommend going to any of her workshops."
"...the workshop was a perfect combination of inspiration, discussion, peer support, beautiful location, gorgeous light and amazing models. I came out of the workshop with a stronger knowledge of posing and how to work with children. My confidence grew tremendously with the hands-on experience."
"...Little did I know I would make friends and learn from them as well. I had the best time at the workshop. I loved day one and really needed to hear everything you touched base on more than I thought I needed to. I was able to carry some of those things with me and work on myself.

There are plenty of workshops out there, but this one is different. Why? Because we’re not just focused on giving you pretty pictures—we’re focused on giving you a portfolio that actually sells your work to luxury clients.
We’re blending the art of photography with the strategy of business. We’re teaching you how to not only create beautiful work but how to position yourself as a high-end photographer who commands premium rates.
You’ll walk away not just with new images, but with a whole new way of approaching your business, your brand, and your clients.
You'll learn how to be intentional and
strategic with every image you showcase and
how to craft a portfolio that SELLS + ATTRACTS.
You'll learn not just about images—
it’s about positioning, messaging, and creating
a brand that premium clients want to be a part of.
Gain the confidence to step into
the identity of a high-end photographer
and to charge what you’re truly worth.
Imagine the freedom of booking just a few high-end clients each year instead of chasing countless low-paying gigs. Imagine the energy and creativity you’d have when you’re working with clients who value your art and are willing to pay top dollar for it.
If you’re tired of burnout, mini sessions, or clients who haggle over your rates, it’s time to make a change. The clients who are willing to invest in your work are out there, but they’re not going to find
you if your portfolio doesn’t reflect
the experience they crave.
Why This Workshop Is Different?
It’s time to step into your next level. The Luxe Lens Workshop will give you the tools, the mindset, AND the stunning new portfolio you need to book those high-end clients and transform your business.

"Attending Skye’s Workshop was truly a game-changer for my photography business. I had always struggled with booking high-end clients and elevating my portfolio to match the level of work I knew I could deliver. But after just one workshop with Skye, everything shifted. She doesn’t just teach you how to create beautiful images—she teaches you how to sell those images. The mindset work, the practical business strategies, and the hands-on shooting experience gave me the confidence and tools to position myself as a premium photographer. I walked away not only with a fresh portfolio but also a renewed belief in my worth as a photographer. If you’re serious about leveling up your business, this workshop is a no-brainer."

I will list a few hotel suggestions (including staying at the historic Graylyn) in the pre-shootout private group on facebook -- you will join after purchase.
Where should we stay?
Once you receive the model releases, you are welcome to use the images for all of your business needs - on your website, social media, portfolio, business cards, etc. You are not permitted to use images in photo contests or editorials or features in online or print magazines.
How Can I use the Images Afterwards?
The nearest airport to Winston-Salem is Greensboro/High Point (GSO) Airport which is 17.3 miles away. Other nearby airports include Charlotte (CLT) (72.8 miles), Raleigh/Durham (RDU) (83.3 miles), Roanoke (ROA) (86.2 miles) and Tri-Cities Regional (TRI) (124.1 miles).
Where should I fly in?
The $10K Portfolio Workshop is designed for photographers of all experience levels who are ready to elevate their portfolios and step into the luxury market. Keep in mind part of the workshop agreement is that you send in a few images to models you captured as a thank you for their time.
Do I have to have a photography business?
I've done 100+ workshops and shootouts over the past 17 years, I assure you all the info you will need to know from start to finish will be posted and outlined to you in detail in the private Facebook group for the event. My desire is for everyone to be confident on what happens next, even down to where to park.
What info Should I know?
My events are known for being as organized and fun with amazing styling and models. No large groups shooting as photographers are broke up into smaller groups of 4-5 photographers max with nearly as many models as attendees. We have private use of the full estate and grounds with plenty of time to allow for ease and flow in our shoot time.
WILL IT BE OVERWHELMING?

"After today my heart is so elevated! Before attending, I wasn’t sure how to position myself to attract luxury clients..."
Skye gave us not only the tools but also the confidence to step into that next-level Me. The live shoots were incredible, and the feedback I got on my portfolio was invaluable. Skye doesn’t just teach you how to take amazing photos; she teaches you how to build a sustainable, profitable business. I’m already seeing the impact, and I’m more confident in my pricing than ever!"
