    Are you ready to move your photography business forward?

    Join the Professional Photographers of Louisiana for an immersive two-day retreat focused on "Your Digital Footprint." In today's rapidly changing landscape, it is essential to future-proof your business by mastering the intersection of AI, media, and marketing.

    This retreat is designed to take you from strategy to implementation, ensuring you leave with actionable skills to grow your brand and visibility.

    What You Will Learn:

    Day 1: Education, Strategy & Connection (Sunday, March 15) We kick off with high-impact learning and networking:

    • Crushing LinkedIn Headshots: A live shoot and modeling session with Leroy Tademy.

    • Reel Relevant in 10 Minutes: Learn how to go "From Phone to Post" with Camilla Fresh.

    • Branding Strategy: Transform from a photographer into a "Brand People Are Talking About" with Wayne Mullins.

    • Evening Social: Join us for a St. Patrick’s Day–inspired shoot at Finnegan’s Wake for collaboration and portfolio building.

    Day 2: Implementation & Application (Monday, March 16) Monday is all about applying what you've learned to real-world scenarios:

    • The Power of Visibility: Misti Johnson leads a session on moving your business forward with social media, followed by a hands-on shooting session.

    • Teaming with AI: Andrée Hebert closes the retreat with a guide on using AI to grow your photography business.

    Don't miss this opportunity to connect with peers and elevate your business!
