FREE SKYPE MENTORING SESSION | WORKFLOW WEDNESDAY | ASHTON KELLEY PHOTOGRAPHY | MARYLAND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Did someone say free? YES! And, it was me!

Today we launched our formal itinerary and registration for the AKP Charming Retreat and I could not be more excited about the intimate educational weekend we have  planned. I’ve recruited a fabulous group of lady bosses to teach, a fabulous team of stylists to make some creative magic, and we’ve got some amazing gals signed up already to capture and soak up the experience. To kick off the excitement we all share for this upcoming workshop, we are offering an incentive to further ensure your educational experience is efficient and personal.

We are celebrating the launch of registration by offering an early bird rate, and a lowered registration fee! We want to make this chance as attainable as possible to everyone, as well as amplify its worth. For the next five gals that sign up, we will not only honor all of these monetary incentives, but I am throwing in a Skype mentoring session FREE! This $299 valued one-on-one experience will be gifted to the next few girls who commit to the Charleston, SC experience in August.

I just mentioned that we also launched the content for this particular weekend! Wanna check out our mentors, topics, and social activities? Here ya go:
