Hi! We're Nami & Leo

Growing up we thought we had two choices:

• × Do something you hate but at least it pays the bills OR
• × Do something you love but struggle to make money

We found ourselves in a 9-5 we hated and really wanted to do something we felt passionate about. 

So we taught ourselves photography and started our own dream businesses: Surfgirlnz and Nami Creative.

Today, we’re proud to be industry leaders in both surf photography and women’s empowerment photography.

We KNOW photography:

• ✔️ We know how to take good photos
• ✔️ We know how to create a brand around photography
• ✔️ We know how to create a wildly successful photography business (we both have 6 figure photography businesses) 
• ✔️ We know how to overcome imposter syndrome

And we're so excited to teach you everything we know in this workshop.

100% transparency - we’ll show you exactly what works for us. No gatekeeping! 

This workshop is for you if you're ready to...

• ✔️ Feel confident using your camera and know exactly what settings to use
• ✔️ Capture photos you’re actually proud to share
• ✔️ Build a portfolio that attracts your dream clients
• ✔️ Start making money with your photography (even if you’ve never had a paying client before)
• ✔️ Know how to price, promote, and book paid shoots
• ✔️ Become a booked out photographer 
• ✔️ Finally feel like a real photographer (because you are!)
• ✔️ Connect with creative women who inspire and support you
• ✔️ Feel empowered, excited, and creatively on fire

Our schedule for the day:

10am - Meet & greet

We’ll start the day by sharing how we went from unfulfilling 9-5s to building our dream 6 figure photography businesses: Surfgirlnz and Nami Creative.

Then it’s your turn - we’d love to hear your story and where you’re at so we can support you exactly on your journey today. It’s a relaxed space to connect with other creative women and feel truly seen.

11am - Posing Shoot with Nami

Step into the art of capturing women as their most beautiful and confident selves. In this hands-on session, I will guide you through my natural light portrait techniques - from my go-to poses and playful prompts to camera settings, artistic direction, and making anyone feel truly seen and comfortable in front of the camera. 

We'll arrange a model, outfit and concept and you get to shoot side-by-side with me, build your portfolio with stunning images, and receive live feedback as you go - so you leave with both confidence and content.

1pm - Delicious lunch

We’ll pause for a delicious & nourishing lunch. Time for some relaxed conversations and to recharge. This is your moment to soak it all in, connect deeper with the other women, and enjoy the stunning views before we dive into the second half of the day. We are both massive foodies and ensure the food on the day is top notch.

Ps. we always cater for your dietary requirements

2pm - Marketing & Social Media with Soul

Discover how to build a strong, authentic brand around your photography - no matter your niche. We’ll share how we each grew six-figure businesses by staying true to ourselves, plus our golden formula for getting booked, even if you’ve never had a client before. You’ll walk away with a simple, powerful marketing strategy you can put into action on your very next Instagram post - plus the clarity and confidence to grow your photography business starting tomorrow.

3m - Water Photography with Leo (@surfgirlnz)

Pool time with Leonie, where you’ll learn her exact water photography workflow and pre-shoot checklist. She’ll show you how to start water photography on any budget, prevent water drops from ruining your shots, and master the settings she uses to capture magic in motion.

Perfect for surf, lifestyle, and portrait photographers wanting to explore creativity through light and water.

4.30pm - Professional headshots time! 

We’ll capture stunning headshots of you that you can use right away on your website and Instagram. These photos will make you look like the professional you’re becoming and that help you get booked.

No question is too big or too small - this is your time to ask us anything about photography, business, editing, gear, pricing, confidence, or whatever’s on your mind.
