Hi! We're Nami & Leo

A few years ago, we were stuck in 9-5 jobs we didn’t love — so we picked up a camera and started building the creative businesses we dreamed of: Nami Creative and SurfgirlNZ.

Today, we’re both running 6-figure photography businesses and leading in women’s empowerment and surf photography.

We KNOW what it takes:

✔️ How to take incredible photos

✔️ How to build a standout brand

✔️ How to turn passion into profit

✔️ How to move through imposter syndrome

And now? We’re showing you exactly how we did it — no fluff, no gatekeeping, just real tools and full transparency.

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 - Intimate Portraits with Nami

Step into the art of capturing women as their most beautiful and confident selves. In this hands-on session, Nami will guide you through her natural light portrait techniques - from her 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 and you get to shoot side-by-side with Nami, 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.

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 right away- plus the clarity and confidence to grow your photography business starting now.

3pm - Water Photography with Leo

Pool time with Leo! Leo covers her exact water photography workflow and takes you through her checklist of the 10 things she always does before taking her camera out in the water. She will teach you how you can start water photography on any budget, how to prevent water drops from ruining your photos and the exact camera settings she uses to take photos in the water.

4pm - 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.

4:30pm - Editing masterclass

Our exact editing workflow showing you how we edit over 100 photos in one hour so you can save time doing the boring stuff and focus on the fun parts of editing. You also get the exact presets we use to edit our photos (valued at $597).

5:30pm - Q&A & more connection time

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. We’ll share honest answers, real experiences, and practical advice to help you move forward with clarity. You’ll leave feeling supported, inspired and ready to take your next step.

6:30pm - Goodbyes & Private Sauna Session

As the day winds down, we’ll wrap things up with that beautiful golden Raglan light. You’ll walk away with fresh content for your portfolio + socials, real friendships with women walking the same path and assets that will help you get clients ASAP.
