PRISM is a 4-week creative unblocking process for portrait and wedding photographers who have lost the excitement that brought them to this work in the first place.
Through daily practices, weekly photo projects and structured creative habit, you identify the specific blocks that have been keeping you jaded, stuck, and creatively flat.
You establish new creative habits and come out the other side reconnected to your artistic identity and excited about your work again.
Same shit, different client. You know the feeling.
You're an established portrait or wedding photographer. You've built the business, you know what shots work, you know what books and now you're just doing that thing, over and over, on repeat. You feel jaded. Stagnant. Stuck inside a version of your work that stopped exciting you a long time ago.
You're not taking the risks you want to take. You're not making the images you actually want to make. You've stopped surprising yourself and you're ready to lean HARD into the art of your individuality.
The method is simple. Four weeks dedicated purely to clearing what's in the way, prioritizing Kairos (creator time) and rebuilding creativity as a daily habit.
Daily practice — An advent calendar style reveal. Each day unlocks a new exercise designed to excavate the specific beliefs, fears, and blocks that have been keeping you creatively stuck.
Weekly photo project — One per week to help stir the juices and let you taste *new*.
Kairos Time — 30 minutes blocked in your day, every day, for the duration of the class. Creator's creative time.
4 live sessions — One per week. Guided, communal.
Making space for the muse — practices to quiet the noise and create the conditions for creativity to actually come through.
Weekly playdate — A solo creative outing with no deliverable attached. Just you following curiosity somewhere.
Creative manifesto — Built throughout the four weeks. A living document that comes out the other side with you.
I'm already overwhelmed with my business. How much time does this actually take?
I've tried courses before and never finished them. How is this different?
I'm not blocked creatively, I'm just busy. Is this still for me?
Will this actually help my photography business or is it just journaling?
ABOUT YOUR TEACHER (AND THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT)
I'm Laurken (lar-kin), internationally published wedding photographer, industry teacher for 9 years, homeschool (unschooling) mother, farmer, writer and so many other things.
My methodology is simple, loving AND unforgiving:
I believe the fastest way to internal and external success is the path of Individuality. Those of us who serve through creativity have a responsibility to lead with our own interests, instincts and desires first.
There is no path to deep, long-term satisfaction in the work or in business by following the masses, trend hopping or maintaining the status quo.
Everything you want is buried inside the exact work you've been most avoiding because it’s inconvenient, hard, boring or asks you to stand firmly in your own ideas and step away from the crowd.
Business forces us to confront ourselves like few other things and that's why I believe its one of the highest spiritual undertakings.
Here's to pursuing the path of most resistance- the Art of Individuality.
