COLLECTIVE

14 SEATS AVAILABLE

An Intimate Photography Retreat focused on Maternity + Motherhood Photography. Nestled in the magic of the Sierra Nevadas in Lake Tahoe, California.

capturing the beloved...

Do moments of Motherhood move you as an Artist? Does this sacred season filled with the purest, strongest, most raw + intimate love truly call you home? Are you searching to eloquently chronicle every Mother’s journey in a way that feeds your soul and honors each powerful + unique story?

These are the moments that define us, that interlace our own Motherhood journey and purpose with that fierce connection we see in others…..where our Art becomes something more. Purposeful + True.

We invite you to join us on a journey…
An exploration through Motherhood Photography
A journey offering something a little more….
To be seen, to connect, to create and dive deep into creating revered Art with true intent.

We created this retreat to speak to the Motherhood photographer who is seeking to grow as an Artist, and some serenity mixed with a sense of community empowerment, relaxation and pampering. We hope to create community, a true sense of support and encouragement with other women in the industry….shooting by day and hot tubbing and relaxing under the stars by night.

Stephanie Tetreault

Stephanie’s love affair with photography started after having her first child. She lives in a small town near Sacramento, California with her husband and two children. She has always been an extrovert and creative but when she found photography it quite literally changed her focus and her soul lives for connective, sun-drenched images that tell the story of both raw human connection and Motherhood. A Cali girl born and raised, she longs for the quiet moments in between all the chaos of life. Stephanie has been featured in Lookslikefilm, Dear Photographer, and other blogs and publications, and is a Master at teaching and implementing an IPS business model. She has taught workshops from Zion, Utah to Joshua Tree, California and has a course with Unraveled Academy. She is an acclaimed Photographer, Mentor, Teacher and is so excited to be diving into her true passion, capturing Motherhood in all its beauty.
