Joi Photo Dream Shoot Retreat | Jan 2020

Let’s run away together! My next excursion to Sayulita, Mexico is for laid-back, travel experienced ladies who love photos, adventure and love to connect with other women! This amazing retreat experience retreat is planned for Jan 22 to 29th, 2020 and there is room for just SIX attendees.  Together we’ll stay in our own Mexican vacation home, complete with a kitchen, pool and a quick trek to the beach!

I’ve been to Sayulita a number of times and it’s the cutest little surf town with amazing beaches, shops, restaurants and the most beautiful sunsets! There’s lots to do around the area: shop till you drop, surfing, paddle boarding, relax on the beach, volunteer at the animal shelter, whale watching, secret islands, swimming, dancing, and more!

What makes this a bucket list must? Not only is the location and atmosphere astonishing, but you get to hang out in this paradise with like-minded women, having a blast and a photoshoot all for you! Each gal’s shoot will have five stylized looks based on what she considers her fantasy shoot! That being said I recommend:  one glamorous look – a flowy or sparkly dress or something out of the ordinary; one casual look, something we can hit the town in for a walk-about shoot; one swimsuit look for the beach or pool; a lingerie look, for the beach, pool or house; and one totally out there look — birthday suit counts!

The best things in life are shared! This retreat is the perfect girls-getaway for besties! We do lots of fun things together as a group but there’s also down time to shop, hit the beach or lounge by the pool. If you choose to come solo, don’t worry — it’s a very inclusive and judgement free environment!

Who’s this retreat for? Well one– you really have to like photos! Two– you should be an adventure lover! Many of the -best- locations are off the beaten path, meaning hiking, bugs and a bit of sweat (WORTH IT)! Three– this get away is best for ladies with a positive attitude and an open mind! The ultimate goal is for everyone to have the time of their lives and come away with amazing memories and new friends!
