what is it?

come join us for an intimate, one-day intensive workshop focussed on creating unique, creative portraits in any environment. we will demonstrate shooting in a wide variety of everyday situations and give specific techniques how to walk away with gorgeous images every time. from great light to "so-so" light to "what light?!?!” to “MY light!” we will teach our unique, award winning style of portraiture using a real couple and heck, we might even throw of few of you lucky attendees under the bus in front of the camera! we will be teaching our distinct style of casual posing, un-posing, thinking creatively, utilizing natural and artificial light of all shapes and sizes, and even revealing our mild to wild post-processing techniques in photoshop. we will also be taking about marketing, client relationships, gear selection and branding...so bring your thinking caps and notepads cuz it’s going to be a busy day!


who is it?

us...duh :)


when is it?

the shootshop will take place on wednesday march 26th from 9-6-ish followed by a wrap up dinner and no holds barred question and answer time. we will also be hosting a welcome dinner on tuesday march 25th to get the party started off right!


where is it?

come roll with us in our hood...the shootshop will take place in and around our radtastic studio in oceanside california.


how much?

the shootshop fee is $750 per person and open to all non southern california (los angeles-inland empire-orange county-san diego) residents. we will only be offering five spaces for southern california residents with a special shootshop fee of $950. we will be providing the welcome dinner the night before, breakfast, lunch, and the wrap up dinner...so the yummies in your tummies are covered!


how many?

we believe strongly in the importance of providing personal attention to all our workshop attendees so we will be limiting the number of attendees to fifteen spaces. so if you’re interested, get on it!


how to get in like flynn?

if you would like to attend, please take a minute to download our registration form, fill in your information and fax it on over to us! space is limited and seats will sell out fast so get on it it! after your registration is complete we will be sending out more information with all the pertinent details for travel arrangements, locations, etc. hope to see you there!


on a side note...since i am sure many of you might be wondering...oceasnide (where our studio is located) is about 40 minutes north of downtown san diego and the san diego international airport. we are also located about 45 minutes south of john wayne airport in orange county or 90 minutes south of LAX. so you've got three good airport options to fly into...but i would aim for san diego or john wayne if possible...unless you really enjoy sitting in LA traffic, which is you haven't, trust us...you won't :) the welcome dinner will probably be around 6:00 on tuesday and the dinner on wednesday evening will probably wrap up between nine and ten. feel free to email us with any other specific questions. also, please note, as soon as we receive your registration we will be sending out more detailed info about lodging, locations, times, etc.


what people are saying...(warning, blatant horn tootage ahead)

* The shootshop was better than what I thought it would be. To be honest, making such a large investment for a one-day seminar is scary because I’m never sure if it’ll be worth it. Trying to sum up my experience with adjectives and metaphors won’t do it justice. Beyond all else, Nate and Jaclyn were 100% real. They didn’t hide behind smoke and mirrors, answered every question with extra detail, and kept things fun. They’re an amazing team, but they remain humble via honesty, humor, and self-deprecation…all the things that makes my heart feel all warm-n-fuzzy.

If you have an opportunity to attend this workshop, DO IT! Even if it means having a yard sale, selling an organ, or naming your first child Natelyn to fund the experience, DO IT! You’ll be inspired and rejuvenated a thousand times over.

Nate and Jaclyn, thank you. These two words seem so small to express how I feel, but I hope they’ll suffice until I can think of something better. You are some of the most amazing people in the industry and I’m honored to have spent so much time with you. Thank you for giving of yourselves unconditionally and sincerely." - jasmine star

"* nate+jac, for lack of better words, you guys rocked my world! The shootshop was so beyond my expectations, and it was a source of such great inspiration not just for my business, but also has refreshed my perspective as an artist. thanks for many priceless faces, laughs, moments, lessons, etc. I feel so blessed to have shared in it all! the thing I walked away with the most was the freedom to just be myself and operate the business according to who i am, not who others want me to be - it already feels like a huge weight is lifted off of my shoulders." - ashey parsons

"* ...i can't express enough how much this workshop has and will improve my game. i have a long way to go, but at least now I know which road to take..." - chris vaugn

"* ...BITCHIN'. that's all i got. cause other than that - there just aren't words big enough to describe all that i took out of 15 hours with you two fine folk." - ben harms

"*...nate and jac...you guys totally inspired me and answered my bazillion questions...thanks so much for your openness and approachability! You guys have an awesome relationship and I am in *awe* of your talent. I thought you guys were uber talented before I came to the shootshop and now...well....you are up on a pedestal that I hope to one day climb up!" - sarah goodman

"* Nate and Jaclyn, thank you both so much for allowing me to be part of the shootshop. My head is still spinning (all the way around) with so much information being shared. Seeing the images from the day brings everything full circle. The word that keeps coming to my mind is passion. Your passion for your craft, your family, your ever-increasing circle of friends/fans and for life is the very definition of success. More inspiring yet is your ability to instill that passion in others." - mark

"* Nate and Jaclyn...You guys were so open and honest about everything. Your shootshop was enlightening and demystifying at the same time. As a photographer, I am definitely walking away with a whole new perspective and I am so grateful for that." - jason tran

"* nate, jaclyn, you are two of the most genuine-ish and humble-ish people, thanks for much for the inspiration and all the wonderful tips. I'd do this again in a heartbeat!" - chris waters
