SO, WHATS INCLUDED?

You won’t be stepping into this experience without preparation. Before the retreat begins, you’ll receive a detailed guide to the Joshua Tree area with everything you need to feel confident and ready.

From locations and logistics to timing, terrain, and desert conditions, you’ll have the context and insight needed to focus on creating rather than trying to figure things out in the moment. 


You will be added to a private group with the other photographers attending the retreat. Many people come solo, so this space makes it easy to connect ahead of time, ask questions, coordinate travel, and share plans if you want to carpool or room together.

You’ll walk away with full galleries that feel lived in and authentic. Work that shows what it truly looks like to photograph couples in the desert—not just highlights, but complete stories that future clients can easily imagine themselves stepping into. 


We keep this small on purpose. No crowding. No rushing for a turn. Just room to work, observe, and create with intention.
You will photograph alongside a close group of artists who feel more like collaborators than competitors. The pace is calm, the environment supportive, and the focus is on creating meaningful work while exploring beautiful places together.

An Intimate Content Day Experience

A Thoughtful Guide to palm springs

Attendee Group Chat

This experience is shared with photographers who are navigating similar seasons in their work. You will spend meaningful time alongside people who understand the pace, the questions, and the direction you are moving toward.

The connections formed here often extend well beyond the retreat itself. Not just content and experience, but friendships, collaborations, and a sense of belonging that continues long after you head home.



You will spend two nights at a thoughtfully chosen Airbnb in Palm Springs. A quiet place to land, rest, and reset between shoots, with space to slow down and take in the landscape around you.

Community and Connection

Two Night palm springs Stay

We will start with a relaxed meet and greet. Nothing rushed, nothing formal. Just enough structure to keep the focus on connection, creativity, and the experience itself.



Throughout the retreat, guidance is available when you want it. Whether during shoots or back at the Airbnb, there is space for questions, feedback, and conversation around workflow, creative direction, and navigating destination work.
