THE ART OF MOTHERHOOD & MATERNITY

Step into an intimate and immersive photography experience set within a beautifully curated studio space in downtown LA. Designed for a select group of six, this workshop is an invitation to slow down, refine your artistry, and capture the quiet magic of motherhood and maternity through a thoughtful, hands-on approach.

The day begins with an inspiring creative conversation, setting the tone for two beautifully styled sessions—a tender motherhood session and an elegant maternity session. You'll shoot alongside Kristine Boel, observing, experimenting, and challenging yourself to see light, movement, and emotion in new ways.

The following morning, gather online for an exclusive editing session where Kristine will reveal her full Lightroom workflow—guiding you through her process of transforming raw images into luminous, emotive portraits.

Throughout the day, enjoy a selection of curated drinks and snacks, with the option to unwind over a cozy dinner afterward. As a post-workshop gift, you’ll receive Kristine’s coveted black-and-white Lightroom preset, along with a beautifully captured portfolio of images and the potential to cultivate lasting creative connections.

A retainer is required to secure your place, with the final balance due no later than three weeks before the workshop. Your investment includes the studio, models, hair & makeup, styling, food + beverages, and access to a private Facebook group for continued inspiration and support.

THE STUDIO

Kristine is thrilled to invite you into one of LA’s most stunning spaces—a studio designed to inspire, create, and capture timeless beauty. Rooted in Japandi aesthetics, this space seamlessly blends the organic warmth of Japanese minimalism with the bold, refined elegance of Scandinavian design.

Soft neutral tones, natural materials, and organic forms set the stage for effortless storytelling. The textured beige lime-washed walls radiate warmth, while sculptural furniture and defined shapes add depth and sophistication—serving as both artistic props and a backdrop that elevates every frame.

This studio isn’t just a space; it’s an experience. A place where light dances across clean lines, where simplicity enhances emotion, and where every element is designed to bring a sense of refinement and artistry to your work. Kristine can’t wait to welcome you here—to slow down, create with intention, and craft something truly timeless together.

THE DAY

A Creative & Intimate Photography Workshop 

(2 PM – 7 PM, with an optional dinner & drinks afterward!)

This small, intimate workshop (max 6 participants) is designed to give you the space, time, and hands-on experience to truly deepen your craft. You’ll be shooting alongside me and your fellow mentor students—observing, experimenting, and stretching yourself creatively in a supportive, inspiring setting.

Throughout the day, we’ll embrace both the art and the heart of maternity and motherhood photography, diving into how to create honest, emotive images that feel as beautiful as the stories they tell.

3:15 PM – Creative Talk & Session Prep

We’ll start with an open, inspiring conversation about how to approach a session—what to prep, how to set the mood, and how to execute a shoot that feels intentional and effortless. We’ll also talk about light, styling, and client connection—the little things that make all the difference.

This is a day to slow down and fully immerse yourself, so we’ll have drinks and snacks throughout to keep things cozy and relaxed.

4:15 PM – Motherhood Session

Our first shoot of the day is an intimate motherhood session featuring a mama and her little one. This is about capturing raw, unposed connection—movement, emotion, and the in-between moments that make storytelling photography so powerful.

You’ll have the chance to shoot alongside me, watch how I interact and direct, and challenge yourself to step outside your usual flow.

5:15 PM – Reset & Recharge (30-Minute Break)

Take a breather, grab a drink, and soak in the experience so far. These little moments of pause are just as important as the shooting itself, allowing us to reset before moving into the next creative space.

5:45 PM – Maternity Session

Now, we’ll transition into a maternity session, focusing on the quiet strength and beauty of pregnancy. We’ll explore subtle posing, natural light, and ways to bring softness and depth into each frame.

Again, you’ll be shooting alongside me, observing, experimenting, and leaning into new techniques in a safe, collaborative space.

7:15 PM – Optional Dinner & Drinks

We’ll wrap the day with a relaxed dinner, where we can unwind, connect, and reflect on everything we’ve experienced. This is such a great time to talk about creativity, business, and whatever else feels meaningful in the moment.

The Next Day – Editing & Q&A (Online via Zoom: 10 AM – 12 PM)

The following morning, we’ll meet online for an in-depth editing session. I’ll walk you through my full Lightroom workflow, editing a curated selection from both sessions and breaking down my process—color, tone, subtle refinements, and all the little tweaks that make an image sing.

We’ll close with 30 minutes of open Q&A, giving you space to ask anything—editing, business, creative direction—whatever you need to feel more confident in your work.
