SESH is not your typical workshop. In an industry saturated with surface-level workshops, SESH stands alone. It’s called an intensive because it's intense. Spanning over 2.5 days, we’ll clock nineteen hours of straight education and deep dive into your artistry and business strategy. This intimate, supportive coaching-based experience fuses old-school art school critiques of your printed work alongside strategic business insights to elevate your career. You’ll be pushed beyond the fluff and into deep, transformative work. Through raw, honest discussions, Christina will challenge everything you think you know about your craft and uncover the artist you’re meant to be. You won’t just leave inspired—you’ll walk away with a concrete, customized roadmap and action plan tailored to your goals, your vision, and your voice.
This is not another shooting workshop. You’re simply here for education. So feel free to leave your cameras at home.

Nothing is off-limits (except Christina’s Rolodex)—because true mentorship isn’t about keeping secrets; it’s about opening doors. Christina brings an all-in approach, holding nothing back when it comes to sharing her knowledge, experience, and tried and true strategies. She’ll give you raw, unfiltered insight into what actually works from the lessons learned from years in the industry. There’s no sugarcoating, no fluff, and absolutely no gatekeeping. She’s invested in your success, and if you’re willing to show up and do the work, she’ll make sure you leave with the tools, clarity, and confidence to level up in ways you never imagined.
Christina cares deeply about the integrity of art and upholding an industry standard of exceptional photography. In a world that often prioritizes speed over substance, she is committed to preserving the craft—pushing photographers to create work that is intentional, refined, and rooted in true artistry. Her journey has been a slow, deliberate climb, built on years of experience, trial and error, and an unwavering dedication to her vision. She’s honored to share the hard-earned lessons, insights, and secrets she’s gathered along the way—not to hand out shortcuts, but to give you the tools to carve your own authentic path to success.
Christina will lead the majority of SESH, and on the final day, Alia will dedicate three hours of an open AMA and portfolio reviews offering you valuable insights and personalized feedback. Throughout your time at Wildflower Farms, attendees will have ample opportunities to connect with the planners and designers under Alia’s guidance, exchange ideas, and build lasting relationships over shared meals.
“I expected to learn a lot, but I didn’t anticipate just how deeply personal and transformative the experience would be. Christina doesn’t just teach—she invests in you. The level of honesty, the direct feedback, and the depth of conversation were beyond what I imagined. It wasn’t just about business strategy; it was about uncovering my unique creative voice in a way that felt both eye-opening and empowering. ”
“Of all the education I’ve invested in, SESH was the most transformational. The small group setting made it feel more personal than any other workshop or coaching session I’ve attended. Christina’s honesty and willingness to push me were exactly what I needed—I knew she wasn’t just telling me what I wanted to hear. SESH wasn’t about changing myself to fit a trend. Christina focused on who I am and how to take my work to the next level—giving it to me straight, but always from a place of genuine support. I felt safe to be vulnerable, challenged in the best way, and truly seen. It was all just so refreshing! ”
“If you need clarity on what’s holding you back, Christina will put a fat red Sharpie X on it, circle it a million times, and help you map out a path forward. You’ll leave with more work to do than you expected—but with guidance from someone who’s been where you are and knows exactly what it takes to succeed. SESH is all about getting real. Christina created an environment where we could be vulnerable, learn from her, and grow alongside each other.”
