Maybe you have beautiful, big, wonderful goals for your business (and your life!!!) but something is standing like a brick wall in your way and you can’t seem to move past it no matter what you try.
Maybe you’re doing “all the things” but not only does it feel like that’s getting you nowhere, that non stop hustle is pushing you closer and closer to burnout.
Or maybe, it seems like every time you scroll through Instagram you find yourself comparing your work to every other photographer, seeing their posts about being booked out, raising their prices, shooting with their DREAM clients, posting the most JAW-dropping photos, hitting 6 figures, or spending more time with their family because they’re “shooting less & making more.”
…And all you can think is:
But I don’t know how.
• The burnout? Bye. Baby, you got SYSTEMS and they’re as seamless as a good thong.
• You’re known as one of the top, best, go-to photographers for your area or style.
• Those lonely nights feeling like no one gets it? Gone. Your girls got you. ;)
• You have a tight-knit circle of the most incredible like-minded photographer besties that are all walking through life and biz as a team.
• You finally hit that revenue goal that’s always been just out of reach.
• Every gallery you send is one you’re so proud of you could cry.
• Not only do your clients leave you novel-length reviews raving about you, they sing your praises to every human they meet.
• You know EXACTLY how to reach your ideal clients so they’re SCRAMBLING to book with YOU.
• That nagging little voice that says “you’re not good enough…”?? He’s gone for good.
• You have inquiries FLOODING your inbox every single week.
Why did you decide to put on The Conference?
After years of hosting intimate in person events, we’ve always dreamed of creating something bigger to help empower business owners in all they do while creating a space for community and a rockin’ good time. In the last 6+ years of entrepreneurship, we’ve learned that community is everything, because meeting your business besties who GET what you’re going through is life changing. Which is why we wanted to extend it to YOU! Consider this the PERFECT mix between business education, incredible mindset strategy, and a space to create lifelong friendships for you and your business.
Are the tickets refundable?
Tickets to The Heart Conference are non-refundable. If you purchase a ticket and are no longer able to attend, it is your responsibility to find someone else to purchase the ticket from you. We recommend doing so in The Heart Conference FB group or on your own. If you sell your ticket please email us the new attendee's info at hello@theheartuniversity.com.

What Covid-19 precautions will there be?
Our plan is to abide by the guidelines of the venue and the city of Nashville. At this time, masks are optional in Nashville, but we will evaluate COVID protocol closer to the event. We've postponed the conference twice due to the pandemic because we didn't feel that we could safely host an in-person event until now. You are welcome to wear a mask if that personally makes you feel more comfortable attending.
Is there a way I can find other attendees to room with?!
Absolutely! Come join our conference Facebook Page, and you can link up with LOTS of other party peeps!!!
Is this conference just for entrepreneurs?
The speakers' talks and content taught will be catered to small business owners of all stages of business. However, if you don’t have a business yet but are wanting to in the future, you’re absolutely still welcome and will get a TON out of the conference!
Can we purchase tickets for a friend or family member?
There is a limit of one ticket per transaction purely because we need each ticket to be associated with a specific name and email address for attendee email communication before the conference as well as admission into the conference. If you want to purchase a ticket for a friend you will need to purchase it separately from your own, putting in their name and email address when you do so.
"Lindsey and Evie changed my life. I have invested close to $10,000 in Evie and Lindsey over the years, and they have been worth every penny of my hard earned money and more. My first time meeting Evie was at a time in my business when I was a photographer who dreamt of photographing weddings full time. Following that mentor session, two heart workshops, the heart university photo major, coaching with Lindsey, and a handful of years later, I have gone on to: quit my day job, photograph over 100 weddings, build and grow an associate team, add video to my services, photograph weddings around the world, move to my dream city, create my dream life. And have gone on to host my own podcast, create courses of my own, and teach entrepreneurs. I have paid thousands and thousands of dollars to top entrepreneurs and educators, and absolutely none of them have given me the knowledge and value that Lindsey and Evie have over the years. It’s really scary to invest in education, and I was especially less trusting, after investing and not seeing my money’s worth. Evie and Lindsey flipped that narrative for me. And how can we expect our clients to invest in us if we can’t invest in ourselves? Invest in Evie and Lindsey. You won’t miss one penny of what you pour into them. You will make the money back in no time. And they will pour back into you in tenfold."

