Join us in the garden city for two days of shooting and education at three diverse locations (the beaches of Lake Michigan, a deserted Atrium AND the bustling city streets of Chicago). This intimate event will leave you inspired and offer you with a fresh perspective on family, bridal and lovers' shoots. Each shoot will provide you the opportunity to watch both instructors work as they share their process, allowing time for you to capture the styled models in epic locations, followed by a sit down Q&A. We will have multiple opportunities to hang from smores on the beach, cafe stopsand downtown drinks.

Our Shoot and Learn is a hybrid of a shoot-out and an in-person workshop! We've married two incredible experiences together for this Shoot and Learn! Shoot alongside instructors while getting to understand the "method to their madness," as they breakdown their process and answer all your questions! Our Shoot and Learn experience will allow you ample time to shoot and interact with models one-on-one creating unique shots ONLY you have, but also time to watch and learn from all the other creatives in attendance. Each Shoot and Learn experience will have a dedicated "Ask Me Anything," with the instructor to ask any questions you may have missed during the session! Our goal is to not just have you leave with stunning imagery to add to your portfolio, but also help you improve your craft through education! If you're looking to grow as an artist... this is for you!

Does my ticket include transportation?

You are responsible for your transportation to each experience! Your ticket will get you access to our Private Mari + Ro Facebook Group, where you will be able to coordinate transportation with other attendees!

Are there accommodations? 

Accommodations are not provided for our Shoot and Learn experience.  We will offer hotel recommendations in our Private Facebook Group. It is our hope that you will connect with other attending artists and will coordinate your stay!

How long is each experience?

Each experience will last approximately two hours, with the majority of the time dedicated to shooting and instructor direction... and conclude each experience with our Instructor Question and Answer!
