Retreats + Experiences
NATURAL, DOCUMENTARY-STYLE RETREAT PHOTOGRAPHY
Retreats create such a special space for connection, transformation + meaningful experiences. I am there to document the magic as it unfolds, creating lasting memories for your guests + beautiful, intentional imagery to help tell the story of your retreat.
With a deep understanding of the vulnerability that can come with these experiences, I take time to connect with your group and create a sense of trust + comfort. This allows me to capture the real moments, genuine connection + little details that make the experience what it is, for you, your guests + your business. 🤍
FACILITATION + WORKSHOPS
In addition to professional photography, I am also a certified yoga + mindfulness teacher and can support your retreat through slow-flow movement, grounding meditation + breathwork, and nature connection experiences.
PLANNING + RETREAT SUPPORT
Need an extra set of hands behind the scenes? I can also support with retreat planning, experience curation + on-site coordination to help bring your vision to life and keep things flowing smoothly throughout your retreat.
Travel-inclusive packages available throughout British Columbia + worldwide.

Want to know a little bit more about me (Ashley Drody), and how I approach retreat photography?
Check out my episode on the Retreat Builder Podcast!
Working with Ashley is a beautiful experience. In particular, having her a part of my yoga retreat was a gift that went far beyond the images she captured throughout. Ashley listened in to my intentions and desires, and at the same time brought her creative wisdom and skills. She spent the week integrating with our participants and created a level of comfort and ease with her gentle and loving energy. There is an underlying grace and support to the way Ashley photographs, which empowers everyone to shine as their most natural and authentically beautiful Selves. It's so refreshing to find a photographer who you want to hire and also hang out with after the shoot! Thank you Ashley for all that you are!

I truly can't recommend Ashley enough! She has more than an eye for a stunning image, she's able to capture the whole experience of being in a moment like no one I've ever seen before.
Ashley photographs my retreats, and we've done lifestyle shoots together to create content for a friend's fashion line. What I love is witnessing how she dissolves awkward feeling/insecurity in real women (who do not model) and turns lifestyle shoots into an opportunity for empowerment, newfound confidence and fun!
It also takes a very skilled, sensitive person with an understanding of yoga retreats in order to come in and capture candid moments without it being disruptive. Given her background as a certified yoga teacher, she's able to float around the room like a butterfly and saves snaps for just the right moment without it becoming a distraction.
I hope more people have the opportunity to experience her magic!

I’d love to hear from you!
