Why This Retreat?

Many women assume a boudoir retreat is meant for someone younger, bolder, or more confident than they feel right now. That hesitation is normal.

This retreat isn’t about being fearless or performing for the camera. It’s about being supported, guided, and celebrated exactly as you are. Stepping away to a beautiful place changes the experience. The pace is different. The environment is different. You’re not fitting something meaningful into a busy life. You’re giving it space.

Being photographed over several days, in a setting that feels open and unhurried, allows the experience to unfold in a way a single studio session simply can’t. This isn’t just a getaway, and it’s not just a photo shoot. It’s time set aside to feel confident, present, and fully yourself, and to leave with images that reflect that feeling.

Discover What Awaits You in Paradise

An experience built around photography, time away, and shared moments in a setting that naturally slows everything down.

Photography Sessions in Iconic Island Settings

You’ll be photographed across multiple sessions throughout the week, allowing the experience to unfold gradually rather than all at once.

  • A boudoir session at the villa, set in a private, relaxed environment

  • A beach session capturing the natural beauty of St. Martin

  • A flying dress session at Fort St. Louis, creating dramatic, one-of-a-kind images

Your retreat experience includes a professional product package valued at $1,600, featuring a 6×6 album with 12 images and social media-ready digital files.

Accommodations

Each guest has her own private room in a shared villa, offering beautiful backdrops, a pool, and sweeping views. The villa serves as both a place to unwind and one of the primary locations for photography.

Dining and Island Experiences

Meals and activities are part of the experience, not an afterthought.

  • A private catamaran cruise with dining and an open bar

  • Dinners at well-loved local restaurants

  • Time spent exploring places like Orient Bay, Maho Beach, and other scenic locations

Beauty and Styling Support

Professional makeup is provided for your villa session, along with guidance to help you feel comfortable and prepared for the remaining shoots throughout the week.

Everything is planned with care so you can focus on the experience itself, enjoy the island, and move through the week at a pace that feels natural rather than rushed.

What You’ll Experience

This retreat is designed to feel immersive without being overwhelming. There’s a clear plan for the week, but nothing feels rushed or overfilled. You’ll have time to settle in, enjoy where you are, and let the experience build naturally.

Being photographed over several days changes the dynamic in a meaningful way. Each session builds on the last, giving you time to relax into the process and feel more comfortable as the week unfolds. You’re not trying to capture everything in a single moment. You’re allowing space for the experience to develop.

Between sessions, you’ll have time to enjoy the island, share meals and conversations, and simply relax. The setting and pace create a sense of ease that’s difficult to replicate in a traditional studio shoot.
