What's a Styled Content Retreat?
A styled retreat is a specialized event designed for photographers to enhance their skills, network with peers, and gain inspiration in a creative environment. These retreats typically feature hands-on sessions led by experienced photographers and other industry professionals. When you join us at our styled retreats you'll be with people who have been to the locations and know the area so that you can feel confident when booking with us. We do not plan our retreats at any location we have not been to ourselves. This gives you the confidence to join in with us!
The "styled" aspect refers to carefully curated scenes, featuring couples and unique locations that photographers can capture. This allows attendees to build their portfolios while experimenting with new ideas and techniques. Beyond the technical skills, we foster community, and provide a relaxing atmosphere for networking, and collaborating with other creatives.
the experience
welcome
Our welcome dinners bring you the best where we will meet up and enjoy some amazing foods. They are a great way to connect with one another on the first night while immersing in some Oregonian fun!
Accommodations
We'll be offering three nights stay near the the Bend area in Oregon with shoots set in several locations including the painted hills, smith rock and several others. We'll be renting out our own little place, so there will be no other guests other than our team at that time. All breakfast and dinners along with some snacks will be provided as well!
Networking /business besties
You will be working with some of our favorite vendors from Eastern Oregon all while building your own relationships with them. So while we all collaborate with locals, you're instilling trust for future business. You'll get to meet the "Ivy" team, and we can't wait to become life-long friends. We will have time set aside for questions and editing (while this will be optional to join we highly suggest you stick around for it).
Adventure /the take your breath away kind
Pack those bags! We will be hiking around the Eastern Oregon terrain that will take your breath away. If you're not "excellent" at hiking, don't stress! We'll go at our team's pace. Note: some of the areas we'll be in requires moderate hiking. Be sure to dress appropriately. We'll be putting out a "packing list" soon to help.
I'm hooked. Sign me up!
