ABSOLUTELY LIFE CHANGING. a little over a month ago, up at 2am after a long shift at the restaurant, i saw that had only one spot left for their retreat. i had been eyeing this for over a year but it seemed like a distant dream to go to something like this. well…i took the jump and secured the very last spot. i was so nervous but am incredibly grateful i made this decision!
we learned so much about food styling, photography, post-production editing, pitching, pricing, and contracts! the team guiding and teaching (and also nourishing us with delicious meals and snacks) were some of the kindest and most empowering people i've had the pleasure of meeting. the friends and community built during this retreat are some of the most supportive and talented individuals! i’m so happy that i stumbled on the FPC account just under 2 years ago. little did i know back then the impact it would have on my life. i can still remember the first time i listened to their podcast!
if you had told me last year that i would be coming back from this trip, i never would have believed you. when i started this account last year, turning it into a business was just a daydream. the tools I learned this past week have really helped me to realize that I CAN DO THIS. it’s not some hobby i’ll do on the side, it’s what i intend to do full time. a year brought me here, and i can’t wait to see where I’ll be a year from now!
