Stay Close Canada

Had the best day!! I learnt so much that I think will help me a lot! And also got to take AMAZING photos!! They made the most beautiful set ups!! Felt so welcomed and met amazing people!

There is so much to get out of a stay close workshop…. Friendships, huge portfolio of nee photos, expert advise and one on one coaching, so much inspiration and an opportunity for creativity. Highly recommend!

Holy where do I start. Every single workshop brooke puts on is just an absolute dream. If I could attend every single one until the end of time I would. 1000/10 recommend looking at a stay close workshop at any point in your photography career!

Stay Close organized such an amazing workshop! I learnt so much and have now a better understanding on what I have to work on as a photographer. Would 100% recommend for anyone who is looking to improve their photography business!

The legends behind Stay Close are all about inspiring creativity, encouraging photographers of all levels, and connecting likeminded people through the love of photography. I’m so happy that I stumbled upon their Instagram, and had the chance to be apart of their first ever photowalk! Really looking forward to continuing collaborating with them and for the future photo adventures!

Wow I don’t even know where to start. The dream day wedding workshop was the first workshop I’ve attended. I was very nervous at first but that lasted maybe 5 minutes ! The hosts Brooke and Madie were amazing and attentive. The set up was beyond amazing ! I’ve learned so much from the workshop and met some great people while attending. I’ve walked away with more knowledge, confidence and a ton of amazing photos to fill my portfolio!

I had the privilege of attending a workshop and OHMYGOODNESS!! It was absolutely amazing.Brooke was so good at communicating all the details and answering any questions I had. She went above the requirements to make sure I could be there.I was a little nervous about going as I had had a previous negative experience with a workshop that left me feeling not enough. Both in experience and the equipment I did or didn't have. From the moment I walked in the door it was 100% different. Brooke's co-host Madie welcomed us and it was so sweet. Madie made everyone feel not only welcomed but loved. It genuinely felt like a big group of friends.Not only was the space absolutely gorgeous it was also an atmosphere of acceptance, creativity, and learning. Any questions we had were answered. They were really good at coming along side us during the shoot and teaching in the moment. Being able to come into a beautiful space is something special but even more special were the connections made!!I left with my heart so full! I got to work with some of the photographers I admire most and it wasn't competitive or intimidating. I can't believe I got to be there. I was definitely tearing up on my drive home, just so grateful!Brooke's and Madie's love for people and willingness to share and teach was such an honor to experience.

I attended the Stay Close Wedding Workshop and it was an amazing ! I was given a lot of valuable information that I cannot wait to implement in my business practices. Kass, Sierra and Brooke were amazing hosts and mentors. It was an honour to learn from them. I cannot wait to attend the next one!Sarah Lamontagne Photo xx

I would 110% recommend any photographer to partake in a Stay Close Workshop! I had the most incredible time, and my heart was so full when I left.Brooke is the kindest + sweetest, and she really knows what she's doing!! The setup, amazing! The people, AMAZING! The atmosphere, the experience, everything was truly amazing!!I was hesitant in attending, as workshops are definitely an investment, and you never know if you'll leave feeling like it made an impact in your photography. Let me just say, it was 100% worth it!! I would very quickly join another Stay Close Workshop after the experience I had, and would encourage anyone to do the same!!Thank you so much Brooke!! You did an incredible job!! And Jess and Madie, who were also there, you guys are the greatest!!

A great organization run by amazing people! I have had the pleasure to attend Stay Close events in Winnipeg and Vancouver. Making new friends when you move to a new city is never easy but through attending Stay Close events I met many like minded photographers that I now hang out with on a regular basis! I would highly recommend attending Stay Close events if you are an expert in photography or a beginner like me!
