past WORKSHOP review
"I am almost at a loss for words regarding how I feel about my Workshop Experience! This was my very first EVER ..."
I was feeling a little anxious and wasn’t sure what to expect or if I would be out of my league. Skye did an amazing job with the styling of the models. I struggle with confidence in my photography but as I am editing these images I almost feel like I am looking at someone else’s work. I feel like my images have that wow factor they’ve been missing. Thank you Skye for orchestrating this experience for us and for making us feel so welcome and comfortable. Thank you also for empowering me and giving me the courage to trust in my work.

Lose yourself in the wild beauty of
The Desert Muse Workshop in Nevada
At Nelson’s Ghost Town you’ll step into a photographer’s dream — acres of desert landscape scattered with vintage cars, trucks, buses, and even planes you can photograph with or inside. Every corner tells a story, filled with weathered artifacts, forgotten props, and treasures from another time.
Smoke bombs, flowy dresses, and styling inspired by our signature boho-meets-rebel aesthetic will be provided to help you craft cinematic imagery that feels straight out of a movie.
The quirky beauty of R+R has set the scene for Anthropologie Catalogs, commercials, feature films, famous cookbooks, and music videos.
Join us for photography merriment at the memorable Sekrit Theater in Austin
At the Sekrit Garden you'll enjoy access to the grounds including the Green House, Flower Wall, New Orleans Porch, Lily Pond, Front Gardens, Lounge Bus, Columns and birdcages, vintage chairs and benches, Goldfish Pond, and Backyard with Chandelier Tree, and Vintage Ford Truck and so much more.
Everywhere you turn is another wall, texture, spot, cove, nook, room, stairs...that is bathed in beautiful light.

THE MODEL
SHOOT
Includes two 2-hour styled shoots
featuring 15 styled models
Important Note:
There will be only teens and adults at this event. The images showing the kids were taken a few years back, as the images showcase this fabulous location.
SHOOT IN A RELAXED ENVIRONMENT
Let me handle all the details.
You literally just show up, shoot, and begin
editing your newly captured images.
Use the images in your portfolio, social media, etc.
Photographers will be shooting in small groups and rotating the sets until everyone has been captured. Then, we will have a "free shoot" period where photographers are free to move as they please to capture something they may have missed or spend more time one-on-one with a particular model.

It’s time to capture the content that books.

Brand Shoot
This is always everyone's FAVORITE part, hands down. We connected, we laughed, and we stepped into our clients’ shoes — gaining empathy for the vulnerability that comes with being on the other side of the camera.
You’ll leave with more than beautiful brand photos — you’ll leave seen.
We will be at the Ghost Town on Day 1 for a full two-hour Brand Shoot of YOU (it's optional, of course) BUT, bring lots of outfits and let's have fun. You won't regret it!
"The brand shoot alone was worth the plane trip..."

past WORKSHOP review
"I walked away with photos of my work, my brand, and myself that I still can’t believe I get to use."
Skye chose the perfect models, brought couture dresses that looked like they belonged in Vogue (thanks Lorie), and gave us direction that never felt stiff. And the brand shoot was my FAVORITE part! Who knew?
I usually hide behind the camera, but the way she guided us made me feel like the main character in the best way. I left with photos I actually love of myself—and a new kind of confidence I didn’t expect to pack in my carry-on.

"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.
Workshop Testimonials
Here are only a few of the real results
from past workshop attendees
“You want the best for your attendees/fellow photographers and it’s so evident. You poured your heart into every word you spoke."
"My first workshop of yours was life-changing in its own way, this workshop was different, you were different. At this workshop, I learned more about me, my heart and my soul, and what really matters when it comes to running my business. The real, raw stuff. Heard some hard truths, which definitely needed to be heard."
- Peyton B.
“After feeling stuck and burned out, I was thrilled to have the chance to attend! It was great to be able to ask questions in such a personal environment."
"I left Dallas with images I cannot wait to edit, a plethora of things I will be incorporating into my business, a list of great book recs, great sourcing ideas, some lovely new friends and the determination to make myself "a welcome place for creativity to rest."
- Nicole S.
“I came into this workshop knowing full well just how much my creativity and inspiration needed it. I didn't expect to realize, was just how much my heart and soul needed it more. "
“This was exactly what I needed! I was in a funk from Covid not being around people being secluded really had me rethinking photography,"
“I am still waiting for my feet to touch the ground! I had a blast at the workshop learning, observing, shooting and soaking it all in."
“I enjoyed the styled shoots so much! It allowed me to be more creative and get out of my normal. I was so worried and anxious about this workshop and meeting new people. "
