August 2-4 | at $875The Ozark Retreat:
❋
What to Expect
This retreat is a light hearted and fun experience for photographers and videographers who want meaningful content, while taking sometime to themselves, and making new friends. This end of the summer lake retreat, you’ll create photo and video content that focuses on story-telling, think dock sunsets, boat days, lakeside dinners, lifestyle and movement-filled sessions designed for reels and documentary storytelling.
You’ll enjoy shared meals, with allergy-friendly options of course, water activities, lodging, and plenty of time to rest, connect, and recharge. This is not intended to be a super fast paced retreat. Hoping to have some last summer fun, new friends, fresh content and renewed sense of creativity.
