shoot. learn. relax.

Join us for a photography retreat in beautiful Door County, Wisconsin, on Sunday February 25th through Wednesday February 28th, 2024. This will be the perfect opportunity for you to come together with other photographers to relax, recharge, and refresh.

  • RELAX – Beautiful Door County in the winter, at the newly renovated Little Harbor Resort, is the perfect place to escape. We will have scheduled personal time for exploring the outdoors, shopping in nearby Sturgeon Bay, or simply taking a nap or enjoying the outdoor hot tub.
  • RECHARGE – Peer Sharing sessions will be short presentations, delivered by retreat participants, and followed up with Q&A time. These topics will be chosen based on the expressed interests of registered attendees, and will offer a chance to learn a new skill or uncover tips and tricks that help us grow.
  • REFRESH – All attendees are encouraged to take time for self-care while at the retreat. We will have time for personal reflection and goal-setting, a relaxation night, and a morning yoga session will be offered right at the resort.

rest

A mind that is in constant motion needs time to rest and recharge. Only when our own cup is full, are we able to pour out into others’ cups.
