Vacation While working
start to finish steps to Shape your portfolio,
getting hired & produce photoshoots remotely
for brands while traveling
Ideal for photographers, models, influencers, & all types of creatives
What’s inside:
Creative minds are fueled by new experiences that feed the curiosity. If you’re creating in the same place you see day in and day out or are living somewhere you aren’t particularly inspired by, like me, you may begin to feel burned out or even worse…feeling like giving up on your photography dreams all together.
Learning how to pitch and create photoshoot concepts remotely for fashion brands can get you traveling to any location you’re feeling called to and re-energize your creative spark.
I’ve done exactly this for brands such as Gooseberry, Revolve, Blackbough Swim and Good American while traveling to places like Positano, Italy, Lake Atitilan Guatemala, and Tulum, Mexico.
In the 5 weeks of classes during Vacation While Working audio course, I share with you the exact and easy to follow steps I use to curate a portfolio, dream up a photoshoot concept for a brand pitch, how to confidently contact a fashion brand decision maker directly and ultimately making the photoshoot come to life while you travel to any destination in the world that inspires you.
What’s including:
5 weeks of classes including audio lessons and case studies, reflection props, WhatsApp group chat with other creative ladies in the session, and editable templates for organizing and pitching photoshoots

“Absolutely loved Susan’s course! Her candid and straight-forward approach is refreshing. Covering everything essential for aspiring travel/on-location photographers. She delves into budgeting and handling unexpected challenges, ensuring you’re well-prepared to make the most of any situation. It’s like getting adivce from a long time friend! 100% recommend taking her course for a solid foundation.”
“Girl! Thanks so much for this course! It’s so helpful! You made it so straight to the point and easy to follow. It definitely made me feel more confident about contact brands. I can tell you put so much time and detail into it!”
““My GOD everything I ever need to know! It’s all my questions that I’ve wondered for so long! I love that you’re specific & clear but also casual like we are having a conversation. I have a notebook full of notes already!””
“I truly could not recommend this course more. Susan gives such an in-depth and authentic perspective on navigating this industry that is genuinely un-paralleled. I’ve taken other courses where I felt all the information was un-helpful, basic, and still left me feeling lost. After listening to Susan, you leave feeling more motivated and with a refreshing sense of clarity- you feel like you finally know what to do with your life and what steps to put out in front of yourself. I also love hearing about her personal experiences and her very real approach to life. I’ve done mentorships with her and can honestly say that she has played an incremental part in leveling up my mentality and career. She is not afraid to share her knowledge, which I find to be very rare in the creative industry. As both a photographer and model, she has inspired me with every interaction and I’ve been better off ever since starting my journey with her. I cannot stress enough that this is the absolute best investment you can make in yourself”
