We 100% understand that the 10 attending photographers will likely be on all kinds of different levels, so instead of offering "classes" where you sit, listen, and low key wonder what's for dinner, we'll be doing more casual business chats around the pool and one-on-one mentoring if desired.
We LOVE educating but we don't want anyone to feel forced to sit and listen to us ramble about business or photography topics. So we'll be available any time to chat about whatever topic you want and answer any questions you might have!

their words, not ours
"Your styled shoot is what brought me all my clients this year. I've never solo shot a wedding before and now I have 10 weddings booked! You literally taught me everything I needed to know to start off and succeed. Seriously sooo thankful!"
"I've been to so many retreats and you guys truly have something so unique. I told myself i wasn’t going to anymore retreats unless you guys were hosting it because they’ve all felt like a waste of money compared to what you provided.!"
"I can't stop thinking about how amazing this retreat was! I felt like we learned sooooo much. You were so much fun to get to know and hang with! Thanks again for everything and for providing such incredible and uniqe content!!! I can't wait to finish editing the photos from our shoots!"
"with you two gals I can always count on a good time and out of this world content!!!!"
"something I've had to learn the last five years of being a wedding photographer is that not everyone should be hosting retreats and not all workshops are created equal. I've been to way to many where the hosts put their needs and wants over the guest experience. They use unethical language to scare you into hustling or they gatekeep information. NOT THIS RETREAT. Sierra and Cailynn cultivate an environment that feels welcoming and put the experience of the attendees first. They truly are intentional givers and curate an experience for everyone."
