Through my successes and failures, I can confidently say that nurturing my relentless mindset has been the key to unlocking new opportunities.

Regardless of what everyone around you is doing or saying, no one has power over your mindset. No one can steal your ‘why’ or your inner drive to succeed.

If you don’t fight for you, who will?

My goal is to empower you to return to yourself, whatever that means, and at whatever phase you’re in. 

Imagine feeling inspired to do anything and everything that lights you up, no matter how weird or out of the box, simply because you love it.

With an ambitious vision to make a positive impact on the photography industry together, Cara and Jai set out to create a course that would not only teach the framework of photography but guide photographers on a journey to discover their best work and unearth parts of themselves hidden within.

“I’ve implemented so many strategies that have changed my business (and my life). It’s extremely refreshing to find someone so willing to not only share their successes but also open up about their failures and how those challenges were lessons learned and opened doors for future success.”

Ivy Christina

“I can’t begin to describe how eternally grateful I am of you and how you created such a safe space for all of us to grow far beyond than what we could have imagined.”

Ed Brown

“Jai really is walking the walk, his generosity, energy and empathy is on a level that is unlike anything else thats available anywhere else in the world. Then add his insane business knowledge, support and forward thinking will always keep you on your toes!”

Katherine Eye

“This workshop was life-changing and completely opened my eyes to the beauty of turning photographs into a piece of artwork. There are no limits to creating and I am beyond excited to come back to my business this week refreshed and inspired.”

Aida Glowik

“Jai is an incredible educator and business coach. The wedding photography industry is getting better and better as a result of all the work that he does.”

Katie Dewald

“I think I needed to be reunited with the things that I love doing, the creative side of my work and this past week at Earth the Workshop with Cara Mia did exactly that. I cannot wait to create again for me, for my clients, for my work. This is a new beginning.”

The Metamorphosis course focuses on unleashing your creativity and mindset, with a core focus on finding your voice and curating intentional art. While all photographers will benefit from the course in some way, we believe that portrait, elopement, and wedding photographers will benefit the most from it.

While we have immense respect for all the education currently available in the industry, we noticed a gap—a course that balances all stages of the creative lifecycle, from establishing your identity to hustling and resting to playing. 

Metamorphosis covers everything from brushing up your technical skills to harnessing your creativity, organizing styled shoots, nurturing your mindset, and much more! It’s the course we both wish we had when we started our careers, a mentor or “older sister” to show us the ropes (and what really goes on behind the scenes).
