Upcoming Workshops

One Day Workshop

May 3, 2024

Nicole Ashley is hosting an intimate workshop in her Edmonton Studio on Friday May 3rd. She wanted to create an exciting and inspiring day around education and community in a non intimidating environment. Half of the battle of signing up for events and workshops is putting yourself out there. She wanted the group to get the most out of the day by making it relaxed, beautiful and without egos. The group will start off with a welcome hang with coffee and snacks, have a mental health check in and then dive into education with two styled shoots. Each artist will receive a custom swag, a new professional headshot, solo time to photograph 3 styled sets, and a private online mentorship check in after the workshop.

When: May 3rd 2024 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Where: Nicole Ashley's Studio, Edmonton, AB
