The Light Retreat 2023 application
Thank you for taking the time to apply for this retreat and for considering investing in your photography business and in your life! My goal with these retreats is to create a community where you can learn a ton about running a successful business, grow in your craft, build confidence that we so often need as entrepreneurs, get refreshed both personally and professionally, and gather with like-minded women who share the same interests, passions, highs and lows as each other!

This will be a big investment, both of your finances and your time. And I get that it can be hard to devote time and money! I’m a mama to littles, a wife, Kinder room mom, volunteer at church, a business owner, etc. carving out time to get poured into is hard work, but I can assure you that the investment you make will reap rewards ten-fold. I can guarantee you that I will steward your time well to equip you with what you need to level up your business!

I'm going to review the applications submitted and applicants will be chosen based on who I believe this retreat will serve best! If you are selected, you'll receive an email with all the details, including the price! Please know, not being selected is NOT an indication of your talent AT ALL! I would love to have EVERYONE attend but due to limited space, this just isn't feasible! If you aren't chosen for this one, please reapply for future retreats/mentorships! I'd be SO honored to work with you! :) 

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for trusting me to speak into your life and your business!

hugs,
Brigette

*
What equipment do you use? Camera body and lenses  *
What subjects do you primarily photograph? (families, newborns, weddings, headshots, etc) *
Tell me a bit about your photography history and where you're at with your business. Are you happy with where you're at and just need a little bit of inspiration and a mini vacay? Are you struggling with the back-end of your biz and need some help getting organized and helping with client experience? Are you brand new to the industry and need someone to get you started on the right foot? Why do you think this retreat is a good fit for you? Why do you want to come? Tell me allll the thingsssss, friend!  *
What are the top 3-5 things you'd like to learn at The Light Retreat? *
Have you attended retreats/mentorships/online education in the past? If so, please tell me a bit about your experience. *
Education is a BIG investment! Why is it so expensive? Because you're paying someone to help you jump over all the hurdles and puddles that they themselves trudged thru. A mentor helps you avoid the pitfalls and help you climb the ladder of success quickly! They give you tips, tricks, ideas, etc that will help you excel in this industry and give you time back with your loved ones. 
Plus, this is a luxurious retreat. I know you're taking sacred time away from family/work to attend, so we make it totally worth your time by adding on all the bells and whistles! I want this to be a relaxing, incredible experience. With all that said, what are your thoughts:
*
At the luxe AIRBnB,  there will be options for your own bed and options to share a bed (king). Are you comfortable sharing a bed with someone else?  *
Any other comments or questions:  *
Just for fun: if you know your enneagram, what is it? 
Just for fun: what TV shows are you into right now? 
Just for fun: What's your idea of a good time?!
Just for fun: How do you drink your coffee? Or what's your drink of choice?
