Norway Travel Retreat
Reine, Lofoten
August 5-9, 2027
Come for the photography. Come for the adventure. But most of all, come ready to experience something new — and perhaps discover something new within yourself along the way.
There’s something remarkable that happens when women who share a love for photography, travel, and adventure come together in a place that feels wildly beautiful and completely new.
Something shifts.
There’s magic in seeing a destination through someone else’s eyes, in stepping beyond the familiar, and in the friendships that form through shared adventures, beautiful light, laughter, and a little bit of the unknown.
You return home with more than photographs. You return with renewed inspiration, confidence, and a deeper connection to yourself and your art. Sometimes, getting away from the familiar is exactly what helps us see ourselves — and our creativity — more clearly.
This retreat is more than a traditional photography workshop. It’s an immersive experience created for the adventurous heart. Together, we’ll explore the breathtaking Lofoten Islands, chase beautiful light, create three incredible photography sessions, photograph one another in unforgettable locations, and be fully present in it all.
Because this isn’t just a photography retreat — it’s a soul retreat, too.
Our home will be an iconic red house in the heart of Reine, surrounded by the dramatic beauty of the Reinefjord. Over four nights, we’ll explore the islands, enjoy the local culture and food, photograph unforgettable sessions, and make space for shooting, learning, editing, and connection.
RETREAT ITINERARY
AUGUST 5
Retreat begins with 4 pm check-in & welcome happy hour at our iconic red house in Reine, where every window offers storybook views. I’m also hoping to plan a bonus indoor/outdoor session right from the house to get things started.
AUGUST 6-8
Each day will start with breakfast at the house, then a day of exploring different parts of the Lofoten region. Lunch & dinner will be out and on the go so we can experience the local flavors & culture. We’ll have a shoot planned for each day as well that is flexible on timing, as the weather in Norway can be quite unpredictable. Be sure to also pack some outfits that you’re excited to be captured in yourself while we explore this incredible landscape. Remember, this is a travel retreat so we’re here to experience the journey as much as the photography.
AUGUST 9
For anyone wanting to hike the world-famous mountain-hike Reinebringen – it is literally just a 5 minute walk from the house & a great way to wrap up our time together. We will need to be back by check-out at 11 am though. For those not wanting to dare the 3.1 mile hike with 1,706′ elevation gain over 2,000 steps – this is your morning to sleep in and enjoy your last slow breakfast at the house.
