TESTIMONIALS

“The Portrait Masters conference is one of the only conferences I've been to where we truly see the beginnings of body/age/gender diversity across the models and educators. It's an incredible experience to be part of something where they encourage heart story as much as technical education - helping creatives see all the ways we can impact the world with our work instead of "just making pretty images". While the speakers are incredible, the friendships made on the floor are equally as important for creating communities in the otherwise lonely world of entrepreneurship. ”

- TERI HOFFORD

“One of the first things I decided to do when I went full-time as a photographer was book a ticket to be at the Portrait Masters and I'm so glad that I did. Not only did I come back home feeling energized and excited about making my business a success but I found a group of friends that would be there to help and support me even when things got tough. It was an amazing week with amazing speakers but I'll be honest I love to go back because it's a really great time with great people too! ”
