Behind the lens

disconnecting to reconnect

Most of us have a better relationship with our phones than we do with some of our friends - which is why during our retreats, we encourage you to put your phone down, and really tune in to your mind, body, and surroundings. Take some time to reconnect with yourself, nature and with those around you.

Most retreat experiences are captured by our lovely photographer partners. After you’ve attended, gone home and are looking for photos to remember the weekend - you’ll receive an email in your inbox with a link to the weekend’s photographs.

The lady behind the lens, designer and natural-red head; Rachel loves capturing real-life authentic moments. Sparking her passion in high school, Rachel began her photography career using a film camera. Graduating college with a minor degree in digital photography, Rachel moved on to her professional career in interior design. Two years ago, she felt a desire to pick the camera up again, and a few months ago she took the plunge into photography as her full-time gig.

Rachel loves working with female small business entrepreneurs creating visual content to bring their brands to life. She also loves capturing lifestyle & editorial portraits of all varieties. Posed photos? Not so much, Rachel prefers capturing moments in their natural form.

Shoutout to Rachel, as she’s captured the majority of our beautiful website photography.
