Photography Retreat in Maine: The Roam Reborn

FILED IN: EDUCATION, RETREATS / WORKSHOPS

Next fall, we’re hosting a transformational photography retreat in Maine as The Roam turns 10. But here’s the truth. Spiritually, this isn’t our tenth retreat. It’s our first.

Because Maine isn’t just another retreat on the calendar. It is a rebirth. A stepping into something new. A moment we have been moving toward for a long time.

A New Era of The Roam

For a while now, we’ve felt a shift happening in the photography world. Maybe you’ve felt it too. That quiet pull toward deeper meaning, away from surface-level growth and into something richer. Away from quick content grabs, and toward intentional storytelling. Away from hustle for the sake of hustle, and into alignment with who we really are.

We didn’t always have the words for it. But now it is clear. Photographers are craving more than just education. They are craving transformation, community, clarity, and connection.

Why the Photography World Needs Connection

That is exactly what Camp Roam: Maine Edition is built for. A photography retreat in Maine designed for connection, clarity, and storytelling.

The photography world doesn’t need more surface-level styled shoots. What it needs is connection with our couples, with our community, and most importantly, with ourselves. We believe this only happens when you do the inner work. When you know your why. When you understand not just how to take a beautiful photo, but how to truly tell a story.

The 6-Day Retreat Breakdown

Over six days, we will dig into that work together. Here’s a glimpse at what you can expect.

Day 1 → Arrival and Welcome
Settle in, breathe deep, and step into the space. We will gather for a casual get-to-know-each-other session, share dinner together, and ease into retreat mode. This is about grounding, meeting your new community, and preparing for the days ahead.

Day 2 → Community and Clarity
Our deep-dive day. Together we will peel back the layers of business and self, workshop the hard stuff, and dig into your why. Who do you serve? How do you serve them? Why does it matter? We will explore it together. Afterward, we will head out into the area to reset and end the day with dinner as a group. This is one of the most unique parts of this photography retreat in Maine. You will create space for deep self-discovery before you even pick up your camera.

Day 3 → Storytelling Elopement
Our first guided elopement story. This is not just a styled shoot. It is a full-day narrative, complete with details unique to the couple, an invitation suite designed specifically for them, and the opportunity to capture everything from getting ready moments through the end of the day. You will spend time connecting with the couple beforehand. Throughout the day, we will guide you step by step on how to authentically tell their story, how to pose in a way that feels natural, and how to capture connection that is true to them.

Day 4 → Storytelling Micro-Wedding
An immersive, full wedding-day story. It will be intentionally crafted to feel true to the couple. From ceremony space to tablescape, from meaningful details to a custom invitation suite, you will document the flow of a wedding from start to finish. You will also capture the getting ready process, allowing you to practice telling the whole story of a wedding day with depth and emotion.

Day 5 → Storytelling Elopement (Round Two)
A second elopement story with its own unique couple and narrative. Again, you will have the chance to get to know the couple beforehand, then capture a full day of moments and details designed to reflect them. By the end, you will walk away with multiple story-driven galleries that feel genuine and portfolio-ready.

Day 6 → Farewell Breakfast
We will close the retreat gathered around the table one last time. Together, we will share breakfast, reflections, and heartfelt goodbyes. You will leave not just with new work, but with new friends, deeper clarity, and tools to carry forward into your business.

The Transformation You Will Take Home

While we can teach you what has worked for us, the most impactful transformation will come when you discover who you serve, why you do what you do, and how you want to tell stories.

Camp Roam is not about performance. It is not about a highlight reel. It is about cultivating connection, telling stories with heart, and leaving with clarity you can carry into every part of your business.

Maine is not just a retreat. It is the rebirth. The Roam reborn. 💫 If you have been searching for a photography retreat in Maine that offers more than styled shoots, this is it.

If you are craving a place to begin your own deep-dive before Maine, we recommend starting here: The Conscious Perspective Podcast. It is a beautiful space to begin reflecting, exploring your why, and preparing your heart for what is to come.

MEET D + B

We’re Bri and Dana, besties who met at a retreat in 2020 while searching for real connection in the photography world.

When that retreat fell short of what we needed, we decided to build it ourselves. That’s how The Roam was born, a space for photographers to grow, create, and find their people, without the competition or cliques.

We’re here to help you build your business and your community, because you shouldn’t have to choose between the two.
