Here are a few words about their experience from the 2022 attendees.
CAROLYN
Annie Marie's Luxe workshop was the best. I've followed Annie for a long time and was so excited to spend time with her in real life. We watched Annie style models and then she coached us to style our own shoots using her amazing and extensive wardrobe. Our final day Annie shared some of her retouching secrets and we worked on our photos. Annie stayed editing with us until 10 pm on our last day. I don't think any of us wanted it to end. It was THAT good!
Annie is warm, gracious and so friendly. You feel at ease and taken care of from the moment she says hello. No matter where you are on your photographic journey, Annie Marie has got you!
TODD
Annie is the best! She is such a gentle humble person who genuinely cares about her students! It was the opposite of a stale classroom lecture!
The class led by Annie who is so very passionate about art and photography. We got an abundance of encouragement which was so very helpful! Her collection of outfits and props was amazing.
ERIC
"Not only is Annie an amazing person, photographer, and friend, she is an amazing teacher! From floral crowns to photoshop help, she shared it all!
Honestly, one of the best workshops I have been to! The small intimate size of the class allowed for hands on learning, one on one help from Annie, and the amazing opportunity to style our very own looks with a model.
10 out of 10. I highly recommend Annie Marie's Luxe Workshop!"
REGINA
"The Luxe Workshop was a special experience I will always remember.
If you have any interest in learning about Fine Art Portraiture, I highly recommend Annie's workshop. She is not only one of the top fine art photographers in the industry, she is also an incredibly kind, generous, and talented mentor. The workshop was well organized. There is a nice balance between learning about lighting, styling, posing, and editing. Annie is an open book and will help you in any way she can.
I really enjoyed the small class environment that allows everyone to bond and learn from each other in a more personal setting. I love the special connections I made with everyone in the 3 full days we got to spend together living and learning under the same roof. The last night we were treated to an amazing culinary dinner experience from Annie's son, Nelson. He is a talented chef and to say his dishes were delicious would be an understatement.
The location of Annie's studio and our quaint lodging was a quick Uber ride from the Minneapolis airport and within walking distance to restaurants and a great local coffee shop if you like a little burst of caffeine in the mornings. It was nice that we really had no need for a car during our stay.
I returned home from Minnesota feeling excited and highly motivated. If you decide to sign up for the Luxe Workshop.. I promise you will love it!"
ALBA
"Annie was an excellent host. All guests received a packet with all the plans. I enjoyed planning my model’s styling and learning how to retouch the images. Most of all, our last night we had a French fine dinning experience with all of us, photographers, sharing our moments and educational tips from the workshop. It was a hardworking, fun, interactive and educational experience."
DIANE
"Annie Marie is not only hugely talented, but incredibly kind, humble and willing to share her years of knowledge!
The LUXE Workshop was intimate and fun, where creativity and learning are combined into an amazing 3 day experience!"
CARRIE
"This workshop is so much more than just a workshop… it’s an experience that’s has changed the trajectory of my career.
Annie is the most amazing mentor and teacher; she gives absolutely fully and holds nothing back. I learned so much about fine art inspiration, styling and shooting. But more importantly, we all developed deep friendships and have an ongoing support group. Annie and the other attendees have become a consistently wise and supportive sounding board for one another.
It’s truly worth every penny and more!"
KAREN
"Attending Annie's workshop was the best thing I did for my business. She put a lot of thought into it and helped to demonstrate how she poses fine art with lighting and photoshop training. She had a few surprises that were a huge welcome!
I'd love to attend another workshop in the future... Luxe II?."
