As photographers, what we need now, more than anything, is connection.

We need to be together and inspired to keep going.

We need to heal and grow together.

But how can we do that in the middle of a global pandemic?

Eighteen months ago, we realized that there was something missing from the boutique photography industry.

This missing piece was an event where boutique portrait photographers could come together and focus on their photography business.

I wanted to create a place where you could sit next to another boutique photographer and help each other out.

This past February, in 2020, we hosted our first ever conference for boutique portrait photographers who dream of something bigger.

It was amazing.

The energy was infectious.

The community was full of camaraderie.

Watching photographers come together, believe in themselves, set goals for their photography business, and leave with a plan was amazing. 

COVID Changed Our Plans For The Better

A month later, COVID hit.

As we started planning for 2021, we looked at all of the options.

We didn’t want to cancel the event because photographers need this now more than ever.

We want to be that strong voice that you can listen to.

The one helping you believe in yourself.

The person providing new strategies to use during these uncertain times.

The one who will be the bridge to a fabulous future. 

What we refused to do for this year’s event, was a pre-recorded video where the speakers send in their videos ahead of time.

We also didn’t want to do Zoom webinar.

This needed to be bigger.

To get ideas, we attended every live virtual event that we could.

One event was like nothing we’d ever experienced.

The host had huge screens around her, where she could see all of us.

We were interacting with her in a way we wouldn’t have been able to in person.

She was calling out our names constantly and interacting with us in the live chat.

We were going into breakout rooms.

We got a big box of swag that we opened before each program over the three days.

It was even cooler than an in-person event.

That is what we decided to do with Go Boutique Live.

We made it even cooler than it would be in person. 

Invest in Yourself

It is a three-day, live, virtual event, February 23rd, 24th and 25th, from early morning until late at night.
