Spark ! Studio Workshops
START FRESH. MAKE SPACE. CREATE A BETTER YOU! A unique experience that’s part photography class, part mental break, part daycation, part ladies day out and 100% the break you’ve been searching for.
At this SPARK ! Studio LIVE workshop you’ll cultivate a practice of showing up for yourself. It’s a place where you’ll recharge while exploring your needs, your dreams, your passions, and your goals.
It’s the end of another day and you feel a bit like your cell phone battery — drained to 2% and about to lose a charge. Life isn’t bad. Honestly, it’s just boring – a bit like groundhog day – the same busy routine day in and day out.
Admittedly you may also be a few late night scrolls away from burnout, if you haven’t reached that place already. You may not be sure exactly what you want or need right now.
You need a Spark. And this workshop will deliver just that.
DURING SPARK ! STUDIO YOU WILL
- Use a camera (any camera) to explore what it looks like to see your life from a new perspective AND take better photos. No photography experience required
- Try 3 unique strategies for getting out of a rut and using creativity to feel more energized and motivated
- Develop a personal plan for feeling more confident, courageous, and connected to your needs and desires.
- Create a vision board that is unlike anything you may have seen before so you can carry what you learn back into your daily life.
YOUR INSTRUCTOR
BERYL YOUNG (SHE/HER)
I began my career in the early 2000s in public education, but after a tragic loss realized that my true passion was in helping others live a life of creativity. My initial “Spark” happened when I picked up a camera to find beauty after the stillbirth of my first daughter and fell in love with photography. I used my camera and my passion after becoming mom to a rainbow baby to start and grow the Momtography and Teentography methodologies into a successful lifestyle business.
After 10 years of working with thousands of families, I’ve since brought my entrepreneurial strengths in creative direction, content creation, and marketing to the accounting industry (yes, accounting!), supporting a company that provides free and low-cost continuing education to accounting professionals.
I believe we are all creative, but somewhere along the way get lost in our heads, stuck in the day-to-day, and deny ourselves the space to wander. My mission is to help women find the courage to choose the creative path and discover it’s never too late to change course, find happiness, heal their hearts, try more, do less, go bold, get quiet, and be unabashedly themselves.
When I’m not at work helping bring education to life for accountants or teaching Recapture Self Workshops you’ll find me at home with my partner Brendan and our spunky pre-teen. Here at our Virginia “country escape” we’re outnumbered by animals: 2 wacky dogs and 2 crazy cats. In addition to my camera I find creative energy through writing, traveling, and spin cycling allllll the miles on my Peloton bike to nowhere (come find me on the leaderboard as #CreatingCourage)!
TESTIMONIALS
As a college student, the SPARK! Workshop was amazing! It made me think freely and to open up and connect with others. Creating our projects was so much fun that it inspired me to build up my art portfolio and I’m leaving with new ideas for it. In the thick of things, I felt disoriented and unsure of my goals. I’m now more willing to take action. If you are feeling down, overwhelmed with deadlines, or unsure what to do to make your goals a reality then I highly recommend this experience. After the workshop is over, you will feel confident in yourself and ready to start fresh.

Beryl’s workshops are so good for the soul. When the day-to-day is feeling like a little much, it is reassuring to know that date coming up on the calendar is for just me. Having the time carved out to pause, reflect, connect with other women, and spend time doing something creative for me is second to none. I have left each time feeling encouraged, inspired, relaxed, and ready to take on my world.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does the SPARK registration fee include?
SPARK is a carefully curated calming and inspiring space for you to get the “soul-care” you’re craving. Included in your registration are all the tools that go into creating this space: activities and supplies needed, nourishing food and snacks, and a few other goodies and special surprises.
Do I need to bring my own camera and what kind of camera do I need?
Any camera is just fine, even the one on your phone! Photography will be part of the day, and you will learn a few fun tricks to create unique and compelling images, but it won’t be the entire focus of our day together.
I don’t live nearby but I want to come! Can I?
You do NOT need to be local to added the event. Why not make it a day trip? Or a soul care weekend! Although overnight lodging is not included in your registration fee, if you need help finding a hotel or Airbnb nearby reach out and ask! I have a few options that might be perfect for you.

Ack, this date won’t work but I’d love to come to a future workshop. When is the next one?
With limited time during this stage of my life I only plan to offer pop-up workshops a few times a year. Keep scrolling and sign up for the waitlist if you’d like to be notified of future dates.
Beryl is so good at creating a warm, safe space where I can get back in tune with who I am. Having that time to focus on me, my hopes & desires while connecting with others does wonders for my soul. Each experience has left me feeling refreshed and energized for what’s to come.

What a great experience with amazing women where there was ZERO judgment. It took a lot for me to give myself permission to go to this workshop and be 100% present, but once I did the possibilities and laughs were endless. Because I was able to be present, I let down my walls, was honest with myself, and took time out from “real” life to reflect and make me a better me. I came away knowing how to set realistic goals for my personal and professional life and was given tools on blocking out the noise and keeping focused on the bigger picture. If you have the opportunity to attend, I highly recommend .