Let’s be real here… there are a MILLION photography workshops or content retreats to choose from. How do you know which is the right one for YOU?! We’re here to shoot it to you straight (like we always do!) and share why we believe ours is different from all the others out there. When we first started this workshop back in 2018, we saw so many workshops that focused heavily on the business side of things. We also saw a handful of “content days” that focused on helping photographers build their portfolios. Both are fantastic. But what we saw missing in the industry was a beautiful marriage of the tactical, hands-on business training PLUS the jaw-dropping styled shoot opportunities. Not to mention a sleepover style retreat where you are welcomed into a community of likeminded gals ready to encourage, uplift, and welcome you with arms WIDE open. We’ve spent years working on perfecting just that. But deeper than even that tangible factor, we believe your photography business is so much more than just a job. It’s a way to change your life, build a legacy for your family, & deeply impact the lives of your clients. Because of that, building your business CANNOT be just a stiff, robotic formula that’s “1+1=2”... But in this industry it’s so easy to get caught up in the technical aspects of the art, fall into the comparison game, base your worth off your numbers, and forget WHY you're doing what you're doing. THAT is why our goal for the heart workshop is to create an environment where women can dig down into the HEART of who we are, and learn how we can pour our hearts & souls into our photography businesses to make us come alive & thrive. You ready to experience that "can't-eat can't-sleep reach-for-the-stars over-the-fence world series kinda stuff?" The Heart Workshop is where it happens.
Lindsey roman & evie mcleod
Hey there! We’re Lindsey & Evie, the founders of The Heart University. We’re two 6-figure destination luxury wedding photographers, 7-figure serial entrepreneurs, business educators, and podcasters. Our hearts beat to see people stepping into their God-given callings, living their lives to the fullest, and leaving a legacy they only dreamed of.
We created the Heart Workshop to encourage, inspire, and empower YOU. Our passion is to see you absolutely THRIVING in your photography business, feeling inspired, knowing your worth, embracing your “special sauce” that makes you absolutely one of a kind, and finding deep and rich fulfillment in living your life exactly the way you were meant to.
We hate “ooohh we’re so incredible” brag posts, but we know if you’re considering investing your hard-earned cash with us as your workshop hosts, you deserve to know our credentials, so here we go:
We both started our photography journeys in roughly 2015. Lindsey was in Kansas, Evie in Ohio. Within a period of about 2 years, our businesses EXPLODED from a tiny little side hobby with starter cameras to two 6-figure global destination photography businesses. We’ve shot everywhere in the world from Italy, Germany, New Zealand, Switzerland, France, Mexico, Panama, Hawaii, allllll over the US, (like ALL over) served hundreds of raving clients, and trained over 4,500 entrepreneurs and photographers in how to build and scale their own successful businesses as well.
We’re PASSIONATE about seeing YOU succeed. That’s what this workshop is all about.
So… Can we hope to see you there??
"In 2019 I said yes to myself and my business when I invested in a ticket to The Heart Workshop. Little did I know I would be saying yes to a handful of other aspects of my life when I walked through the doors to meet the other attendees and Lindsey and Evie. With my specialty being Family Photography, I wasn't certain that I would 'fit' knowing my niche was likely different from the rest, but it didn't take long for that assumption and fear to be smashed. Not only was I able to learn (family photography is entirely applicable when they are speaking specifically about couples photography), I was able to gain so much clarity for the business side of things. We really dove deep into the nitty gritty of workflow, pricing, social platforms, client experience, and the list goes on and on...I still find myself referring to the notes I took.
There is something magical about being in a room full of other like-minded creatives who are looking to grow not only as an entrepreneur, but a human trying to make a difference in the world and serve your clients/people well. We broke through so many barriers together and supported each other as we voiced our trials and triumphs. I cried, I laughed, I danced, I made friendships that still hold true to this day and more than anything I left that workshop with my head held higher than ever and my heart overflowing with so much excitement for the future of my business. Without a doubt those days together with Evie and Lindsey set my business on fire and I give so much credit to The Heart for where I am today. Freakin' thriving, baby! I say that with a humble heart, but also confidence in knowing my worth in this industry. Thank you Evie and Lindsey for providing one of the best investments and experiences I've ever had as a photographer. Anyone who says yes to your education is in for it in the BEST of ways!"

Because it just wouldn’t be the same without you.
"When I signed on to The Heart Workshop I was so excited because I was getting to learn from 2 photographers I really admire in not only how they conduct their business but also how they conduct themselves! I wanted to gain more work in my portfolio of things I wanted to shoot. The Heart Workshop exceeded my expectations more than I can even express. Lindsey and Evie poured their ENTIRE HEART and all of their knowledge into this workshop and it showed! I appreciate that Lindsey and Evie brought this workshop to us like we were friends and taught from their failures as well as from their wins. What really stood out to me through the workshop that I wasn’t expecting was the true community that came out of the workshop. A full week surrounded by passionate, creative, BOSS BABES!? IT WAS THE BEST!!! But the best part is when we got home we’re still communicating and cheering each other on. In the first 2 weeks home from the workshop I booked 12 weddings in just those 2 weeks and saw a flood of more inquiries that usually took me weeks to see! My client communication and experience has been unleveled x10 and I’m no longer going through the motions of what I think a wedding photographer has to sound like but I’m showing up as ME. And that has been my biggest blessing and takeaway the Heart workshop helped me discover. Thank you Evie + Lindsey for the best experience and helping me truly find my heart behind my own business!"
