New to our Retreats?

Here’s how it works…

1. It all happens online.

Get every lesson from every instructor— ready with the click of a mouse any time you want to watch.

2. Learn on YOUR schedule 

You can watch (and rewatch) as much as you wish! Prioritize what sounds interesting & exciting to you, move on to other lessons when you’re ready for more.

You’ve got what it takes…

it just doesn’t always feel like it.

And guess what? That’s okay.

But those big dreams you have for your newborn photography business are totally possible

—you just might need a little help along the way. 

Whether you’re feeling eager to keep learning at any phase in your career, or if you’re overwhelmed & confused with little details that sneak up on you and add stress during your shoots, or like you’re stuck in a rut and you just need a little inspiration to shake you out of your funk …

There’s no shame in any of it.

Hi. I’m Lisa.

~ founder of The Milky Way and newborn photographer of more than a decade over at Milk & Honey Photography …

Now … if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my newborn photography career, it’s that the more I’m exposed to other artists—the freer I feel to be myself and develop my own personal style …

… the more I develop my own best practices based on the tips I gather from a bunch of different sources …

And the better my work gets.

What it Doesn’t mean…

• That doesn’t mean comparing your work side-by-side with someone who’s been in the business longer, has way more experience, and has probably clocked a lot more hours of expert education than you …
• It doesn’t mean becoming a copycat, and just mimicking what you see your Internet Icons doing, so you become a dupe of their work, instead of confidently standing in your own identity …
• And it definitely doesn’t mean spending your precious time going down endless Youtube rabbit trails trying to piece together bits and pieces of free information when you discover another thing you didn’t know you didn’t know.

Instead it means…
Comparing your work today with your work from the past—taking time to celebrate and acknowledge how much you’ve grown.
Drawing inspiration from photographers you admire, letting your creativity lead the way as you develop your unique style. .
Committing to your development—learning something new every day, and practicing your skills to get better with time.

And sure, while you run your business with a messy bun on your head and a hot cup of coffee in hand—

You deserve to feel confident in yourself, strong in your skills, and proud of the priceless memories you create for your clients. 

That means between shooting, editing, tackling your to-do list, and actually living your personal life, you need a source of inspiration, encouragement, and growth that’s reliable, safe, and drama-free.

That’s exactly why we created The {online} Newborn Retreat

“I was looking for the right way of doing things, instead I found permission to do things the way that worked for me.”

~Newborn Retreat alumna turned instructor, Kelly Goggin

The {online} Newborn Retreat brings together a diverse group of photographers from all over the world to teach techniques & topics through the specific lens of newborn photography.

“What I realized was that everyone was doing things so differently

– but they were all successful.

If you’re open & teachable, when you attend the {online} Newborn Retreat, you get so much more than what you think you need.”

You could pay a similar price for just ONE in-depth lesson …

Or, you could can enjoy classes from 26 amazing photographers that you can revisit time & again as you need it in your business.

How to know if the {Online} Newborn Retreat is right for you:

• You’re watching what other photographers are doing to see if you can discover something new. You enjoy trying new approaches and learning new techniques
• You’ve been doing this for a while, but if you’re honest, you feel a little stuck and you’re in a bit of a creative rut.
• You’re just getting started, and while you’ve got a creative vision for your work, it’s the actual posing, wrapping, lighting, and editing you want some instruction on to boost your confidence.

The only Retreat you can pause, rewind, & rewatch – any time you like, as many times as you want.

Instead of trying to soak up and retain as much in-person education as you can, or devoting countless hours to fluff-filled DIY education videos, dig into value-packed education from some of the top names in newborn photography …developed with YOU in mind.

And, while you’re at it, quit feeling like you’re all by yourself on the journey—and join the drama-free community of other newborn photographers ready to cheer you on and champion you in your business as you do the same for them.

Over 27,500 students have experienced our online retreats + classes…

will you be next?

With such a wide variety of talent joining us this year to teach, we don’t just get to witness how one person works; we get to see the process from a variety of different photographers.

Because there isn’t just ONE way to do things
(and for that I’m grateful!)

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Innovative Business Model:
   • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
   • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
3. Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
   • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond personal study; we take an extra step by reselling. It’s important to note that we are not the official course providers, meaning certain premium services aren’t included in our package:
     • No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
     • No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
     • No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
     • No direct email support from the author or their team.

   We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. Your understanding of our unique approach is greatly appreciated.

Refund is acceptable:

• Firstly, item is not as explained
• Secondly, Item do not work the way it should.
• Thirdly, and most importantly, support extension can not be used.

Thank you for choosing us! We’re so happy that you feel comfortable enough with us to forward your business here.
