Subject: Let's DO this!

Kicking off 2023 with a full calendar


Happenings this week


Let's go!

We're well into January now, and I hope 2023 has gotten off to a great start for you. Here at Grove headquarters, there's a lot going on!


First up, we tell you the Top 3 Books to Level Up Your Client Experience. These recommendations are thank to Molly Rose, who recently sat down for a talk about how she brings her background in hospitality to everything she does in her photography business. You can see the 3 must-read books on this recent IG post, and then check out the full Field Note for our chat with Molly!

Retreat Updates

There has been a lot going on with the retreat! Ready to get all the updates?


Our expert line-up is complete and it is AMAZING. Here's the rundown of who will be speaking this year:


  • Miranda Hayek can help you brand yourself and your clients with video, even if you've never done a single video in your life! Fresh branding for you, helpful offering for your clients. Win-win!


  • Alex Abramian can help you get your photos published in design publications, getting you more credibility with your clients and making your clients super happy to have you on their side. Win-win!


  • Skyler McCurine can help you get confident about your rates, find the words to communicate them and negotiate as needed, and will become an advocate for your wealth. Score!


  • Lauren Taylor (formerly Pressey) can teach you about working with people in interior photos, adding to the variety and appeal of your portfolio. Lifestyle interiors with people in them are gold for working with brands, ad campaigns, and publications. Hell yeah!



  • Our group sound bath will finish out the retreat and will give you the centering and focus that you seek. We don't want you to feel overwhelmed with all the goodness you'll learn. Rather, this sound bath will help to make you feel lighter, clearer, and ready to absolutely ROCK 2023.



The conversations are bound to be impactful,

and the connections will last a lifetime.

Don't miss out on this unparalleled access to industry experts

who are excited to help YOU thrive.


It's time to feed your business, feed your soul.
