Inside This Free 4-Day Workshop,
You'll Leave With:
✔️ A chosen subject and story, plus a scouted location (the end of your street counts!)
✔️ A one-page light plan: direction, time window, and a five-frame shot list
✔️ Your five-image golden-hour series — captured on Day 2, finished on Day 3
✔️ A simple select-and-edit pass that keeps the warmth you saw in person
✔️ The exact light decisions you can repeat on your very next shoot
✔️ LIVE sessions with Maren every day, with replays through June 6
Here's what we'll do together:
JUNE 1ST - 4TH
Live sessions each day at 12:00pm ET, about an hour.
Your own golden-hour shoot happens on Day 2, near sunset.
Replays available through June 6.
DAY 1 · SEE THE LIGHT
MONDAY, JUNE 1
Learn to read golden-hour light, choose your subject and story, and scout your spot. You leave with a one-page shoot plan for tomorrow evening.
DAY 2 · THE GOLDEN EVENING
TUESDAY, JUNE 2
Photograph all five frames inside your planned light window. This is the golden evening — the whole series, captured before dark.
DAY 3 · FINISH THE SERIES
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3
Select your keepers and make a light edit that keeps the warmth you saw in person. Your five-image series is finished today — and you'll hear the invitation to Golden Hour.
DAY 4 · SHOOT FORWARD
THURSDAY, JUNE 4
Bring your finished series and your questions. We troubleshoot, study examples, and build your repeatable plan for the next shoot — so the process keeps going without me.
From one golden evening to light you can find on purpose
The five frames you make this week are your first lap around a loop you'll use for every shoot after it: notice the light, plan the window, shape the scene, capture the sequence, finish the set… then repeat it with a new subject, a new season, a new assignment.
Everything runs on the camera you already own: phone, DSLR, or mirrorless. No studio, no new lens, no manual-mode experience required.
Beginner-friendly!
This free workshop is held alongside the upcoming opening of my course Golden Hour. You'll receive an invitation on Day 3, and the five-frame win is yours either way.

“I didn't buy a single thing. I walked to the end of my street at 7:40 in the evening and came home with five frames I actually love.”
Dana W. · Example Student
Hey there, I'm Maren!
I'm a photographer who spent her first years chasing luck. Some evenings the light poured in and everything glowed. Most evenings I came home with flat, gray frames and no idea what had changed.
The turn came when I stopped waiting for beautiful light and started planning for it — learning where it would fall, when it would soften, and how to place a subject inside it. That small set of decisions became a process I could repeat, and that process became Golden Hour, my course on natural light.
I made this free workshop because the fastest cure for “my photographs never look like that” is one planned evening and five finished frames. I'd love to help you make yours.
See you in the light, Maren
