RETREAT PHOTOGRAPHER
STOP LOSING POTENTIAL GUESTS TO BAD PHOTOS
You pour your heart into creating a transformative experience.
But if your photos don't capture that magic, you're leaving money on the table.
I specialise in authentic photography for retreats that tells your unique story and drives bookings.
SOME BRANDS I'VE WORKED WITH:
THE COST OF "GOOD ENOUGH" PHOTOS
Your retreat is a blend of serene moments, powerful connections, and life-changing experiences.
But most photography fails to capture this essence.
THIS LEADS TO:
Stock photos lie. They show a generic, perfect world that doesn't reflect your authentic offering.
Attendee iPhone snaps are weak marketing. Blurry, uncurated photos lack the professional quality needed to justify your premium price.
You're too busy hosting to also be the full-time documentarian.
Without powerful visuals, your marketing blends in instead of standing out, making it harder to fill your spots.
Your yoga retreat is more than a holiday; it's an atmosphere.
Imagine photography that captures the quiet peace of a morning yoga session, the golden glow of a real sunset, and the genuine laughter at dinner - not just because we were there with a camera for half a day, but because we were there, living it.
I specialize in visual storytelling for transformative retreats, crafting a gallery of images that sell the experience and help you stand out on booking sites.
THE RETREAT EXPERIENCE
I BECOME PART OF YOUR RETREAT.
I LEAVE WITH THE CONTENT THAT BOOKS YOUR NEXT ONE.
ONE PRICE. ONE PROCESS. EVERYTHING INCLUDED.
HOW IT WORKS
1.
Connect & Plan (Discovery Call): We discuss your retreat vision, goals, and the key moments you want captured.
2.
The Experience (On-Site): I blend into your retreat, capturing authentic moments without being intrusive. Your guests feel comfortable, and you can focus on hosting.
You run your retreat. I attend it—as a guest and an embedded documentarian.
I capture the entire story, from the opening circle to the final teary goodbye.
You get a complete content bank. I get the experience. Your guests get zero disruption.
3.
Deliver & Amplify (Post-Production): You receive a full gallery of professionally edited, high-resolution images tailored for marketing use.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE:

THE INVESTMENT
997 €
Your retreat costs €1,500. This package is €997. One new booking pays for it and puts €500 back in your pocket.
After that, every booking is pure profit fueled by content that works forever.
This is the cheapest, most effective marketing spend you will ever make.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Retreat leaders who are done with:
Photographers who don't understand the retreat experience.
Patchy, incoherent content that doesn't tell a story.
Leaving thousands of euros on the table because their marketing feels generic.
WHO THIS IS NOT FOR
People who want a cheap, one-day photo shoot that lacks soul.
Professional photography is one of the highest-ROI marketing investments a retreat leader can make.
A single booking secured directly from your new imagery covers the cost.
WHY THIS IS THE ONLY OFFER THAT MAKES SENSE
No Vibe Disruption for Guests: I’m a participant and team member, not a paparazzo photographing savasana.
Complete Story: You get the full narrative content, not random snapshots.
Simple Decision: One package. Everything you need. No confusing options.

This is the content that builds trust and convinces people to say "yes."
I work with you to achieve your marketing goals.
My photography gives you:
A library of authentic, sales-driving images for your website, social media, and brochures.
