My dream, aim, and motivation to every single aspect of this retreat is to feed you creatively, awaken your inspiration, and completely spoil you! You give so much to others: your family and friends, community, and your business. It's time to nurture YOU. (And psst... the best news is that this can't help but benefit your craft and, by extension, your business as well!).
This retreat will provide a creative theme each day, which will be infused in activities, styled shoots, and meals. We will get to express our artistry by shooting side-by-side, improve our craft through education, and enjoy amazing food (and even better company!).

Frequently Asked Questions
just in case you were wondering...
Doesn't this sound fun?!
come join me!
is this open to all photographers?
This retreat is open to my students first (anyone who has purchased one or more of my courses), and then if there are still openings after that, I will open up spots for other photographers!
will there be styled shoots?
Yes! There will be three styled shoots (family, maternity, and editorial). They will be set up to follow the "recipe" I teach in my Get the Glow course. They will range from highly creative, to soft and serene. ALL will be enjoyable!
how do I book and is the deposit refundable?
A non-refundable $500 deposit holds your place in the retreat. Once the spots fill up I have to turn others away (I'm sure you understand this policy from your portrait business!) If you find that you can't come, you may sell your ticket to another.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE?
Once you arrive to the retreat (airfare and arrival to the Airbnb are up to you), the retreat price covers lodging, transportation, 2 meals a day (plus snacks), and admission to all events!
can you tell me more about the meals?
I will provide two meals a day (usually breakfast and dinner, although we may eat at different times). I will always have snacks available at the Airbnb for you to take with us when we head out, too! Please let me know of any dietary needs.
what do I need to do on my end?
Once you book your spot at the retreat, it is up to you to get there, and that's it! The minute you check in to the minute you check out, I've got things covered. Everything is planned to the "T!"
WHERE WILL WE BE STAYING?
We will be staying together in an Airbnb so we can enjoy conversation, food, and each other. We won't be hanging out there the entire time (we have things to do!), but it will be nice to all stay in one place.
Is there an itinerary I can view?
There will be when we get closer! My assistants and I have been planning this next retreat for months and I have an upcoming trip to scout locations for shooting, eating, and staying! I'm pumped.
will we have the time of our lives?
Abso-freaking-lutely! I take hosting very seriously (but we also have so much fun!). I am fixated on making sure you feel taken care of and completely spoiled. Whatever it takes!
WHAT IS THE SLEEPING SITUATION?
Everyone will have their own queen-sized bed, and there are two participants per room. If you have a roommate request, let me know!
