Photography Summer Camp- The 2025 Retreat!
Ready for a photography experience that feeds your creativity and your soul?
Join us this June for an unforgettable three-day retreat packed with hands-on learning, artistic inspiration, and community connection—all for just $150!
This retreat has only been available to members of my Certification Program... until now.
And with limited seats at this special price, they’ll go fast. So don’t wait!
When: June 24th, 25th and 26th.
Where: The retreat will be held at the magical Edgefield in Troutdale, Oregon.
Just 20 minutes from Portland International Airport (PDX) and 3 hours from Seattle (SeaTac), Edgefield is a historic property turned creative haven—filled with art, charm, and cozy vibes.
While you’re there, make time to:
Wander the gardens
Discover the local art tucked in every hallway
Take a quick drive to Multnomah Falls—a breathtaking must-see
And yes… pack your swimsuit! The soaking pool is legendary, and it's where I’ll be spending all my downtime!
Please note: The Edgefield is an historic property and most of the rooms have a shared bathroom. If you’d like to stay off property, there is a Best Western that is a short, five-minute drive away!
What’s included: Three days of hands-on photography classes
Creative exercises and real-time feedback
Access to an incredible community of photographers
Lunch on June 24th and 25th
Light breakfast on June 26th
This retreat is your chance to step away from the everyday and reconnect with your art, your purpose, and your people.
I can’t wait to welcome you in and soak up three amazing days together.
See you at the pool.
