Curiosity as Creative Practice // April 23-May 14th
A three-week photography workshop for those looking to embrace curiosity and wonder behind the lens. Participants will be pushed out of their comfort zones through three themes—motion, glow, and reflect—curating a stunning body of work along the way. Each week participants will submit a single photo for group review and critique, as part of learning how to be a better curator of their own work.

-Each week includes a detailed PDF with a guided lesson, mood board, prompt, and a bonus challenge for those looking to add more spice to their creative practice.
-Participants will meet on Zoom April 30, May 7, and May 14th at 4pm PST / 6pm CST for a 90-minute portfolio review and critique.

What past participants are saying:
“This workshop unlocked a playful side I rarely access as a busy mom. It was so much fun to experiment with the different themes each week! Jenny and Ashlee provided helpful feedback and delivered their constructive suggestions for improvement with such kindness and respect for each person. Getting to be creative during this workshop was so refreshing and honestly felt healing for my heart.”
“As an amateur photographer, this workshop gave me lots of valuable knowledge and inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and practice new things! I looked forward to getting the PDFs each week, taking photos for the theme, and especially enjoyed learning from the photo critiques on Zoom. I feel more confident in my photography following this workshop, and left the workshop with lots of inspiration for the future!”
“Jenny and Ashlee were encouraging, knowledgeable and kind. The other ladies were inspiring and I’m so thankful I invested in this workshop and I’m excited to continue to take a step back and photograph my life in beautiful and meaningful ways.”
“This workshop inspired me to pick up my film camera and shoot again. It pushed me to get creative with my photography and I found a really supportive group of women who were creating alongside me. Highly recommend!”
“I’m really thankful for this workshop, not only because it gave me tangible things to notice and improve in my own photography but because it inspired me to notice things in my daily life.”
