Our Why…
We created this retreat because we believe content is strongest when it's created slowly, intentionally, and in connection with real life.
Instead of packing every hour with shoots and concepts, we wanted to create a smaller, more intimate space - one where there's room to breathe, experiment, and actually enjoy the process.
This retreat is about experiencing New England in the summer, being present with the people and places around you, and creating work that feels natural, honest, and lasting - not rushed or forced.
