Building members & revenue online for creatives
Raise your hand if you want to keep trading time for money?! No one? Ok, we have your attention :) In this class we show you how to set yourself apart as a photographer by offering other aspects needed in the industry. We will show you exactly how many of our members have implemented their own member programs, and online revenue streams to their offers. The idea here is to streamline our processes and make more money, in less time.
We’ll have 1.5hr class and then leave 30 minutes to open up the class to any and all business questions!

Holiday Set Bookings
Every year we have the opportunity to offer our members the BEST PERK EVER - Early access to the holiday set calendar!! On August 1st you can reserve your time (using your member code) for the holidays. The holiday sets will be installed the first week of October so you can start bringing clients in as early as October 6th. This allows for more weekend hours for everyone, as we’ve tended to sell out of weekends quickly in years past.
*Last year, members could only book member hours on weekdays, but this year we’ve updated this to allow for weekend hours! Every member can now use up to two consecutive hours each month during the holidays. This will enable you to use hours on both weekdays and weekends during our prime time!!
Members - set your alarm for 8am on August 1st! Links go live for the rest of the community on August 5th! Stay tuned for set details during ‘Christmas in July’ of course :) And if you’re not a member by now, this is the perfect time to start so you can lower your studio costs during the holidays!
Member Headshot Day
Member headshots are taken on a specific date, quarterly! This perk is included in all Signature & Premium memberships. Please use your member code to book your spot! Each member will get 5 minutes in front of the camera + a group shot. Please plan on arriving on-time and staying for an hour. If you have a wardrobe change, we will do those at the end as time persists.
Lighting Class 101
We understand that many of our friends in this community are natural light photographers. So in this class, we are opening up the world of external lighting so you can explore your creative ideas and goals! Whether you are looking for a better understanding of the equipment we have in studio, or you want an introduction to creative set-ups, we will cover it all in this 2-hour class, taught by lighting expert Kyle Durigan.
*this class is included with all memberships or just $99 for non-members

Business Class for Creatives
If you’re like me, you got into photography because you’re creative, you want to go against the grain, have more freedom to do what you want with your time. But running a photography business is so much more than just going out and taking photos! This is where we come in. Let us show you how to effectively run the game through our proven tools, sales funnels and scheduling. Once these tools are implemented, you can spend less time worrying about posting to the universe and feel more confident in your pitches, pricing and getting the word out there. Come to class May 9th with the Owner of Denver Photo Collective.
Mother's Day Colorful Shootout
This year the Mother’s Day set has been the biggest passion project yet. It’s truly inspired by all the warriors out there, myself included. The moms, who give up parts of themselves to give everything to their children, the moms who’ve lost children and still show up to work every damn day, the moms who spend their evenings indulging in a shitty tv show bc they just need a break.
We are the moms who can do it all, who have to do it all, who want to do it all. We don’t always get a thank you, we don’t always get praise for all that we do. And we know the sacrifices and the boss decisions we make are going to enhance our life and our family’s lives.
This styled shoot is a celebration of you and of me. We are F’ing Baddies in a messy bun. We smoke paci’s for breakfast dammit and we can organize, write a business plan and play super hero’s in our sleep. We are vibrant humans with so much to offer, and we should also get a freaking award. And a nap 🤣
So here’s your award: The brightest most epic-styled set for Mother’s Day celebrations. We want you to feel these colors in your soul.
The shootout will take place on April 6th and we’ve extended the time slots to 30 minutes each!! 3 sets, 3 sets of models and curated by some of the best women around.
Rebel & Romance
Love isn’t always rainbows and butterflies. But this love, this love is worth the drama. She’s a rebel, headed straight towards romance. And we’ll be here to capture it.
Join us February 3rd for a little twist on valentines day. We’re talking motorcycles and two love birds on the road to romance. It’s going to be edgy, it’s going to be HOT. It’s going to be at our studio with all the talent. Come play, you won’t regret it like that tat.
Stress Management for Creatives
This class is taught by our Studio Manager Ariana Van Anne. Ariana will cover the importance of managing our nervous system, how to curate our own stress management toolkits and even guide us through some life changing breathwork sessions. We’ll of course end the evening with a little dance party! It’s the most rewarding class you’ll ever attend!
After Midnight Photo Shootout
Our first ever shootout with strobes and off camera flash! Bring your camera and we’ll bring the fun!
The theme of this shootout is NYE - AFTER MIDNIGHT. Think shenanigans, martinis, pizza, disco balls and riding around in a grocery cart :) We will have 3 set’s for you, including a styled product shot set with our partner Beauty Booze!
Models, sets and lighting are all included (no experience necessary). Just come play! Your ticket is just $49.

Kyle, the co-owner of Denver Photo Collective has finally invested in his dream tools for the studio. We can’t wait to show you why.
So maybe we spent $7,000 on lighting equipment and now we need to actually show you how it all works hahahah. But seriously, we have some insane things to show you. If you plan on leveling up your photography, this is the BEST place to start. When we can comfortably add lighting and modifiers to our arsenal, we are changing the game. LET’S GOOOOOOO
Skin Re-Touching Class
Chelsea Reynolds has shown us how to shoot with lighting and pose our models and now she is back to complete the process with her editing tools.
Skin re-touching class will cover how to take your lifestyle, beauty shots and headshots to the next level. If you don’t have photoshop yet, please download before class, because we will be using our new skills in class! Say goodbye to those small imperfections and hello to the most glowy, (but not over edited), skin!
