Day 1
Arrive at Cancun Airport and ferry into Isla, which is one of the clearest beaches in the WORLD.
Today is all about letting go. You arrive, exhale, and step into island time. We’ll get everyone checked in, settled, and comfortable in the villa before heading out to explore the island by golf cart—our favorite way to move here. Dinner be provided oceanfront, toes in the sand, drinks flowing, and your first taste of what this week is going to feel like. For those ready to dive in, we may begin light shooting as the sun sets or even in our private pool.
Day 2
Culture + Connection
For the early risers, we’ll start the morning at a charming island café—slow coffee, good conversation, and a soft start to the day. Midday, we’ll visit one of the island’s most heartwarming spots—a local dog sanctuary—followed by lunch at the iconic Yellow Bus Café, known for its incredible Cuban sandwiches and its mission of employing differently-abled individuals in the community. The afternoon is yours to wander. Shop, explore, people-watch, and fully lean into the rhythm of the island. That evening, we’ll gather on the beach, followed by karaoke, dancing, and a night that usually turns into one of everyone’s favorites.
Day 3
Ocean + Energy
We start early—before the island wakes up—for a morning beach shoot. This is when the light is soft, the beaches are quiet, and the magic happens. From there, we’ll head to Kin Ha Beach Club, where the day is yours to relax—swim in crystal water, lay in hammocks over the ocean, and just exist without a schedule. We’ll make a stop at Punta Sur to take in the cliffs and lighthouse views before heading back for downtime. Sunset brings us back to the beach for another round of shooting, followed by a night out on the town if you would like.
Day 4
Open Water + Freedom
We’ll start the morning with another optional shoot before heading out for a catamaran experience. Think open water, music, drinks, and that kind of laughter you can’t recreate anywhere else. After returning, the evening is intentionally left open—rest, explore, or head out depending on your energy.
Day 5
Flex + Farewell
This is your day. Sleep in, grab coffee, shop, explore, or book any final shoots you’ve been wanting. This flexible space allows you to soak in whatever you feel like you need more of. We’ll close the week with a farewell dinner—beautiful, intentional, and a moment to reflect on everything this experience became.
Day 6
Slow goodbyes, hugs that linger a little longer, and heading home with memories and friendships .and a version of yourself—you didn’t arrive with.

Experience + Comfort
What if I don’t feel confident right now? Perfect. You’re not supposed to. This experience isn’t for people who already feel “ready”—it’s for people who are open to seeing themselves differently. Do I need to know how to pose? No. You’ll be guided through everything. From where to place your hands to how to move your body—nothing is left to guesswork. What if I feel awkward during the shoot? Everyone does at first. That usually disappears within minutes. The environment is supportive, hyped, and completely judgment-free. Do I have to wear lingerie? Not at all. You can wear whatever feels like you—oversized shirts, swimwear, nothing structured, or fully styled looks. This is about expression, not a dress code.
Privacy + Safety
Will my photos be shared online? Only with your explicit permission. Your privacy is respected fully—always. Is this a safe space? Yes. This is an open-minded, respectful environment. Judgment, negativity, or disrespect toward others will not be tolerated. Can I bring a friend or partner? This retreat is designed for a shared group experience. If you’re considering bringing someone, reach out first so we can make sure it aligns with the dynamic.
Booking + Payments
Do you offer payment plans? Yes. Payment plans are available to make this experience accessible without overwhelming upfront costs. What is the deposit? Is it refundable? A non-refundable deposit is $500 required to secure your spot. Because of the limited availability and planning involved, all payments are non-refundable unless otherwise stated. What happens if I can’t make it? Spots are transferable (pending approval), but not refundable. Travel insurance is strongly recommended.
Travel Logistics
How do I get to Isla Mujeres? You’ll fly into Cancun, then take a short ferry to the island. We’ll provide a full step-by-step guide so it’s seamless. Do I need a passport? Yes. A valid passport is required for international travel. Should I get travel insurance? Yes. Highly recommended to protect your investment in case of unexpected changes.
Photography + Purchasing
How much do photos cost? Collections will be shared in advance so you know exactly what to expect. There is no obligation to purchase, but most clients choose to once they see their images. When will I see my images? You’ll receive previews and a reveal appointment within a month after the retreat Can I pre-purchase images? Yes—and there may be incentives for doing so before the retreat. Will there be time for multiple outfits or looks? Yes. There will be multiple shooting opportunities throughout the week with different settings and vibes.
Retreat Experience
Is there downtime? Yes. The itinerary is intentionally balanced so you can rest, explore, or participate as much as you want. What’s the group dynamic like? Think open-minded, curious, supportive people who are here for more than just a vacation. Will I feel out of place if I come alone? No. Most people come solo—and leave feeling deeply connected. Is this more luxury or laid back? It’s both. Elevated, curated, but still relaxed and real. There is a more island vibe so we will be going to places that locals do.
Boundaries + Expectations
What kind of behavior is expected? Respect, openness, and self-awareness. This space is built on mutual respect and shared energy. What if I’m more introverted? That’s completely okay. You can engage at your own pace—there’s no pressure to be “on” all the time. If there are anxieties or disabilities please talk to one of us prior. Are there any restrictions? This is an open, expressive environment—but always respectful. Anything that disrupts the safety or comfort of others won’t be tolerated. Nudity may happen on this trip.
“If you’re still questioning it, that’s normal. Most people who come felt the same way before they said yes.”
