Get Tha Funk Out! What tha funk is this, you ask yourself.. Well…the story goes a little like this….
Once upon a time, (a couple of year’s ago)….the three of us funkalicious gals were feeling a wee bit “funky” …you know….”tha funk”…just not ourselves, out of balance, needing inspiration so we decided on a “Get Tha Funk Out” girls getaway to rejuvenate, reinvent, share, learn, inspire and brainstorm our ways out of this “funk”.
WA-LA….all of the brainstorming and sharing led to this GET THA FUNK OUT WORKSHOP.
We are three women, three mothers, three wives, and three professional photographers who have built three successful businesses. We have come a long way and have big plans for very big things in our futures in this wonderful industry. We believe in sharing….we believe in paying it forward…..we believe in ourselves and in each other. We know that sometimes…tha “funk” creeps in and you have to kick it to the curb asap!
This is a learning workshop for women photographers….a retreat…..a “get away” to take it all in….casual, fun, funky and fresh …Our GTFO 2010 will be on on “THE FARM” with great food, new friends and exciting ideas. Our goal is to have you walk away with a full heart, a head that hurts because it’s exploding with ideas, new friends and tools to keep that “funk” as far away as possible. Oh yeah…..a nice full tummy too! We look forward to spending a super FUNKY day with you!

Here is what the girls have to say about Gina:
Jo says…Oh that laugh! Gina has THE most contagious laugh! Gina just has “It”! Her style is so fun, so quirky and so fresh! Gina brings a deep understanding of marketing, networking and style to the table. I couldn’t imagine this workshop without her!
Julie says…Gina is probably one of the most positive and encouraging women around and I am lucky enough to call her my friend!

by joanne
Gina….If you need a funny story, Jo is your go to girl. I can always count on Jo to make me smile with her crazy adventures…she amazes me with her work each and every day. Her passion for life and her passion for her art is unstoppable. Jo has an amazing eye for detail and it reflects in her art and her design workflow.
Julie…As soon as Joanne walks into a room, her upbeat personality is immediately contagious and it’s no wonder that everyone loves this girl! She is amazing in front of the camera, engaging her clients in a way that makes them feel comfortable and relaxed. Joanne has a heart of gold, and her creative abilities are unbelievable. Just take a look at her images….SHE ROCKS!!!!
Patirce…I must say that to start my day of right, I start with my “Cup of Jo” . Jo has an amazing eye for detail and organization and if that was not enough, she is a creative genius on so many levels. Without ever discounting her prices or compromising her business, Jo shot nearly 100 sessions in her first year of business – how many people can say that? After many successful careers, Jo has found her true calling and is ready to share some of her spunk and wisdom with the rest of the world.

Meet The Funky Bunch – Patrice Nelson
by Patrice
Julie….When I think of Patrice, I immediately think of the strength and wisdom that this woman possesses. Once you have the opportunity to meet and know her, you will know exactly what I mean. Her images are undeniably amazing, and the guidance that she whole-heartedly gives to her friends and clients is priceless.
Gina…what can I say, a true inspiration… she has this savy no nonsence approach in her business and in her life. When she talks business, she knows what she is taking about. If want to learn value and worth of the business.. she is your gal..she continues to inspire and push me to my true capability with her confidence and her own beautiful images that will just take your breath away.
Jo….When Patrice talks…you listen! Patrice is one of the wisest photographers I have ever met. The girl is exploding with ideas, her creativity humbles me on a daily basis! Patrice has a passion for life that shows in her images and her business. My business would be nowhere near what it is today without Patrice in my life!
