Meet Sarah

Your Host & Brand Designer

Sarah is a Brand & Website Designer, photographer, and creative educator with a background in both wedding photography and brand design. She is the host and founder of Brand Camp — a free semi-annual event created to help creative entrepreneurs build brands that feel aligned, intentional, and undeniably them.

In her session, Sarah is walking you through one of the most powerful and most overlooked parts of branding — defining your dream client. Because when you know exactly who you're talking to, everything else becomes so much clearer. Your message, your visuals, your marketing — it all starts to make sense and work together the way it was always meant to.

VIP members also get access to Sarah's live Brand & Website Audits, where she'll dive into your brand and website and give you clear, actionable feedback on your overall design, flow, and messaging — so you know exactly what's working and what to refine.

And on Thursday, May 28, Sarah is going live for everyone with Qualities of an Aligned Brand — a candid conversation about what it really means to build a brand that grows with you, and how to maintain it long after the launch excitement fades.

Sarah's sessions are your anchor throughout the week — bringing clarity, direction, and a grounded perspective to every decision you make for your brand.

Meet Amanda

Amanda Writesman is a marketing strategist, educator, and business coach dedicated to helping creative entrepreneurs build their dream businesses — without wasting time. With a background in marketing for small businesses and a deep passion for teaching, Amanda has made it her mission to help wedding pros, artists, and service-based entrepreneurs simplify their marketing, connect with their ideal clients, and grow with confidence.

In her session, Amanda is pulling back the curtain on what's actually working on Instagram right now — and how to stand out as a unique brand on one of the most powerful platforms available to you. She walks creatives through how to build identifiable content that connects, contributes, and converts, so every post you share is working toward something bigger.

If Instagram has ever felt like a guessing game, this session will change that — and give you a strategy you can actually stick to.

Meet Rachel

Founder of Haute Stock, Stock Photography

Rachel is the founder of Haute Stock, a premium stock imagery and branding membership for women entrepreneurs and creative business owners. Over the past 11 years, she has grown Haute Stock entirely through organic marketing, evergreen content, and strategic visuals — and she's built a business that proves you don't have to be everywhere all the time to see real, lasting results.

In her session, Rachel is sharing a simple, sustainable workflow for creating helpful blog posts, designing traffic-driving and save-worthy Pinterest pins, using visuals strategically, and building a content system that grows your visibility and inquiries over time. Without needing to post every day.

The way you think about content will never be the same after this one — and the system you'll walk away with will keep working long after you build it.

After building their photography business alongside full-time careers in education, Courtney and Robert took the leap to pursue their work full time, and haven't looked back since.

In her session, Courtney pulls back the curtain on the curation process that has helped grow their average client investment from $4K to $12K — sharing a step-by-step framework for building a portfolio that feels elevated, cohesive, and aligned with your next level. She challenges creatives to move beyond choosing their favorite images and start curating with real purpose and strategy.

A portfolio that reflects not just where you've been, but exactly where you're going — that's what this session is built to help you create.

Meet Shaun

Shaun is a photographer, speaker, and the Founder and Visionary of Kissbooks — and the kind of person who shows up fully for everything he does, whether that's mentoring creatives, leading with intention, or competing in a very serious game of pickleball. After photographing more than 500 weddings over a 15-year career, Shaun now spends much of his time helping photographers grow from starving artists into thriving creative entrepreneurs who use both their talent and their hearts to make an impact.

In his session, Shaun is having the conversation most people avoid. We all know the phrase "the elephant in the room" — usually it means the thing nobody wants to talk about. But what if the real elephant in the room is the belief that's been quietly controlling your life for years? This is the lesson that goes beyond strategy and straight to the heart of what's actually holding you back.

VIP members also get access to Shaun's bonus session, The Missing Chapter — a deeper conversation around why your clients haven't finished their story, and what that means for you and your business.

Beyond strategy, beyond tactics — this is the conversation that goes straight to the heart of what's actually been holding you back.
