The New Moon Workshop

by Hawaii Photographers Anela Benavides & Kaila Key

Day ONE

Countless hours planning, dedication to educating, teaching, and FLOURISHING! The New Moon Workshop was an absolute SUCCESS! We have worked so hard to see this vision come to LIFE. Months and months of dreaming up of this workshop. From coordinating venues, vendors, planning all the details, education, inspiration, and more! I truly felt like a wedding planner at this point. I don’t regret it one bit because all of the planning paid off BIG TIME in the end!

First of all, this day was A WHOLE ASS MOOD. Empowering, inspiring, and educating is ALWAYS my move! Stoked me & my work bestie Kaila Key saw it thru till the very end for our workshop! Still on a high from this week! Nothing but MAD LOVE for all our students, vendors, and newfound friendships. Just WOW!

We had students from all over who flew in, hawaii photographers on the island, locals, and more. They all gathered together to learn from Kaila Key & I. We taught about  much-needed topics such as: changing our mindset, up leveling, editing, pricing, finding our ideal client, and answering all our students’ questions tailored specifically to them. My favorite part of educating is the fact that everyone is different + unique! From where they are, what their market is, and where they are headed on their journey! Our main goal: to serve everyone the absolute best and meet them exactly where they are and we DID THAT!

Lastly, this is such proud accomplishment and a goal I’ve had on my heart for soooo long! Thank you to each and every person that made this day come to life and a HUGE SUCCESS!!!
