A RETREAT FOR CREATIVES
illuminare
/il:umi'nare/
Over the last 13 years, I've poured my heart & soul into creating a business that is known for serving people well.
In that time, I've helped many other business owners along their own journey in digging deep to find their own unique voice & gifts. This retreat is a time for us to do just that, in group form. Sharing meals & concepts. Breaking down the dynamics of exactly what is necessary to create a lasting business, with clients who are your biggest fans.
Regardless of where you are in your business, you will leave this retreat inspired, packed with fresh ideas, and with a new community of friends. I can't wait to see you there.

"I was able to identify what triggers those feelings of self-doubt, how to push past the fear, and what makes me & my business unique. I came away from the weekend with new friends, new perspective, and new goals."
Molly
"I don't even know where to start. I'm feeling all the things after this weekend. I'm feeling so inspired - creatively & personally. I'm feeling excitement for what the future of my business is going to look like. I'm feeling the joy of community & connection with fellow creative business owners."
Emily
"Best investment I've made for myself as a female and business owner! I love this group of women!"
Illuminare is a conversation, not a workshop. We believe sharing meals together leads to sharing our hearts. That sharing a bottle of red leads to sharing our fears. Illuminare provides a space for us to dig deep within ourselves & encourage our new friends, too.

-Creating a business with longevity
-Healthy boundaries & self-care
-Maintaining authenticity in a curated world
-Content creation for blogs and social media

What's Included
Things to Note:
Our group will remain intimate in size, therefore spots are very limited. Please note that you may share a (king size) bed with another attendee, so be ready to make a new friend, or come with your favorite roommate! (If you prefer to stay in a local hotel, you're still welcome to share in all other activities & meals with us!)
We'll be pampered by our own private in-house cook Olivia, who has an amazing menu planned for us with comfort food to warm your belly & soul. Dinner will be provided Friday, 2 meals on Saturday (guests will have time to explore the local fare for lunch on Saturday), and breakfast & lunch on Sunday. Olivia will also be leading a cooking demo!
Lodging for two nights in a gorgeous private mansion just outside of Louisville, Kentucky (rooms and possibly beds will be shared). Centrally located, it's just 12 minutes from downtown Louisville, an hour and a half from Cincinnati, and two & a half hours from Nashville.
This is a conversation, not a workshop. There is nothing quite like the change that can come from breaking bread with a group of like-minded women & sharing conversation deep into the night. Come prepared to get open, honest, and leave with new friends.

we'll also have..
I'm thrilled to be your host for what I know will be an amazing weekend of conversation & connection. I am a wedding & travel photographer based in Cincinnati, Ohio and have spent over 13 years photographing about 400 amazing wedding days. I'm a wife of 16 years to a red-headed, bearded mountain man, and the mom to 4 beautiful (and crazy...) kiddos.
I'm incredibly passionate about helping fellow creatives cut through the noise to hear their inner voice, find their unique gifting, and walk boldly in their own truth. My work has been published internationally, in an art museum, and photography has taken me all over the globe. I'm an open book & look forward to sharing my journey with you.
