Audrey Woulard
Chicago-based photographer and educator Audrey Woulard has spent more than two decades building a career around distinctive, light-driven portraiture. Best known for her work with teens and families, Audrey has gained international recognition for a style that combines strong composition, intentional use of location, and a seamless blend of natural light and off-camera flash. She is a Nikon USA Ambassador and has been commissioned for commercial work for brands including Pottery Barn and IAMS.
Audrey's work has appeared in People Magazine, InStyle, Better Homes and Gardens, Professional Photographer Magazine, and Senior Style Guide. She is also a longtime photography educator and speaker, presenting at major industry events including Imaging and WPPI, where her classes have regularly drawn capacity crowds. In 2021, she received the Vanguard Award from Professional Photographers of America in recognition of her impact on the photography industry.
Through her Light Exposed Workshops, Audrey teaches photographers throughout the United States and internationally how to better understand light, location, composition, and the decisions that shape an image before the shutter is pressed. Her approach is rooted in the belief that strong photography doesn't require a perfect location or complicated setup, but rather an understanding of light, the tools available, and how to use them intentionally to create work that feels distinct.

…Photographers are often told Facebook is dead, while at the same time being told they need to purchase Facebook ads to reach people on the platform. Meanwhile, many photographers feel increasing pressure to constantly create Reels and video content just to remain visible elsewhere. The reality is that Facebook has changed, and that change has created an organic opportunity for photographers whose strongest content is still their photography. Audrey Woulard will share the strategies behind her own Facebook presence, where her content routinely reaches 1 to 3 million people organically without purchasing ads or boosting posts. She'll break down how people use Facebook today, how the algorithm can work in your favor, and how strong photography paired with intentional copy can reach audiences far beyond your existing followers. Attendees will walk away understanding how potential clients actually use Facebook today, and how to increase organic reach without spending a dime on ads or boosted posts. Audrey will teach you how to write post copy that helps rather than hurts your distribution, and how to lean on photography as your primary content instead of feeling pressured into constant video creation. You'll also learn how to read your Facebook insights and determine which numbers actually matter, so you can stop chasing metrics that don't move the needle.
