$175.00
Only 6 left in stock

Date: Sunday, February 22, 2026

Time: 11am - 3pm

Location: Studio in Philadelphia

Getting in front of the camera is an art form. And here's what I need you to know - you existing is just a beautiful thing. The art of being is truly enough.

A few years ago, I started doing these self-portraits and it became this amazing exercise in falling in love with myself. I was studying myself the same way I study my clients, looking at myself through the lens the way I do for the women in my "Black Women Being" series. And it was beyond interesting.

I want to help you do the same.

In this 4-hour workshop, we're going to get you comfortable in front of the camera. I'm teaching you how to film on your phone, how to use a camera, how to set yourself up. But really, we're practicing the art of witnessing yourself - of seeing that just being is enough.

You're leaving with:

  • The skills to photograph yourself at home

  • Two edited portraits by me

  • The Dreamy Guide (sent immediately upon purchase)

  • A whole new relationship with your own image

This is for the woman ready to study herself, to celebrate herself, to fall in love with what she sees.

Workshop Schedule

11:00am - 11:15am Welcome & Foundation. Quick introductions and I'll share my journey with self-portraiture - how it became an act of falling in love with myself. We'll set the tone: this is about studying and celebrating yourself, not performing. I'll show powerful images from my self-portrait work and "Black Women Being" series.

11:15am - 12:00pm Phone Photography Mastery. Learn the essentials: portrait mode, finding natural light, angles, distance, and composition. Practice on each other first to build confidence, then learn how to set up your phone with a tripod or stand and use the timer or remote shutter.

12:00pm - 12:45pm Camera Fundamentals & Setup. We'll work with an actual camera - covering aperture for beautiful background blur, focus, and basic settings. You'll learn how to set up a self-timer or remote trigger and create your own setup at home.

12:45pm - 1:45pm Individual Portrait Sessions with Me. I'll spend 5-7 minutes with each woman, directing you and capturing 2-3 setups that I'll edit and deliver later. While waiting, practice self-portraits with your phone or camera in different areas of the space.

1:45pm - 2:50pm Self-Study Practice. Over an hour of dedicated time to shoot yourself with everything you've learned. Real space to experiment, get uncomfortable, push through awkwardness, and find your rhythm. I'll move around offering guidance and encouragement.

2:50pm - 3:00pm Closing Circle & Next Steps. Share your discoveries, learn when you'll receive your edited portraits, and get your practice assignment for continuing this work at home.
