Ep. 136 - Capturing Retreat Magic: How Photography Elevates Your Event with Jessica McIntosh

Jessica McIntosh is a branding, portrait and retreat photographer with 15 years of experience capturing the most beautiful moments when women finally invest in themselves!

Today we talk about the huge value that a photographer adds to your in-person retreat or live event. And how communication, collaboration, and encouragement are key to capturing images that best reflect you and your brand. 

Growth and Wisdom Highlights:

• How to build a retreat team, including a photographer, to best support you and your attendees

• Infuse personality into your retreat! Bring in people who can model proactive behavior and help everyone feel comfortable.

• Communication is key! Consider the best tools to communicate with your team and attendees throughout the event. 

Take-Aways:

• Take the time to set expectations so your photographer knows what is important to you and what is not.

• Ask yourself, “Do I just need coverage for my event or do I also want to offer my attendees an experience like headshots or mini-branding sessions?"

• Squeeze in a branding session for yourself during the retreat!