- Reagan
"I decided to attend The Heart Workshop because 1. I love Lindsey & Evie and 2. I needed help with unposed posing. Yes. I literally did this to learn one thing. Little did I know I would be getting way more than I could have imagined. I learned exactly what I came for but also walked away with quite a few other things. I realized how much I was holding myself back by not knowing myself and not taking care of myself. The way they teach is life changing. They care not only about giving you the tools to grow your business but also to grow as a person. DANG it was JUST what I needed. The amount of information given is BANANAS. I can't stop and won’t stop putting it all into action!
I walked away with my head in the clouds and a million strategies to get me to where I now know I am headed! I have already changed my client communication game big time, and I'm working on uplevelling my insta game to start bringing in clients that way. I have already had a couple inquiries on IG and my following and engagement has increased a bunch as well.
I truly can't imagine where I'll be in a year as I implement all that I learned and I crush my goals. THANK YOU so much for everything ladies. The Heart Workshop was life changing!"

A: Both. ;) There’s a LOT of beautiful energy at our workshops. Lifelong friendships are formed, fears and mindset walls are knocked down (once and for all), courage and calling are found, and FUN is had. But on top of all of that, we give you STEP BY STEP strategies, principles, and tools and help you IMPLEMENT them to see TANGIBLE results in your business. You get 12 HOURS of business training, not to mention the customized business action plan and the group coaching call we do after the workshop to help you actually put those strategies into action in YOUR business. Don’t just take our word for it though. Go read the reviews spread all over this page. Or reach out to our past workshop attendees below to ask them what their experience has been. We’ve seen dozens upon dozens of photographers' businesses transformed as a result of coming to The Heart Workshop. But we’re also going to be real with you, friend… It’s ultimately up to you. We can give you the most transformative business training in the world, do our dang best to walk with you to implement it, but at the end of the day, it’s up to you to do the work and stick it out. If you’re willing to put in the work with us by your side, we promise you: your business will be transformed.
We’ve had attendees who have been in business for 10+ years come to our workshop and get their life and business absolutely transformed from it. This is most definitely not a beginner only workshop. If you’re feeling any level of frustration or roadblock in your business right now - whether it’s taking it to the next level, restructuring your systems, reaching new clients, scaling your revenue, or just feeling burnt out and discouraged… this workshop is for you. If you’re still on the fence, reach out to one of our past workshop attendees to get their personal experience. Or you can contact us here to chat with our team and maybe even hop on a 15 minute call with Evie or Lindsey to see if this workshop is the best fit for you.
Let’s put this into perspective. $4500 is the price of roughly ONE (mayybee 2) wedding bookings. Let’s say you come to this workshop, utilize the 4 portfolio galleries you walk away with, implement even a few of the business strategies you learn, and book 2 weddings as a result. You’ve instantly made back your investment. But we promise… if you implement what you learn, your business will EXPLODE. Don’t just listen to us though, read all the reviews all over this page or even reach out to a past workshop attendee to ask about their personal experience. Our girl Carmen, one of our Palm Springs Workshop attendees told us: “Ummm... You guys... I've booked 5 weddings for 2024 since coming home from the workshop [2 months ago]. Thank you just doesn't seem to be enough at this point. But truly, thank you.”
NO! There is NOTHING worse than a styled shoot like this. To avoid that, we’ve spent quite a bit of time crafting a completely unique styled shoot system that allows you to shoot in smaller groups. PLUS have one-on-one time with the models to pose and direct them yourself and get the BEST shots and angles. We’ve had such amazing feedback on this system from our past workshop attendees. Not to brag, but they’ve said it’s the best system they’ve ever seen. ;)
We TOTALLY get the nerves around traveling alone! That’s why we’ve created a few different resources to help make this as stress-free as possible for you. Once you’ve purchased your ticket, you can join our Heart Workshop FB group and connect with fellow attendees to travel together, meet up in the airport, share a rental car, carpool with a local girl, etc! If you want even more personalized help, reach out to us via email and we’ll help connect you with girls who will be traveling from your area as well! You’ll get a guide with your Workshop Welcome Guide that gives you our best tips and tricks to traveling alone and traveling cheap! (And trust us, we’ve traveled YEARS of our lives, we have a few tricks up our sleeves ;) )
