"If you are ready to level-up your wedding photography, learn to create a killer client experience, all while learning from industry leaders, you MUST invest in Crystal. Serious game changer"
—Hillary
"You MUST invest in Crystal...serious game changer"
I hear ya friend. I started this business at 29 years old burned out from an office job that I had reached my full potential. My husband thought I was crazy when I told him I wanted to be a photographer, one year later I was doing this full time. By year three I had 5x my income from year two. I've invested thousands, yes I mean thousands of dollars toward bettering my business. I've learned what works and what doesn't. I now run a thriving business serving the Rocky Mountains and beyond.
I've been there too.
I'm finally sharing my secrets. I want to cheer you on and watch you do the same.
but guess what...

ENROLL NOW
I've built a sustainable business, booking my dream clients and working at dream venues. I've photographed weddings all over my home state of Colorado, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Alabama & even Hawaii. My business brings myself and my family so much joy. We have the freedom to travel more with destination wedding weekends turned family vacations. We are living in our dream home and living debt free aside from our mortgage.
But you already knew that
Crystal
well, hello. i'm
I was in debt, charging $50 sessions
When I started, I was only charging $50 for portrait sessions and $700 for weddings. I did not have the confidence to charge more, and I didn’t know how to attract dream clients. I felt that achieving a debt-free, dream life was unattainable. But after years of experience, I have created a business that brings in a consistent stream of inquiries, a calendar booked 12+ months in advance, and clients who rave about their experience. I have learned what works and what doesn’t, and now it’s time for me to share that knowledge with you.
I want to save you the time and teach you how to reach your dream life. Pay off that debt. Take that vacation. Have the confidence to charge what you are worth.
but it wasn't always this way.
the lux retreat is the only one of its kind because...
Its a retreat build on self care & community support.
I've attended workshops & conferences, but when I built the lux retreat I wanted it to be different. A comfortable and inviting experience. A week built on knowledge and scaling your business, but also a week built on community, relaxation & self care. I've burned myself trying to do it all and getting half the work done. I've doubled my production & revenue (actually 5x my revenue if we're gonna be real) but implementing systems that includes self care, mountain escapes, girl time, and some wine (of course). By teaching you my systems it doesn't have to be all hustle all the time. The right systems you can grow and scale your business while allowing time for self care and have a fulfilling life.
This for you if:
you want to recharge with like minded creatives
YOu Don't like learning
you want to double your wedding bookings
YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO DO THE WORK

Let’s Do This Thing!
SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
Is Lodging Included?
3 nights of lodging is included in a luxury mountain home. Also all the food and wine you could want. I want to keep this as affordable as possible which is why it's all included!
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer payment plans?
Absolutely- you can pay in full or make 3 monthly payments!
What do I need to bring?
Pack for 3 days including lounge wear, warm clothes for shooting outside as it is still chilly in the Mountains in April, your camera, and a notebook or laptop for note taking.
How is this retreat different?
Aside from the learning, I am an open book and want to treat and spoil you like I do my clients. I want you to feel taken care of, supported and really know how to grow your business when it's done. Self care and escape is a big part of my business which is why a retreat is the perfect way to deliver this information.
Where is the retreat located
The luxury home is nestled just outside of Breckenridge, Colorado on 5 acres of forested land. The perfect place to dream and grow.
Will you teach us how to break into destination weddings?
Being in a destination market, that is my specialty! I teach you how to attract, book destination clients that have them raving about you.
How much is the retreat?
It is normally priced at $1997, but is currently priced at $1497! Did I mention it includes lodging, food & wine?
How do I get there?
Full itinerary and directions will be sent out to attendees as the workshop nears. However, you do need to get yourself there. Breckenridge is located in the Rocky Mountains about 90 minutes west of Denver. Denver International Airport is the best airport to fly into. Being that we have a very large airport you can usually get a direct flight from just about anywhere! I will connect attendees together as the workshop nears which will be a great opportunity to connect a car pool!
I completely understand. Every dollar invested in your business is an important one! I'm happy to answer any questions and jump on a call.
