"I expected beautiful details and a great experience, but when I say, I was blown out of the water, that is an understatement. This was a “mini retreat” so one day mixing education and styled elements, and yet the amount of content, education and community I experienced made it feel like I had spent DAYS with these women. The intentionality of the timeline, education and details throughout the day truly bypassed all my expectations."
Tess Walters
"The education session helped me grow not just as photographer but as a creative business owner.
We had real conversations, shared, stories, and actually got to know each other before picking up our cameras.
That intentional time made all the difference as it created a sense of community and mutual respect that carried over into the shooting portion.
I left feeling so inspired and more confident in the way I show up behind the lens and in my business.
If you're a creative craving growth, community and intentionality I would 10000% recommend their retreats!!"

"Attending the Curated Frame Retreat was one of the most refreshing and inspiring experiences for my photography journey. From the moment I arrived, I knew this was going to be more than just a styled shoot; it was a space to grow, connect, and create. It Is hard connecting with other creatives sometimes, but this retreat felt homey!
One of my favorite parts was the hands-on, collaborative environment.
Working alongside a group of talented photographers was incredibly energizing. We shared ideas, encouraged each other, and left feeling like a small creative family
If you're a photographer looking to elevate your work and step into an inspiring environment, I can't recommend the Curated Frame Retreat enough."
