we love the details
After years of styled shoots that gave us pretty photos but patchy galleries, we knew there had to be a better way. So we changed the game. Every shoot we design is built with purpose, from the flat lays and florals to the textiles and tablescapes. We craft full storylines, not just highlight reels, so you can leave with a gallery that feels like a real wedding or elopement. Because your portfolio should do more than look good, it should help you attract the kind of clients you actually want to work with.
what we offer at the roam
retreats
styled shoots
1:1 coaching
education + templates
More than just pretty locations and pretty pictures, our retreats are built for real connection, honest education, and creative reset. Think: intentional community, soulful conversations, portfolio-building shoots, and zero ego.
We don’t do fluff. Every styled shoot we design is rooted in realism and purpose, complete storylines, rich details, and real wedding vibes that help you build a portfolio that actually books.
Whether you’re stuck on pricing, burnout, or brand direction, our 1:1 sessions are designed to meet you where you are. This is support with soul, custom strategy, no gatekeeping, and zero generic advice.
No BS, no fluff, just tools that work. Our resources are built for photographers who want to grow smarter, not harder. Plug, and-play templates, guides, and trainings that help you show up like the pro you are.
"I have been to to a lot of styled shoots before but none have ever been executed or thought out as thoroughly as the roam collectives."
meet your hosts
The idea for The Roam all started at a retreat we attended together, one that was, well… less than great.
After being Insta friends for months, we finally met in person at a photography retreat in 2020. What should have been an inspiring experience quickly went south. Instead of a space for learning and growth, it felt more like competition than community. And that didn’t sit right with us.
With a combined 7 years in the industry at the time, we knew firsthand how hard it can be to find a truly supportive photography community—and we wanted to change that. Just one month after that retreat, The Roam Collective Co. was born.
Built on the foundation of education, connection, and creative growth, The Roam is here to be the retreat experience we always wished we had.
