AMG Photography Northpoint Cove Retreat

What to Expect

A gentle pause from the pace of everyday life. A time to grow in the art of storytelling family photography. A place to connect with other photographers who genuinely care about their work and supporting each other. Ann Marie is hosting this retreat at a luxury property called Northpoint Cove in Deerwood, MN. Enjoy photographing a variety of styled shoots on a private beach, in the woods, and inside this beautiful property.

Three lifestyle photo sessions, styled, yet easy to incorporate into your own work. Build a portfolio that enhances your work, yet fits what you already do!

❋ Storytelling Photo Sessions

This retreat is intentionally small - up to 6 people. This allows for individual instruction, a relaxing shooting environment in which there is no competition, but rather space to share ideas and explore your creativity.

❋ Collaborative Energy

From editing techniques to ways to stage your sessions in a way that focuses on simplicity and light to strategies for building your business, we will work as a group to address all of your needs!

❋ Strategies to Enhance your Business

Enjoy this luxury property on a beautiful lake in the Brainerd Lakes area. Sauna and hot tub , gym and private beach are all for you to enjoy! Close to the charming town of Crosby which has fun shops and cafes. We will have time to connect and have fun in addition to growing in our creativity!
