Level up your skills and confidence in photography with our new education programs. We're here to serve you and to help clear the path to your own photography business!
Less than 5 years ago, we were teachers. Ryan was driving a school bus, coaching, and at the field all the time to make enough money to get by. Today we own a thriving wedding photography business and moved to a dream town! Now, we want to teach YOU how to do the same.

Since I started my business in 2019, I have spent a LOT on education, and I genuinely can say there has not been a single better investment in myself or my business than coaching with Refuge. Anna + Ryan were completely transparent during coaching calls, the follow up was like nothing I've ever experienced, and I truly feel like they helped me bring my business to the next level in just three coaching calls. I feel more confident in my editing process, my client experience, my pricing - and I truly feel like even though our coaching calls are over (for now - I'll be back), I still have two amazing cheerleaders in my corner. Whether you just got started or you're a little farther along in your business looking to level up, I truly believe there is no better investment than Refuge Education!
Anna and Ryan... it almost seems overwhelming writing a review for you because there just aren't enough words for everything I want to say about my coaching experience with y'all!!!

If you are a photographer looking to bring your business to the next level, I can't recommend Anna & Ryan enough! They are the BEST COACHES! Last wedding season, I found myself extremely overwhelmed and unorganized. This season, I will feel the complete opposite, because Anna and Ryan have helped me to put so many things in place on the business side. They truly let me go over EVERYTHING with my business with them. They helped me with pricing, editing faster, contracts, and putting systems in place to help my overall business not take up as much time, allowing me to get "free time" back... They are an amazing support team and truly want to help and see you and your business grow!

I have already seen a huge change in my business after two rounds of coaching. I have faster response times to inquires, faster turn around times getting pictures to clients, and overall a greater feeling of confidence. In order for business coaching to work, you need to have full trust and transparency with your coaches. Anna and Ryan make it very easy to do this! They are an amazing support team and truly want to help and see you and your business grow!

Wow! What isn't there to say about these two! Refuge Photography were my business coaches for a quarter of a year and I can't thank them enough for everything they helped me with in my business! These two truly want to see you and your business succeed! They honestly don't hold anything back and are willing to share anything and everything they can from their experiences. Plus, they are the best people and I feel like such close friends now! I highly recommend them as business coaches! You definitely won't be disappointed making the investment to bring them on to help you! Can't thank you two enough :)

Anna and Ryan, if you only knew the impact you made in our business. We remember signing up for your coaching program right before quitting our corporate jobs and we just knew it was the best decision we made. In only 10 months we went from just the two of us to a team of 6 and honestly you both were the reason why we are here today. Not only did you give us all the knowledge we needed but also the courage to start implementing an associate program, hiring an assistant, and on top of it all, adding a videographer. That’s what makes you guys such amazing coaches, because you truly care about the people you are helping. We cannot thank you enough and we’ll be forever grateful for you two!!
