First and foremost: Retreats will be on sale starting at 8am PST on Tuesday, July 25th, 2023 and snagging the sale deal will last through 8pm PST that evening! The best way to make sure you have dibs on where you want to go is by getting the booking link delivered straight to your inbox. While obviously our Facebook community is where it's AT... Facebook doesn't like the words "sale", "promotion", etc.... so ALL of my current posts are being suppressed. Rude! So, this is how we work around that and how you get to join us for an epic retreat SOMEPLACE amazing!!

What's included in every retreat:
Allllllll your meals & drinks in the house. Every single retreat will be catered and/or have a private chef for the duration of the trip - we're going to be spoiled and taken care of!
Your spot in the house! I mean, I'm a little boujee and you bet these houses are going to be baller!! Hello Mexican villas, Icelandic ranches, open air luxury compounds in Bali and castles in Ireland! ššš You will be making new friends and sharing a room! There are no options for solo rooms. Every Someplace Retreat gives you the opportunity to connect with the other amazing babes in our community and that starts with sharing spaces!
Your MINI SESSION!! Mini sessions are like dipping your toe into the world of boudoir: a 30 minute shoot with 3 outfits! Yes, I'll bring MANY wardrobe options with me, don't you worry! Hair and makeup will have to be done on your own, but I'm here to help put lashes on! We'll shoot alllll over the house and/or the property of where we're staying and I'll make sure every single shoot is unique - no repeats here! You will also have the option of one glamour outfit - getting the best of both worlds with boudoir & glamour!!
Typically, with my sessions, all products are all purchased separately!! However with this, a specific collection is being INCLUDED! That collection isĀ Someplace'sĀ most POPULAR collection, The Sophia Upgraded. ($3000 if purchased as a collection during a regular boudoir session!)
Sophia Upgraded includes
- An 8x8" album with 24 images! These are cute, sassy, and are very "Little Black Book" (but you can pick whatever color you want!)!
- An 11x14 Dream Print, to hang your stunning self on a wall set in a frame - we gotta show you off, boo!
- ALL OF YOUR DIGITAL FILES! Yes! Digital files are included in this collection which is something I *never* do! You'll have the files uploaded to a private, online gallery where you'll get to choose your 24 favorites for the album itself, one for your dream print, and all of the images are downloadable! We're going to call this win-win-win all around, cause there will definitely be like 50+ images of you looking like absolute š„š„š„!
And likeā¦. not to sound overly self important, but I think I'm really fun and you'll get a whole week ish with me-being the YAS QUEEN loud goddess that I am, but also the chill, lounge in the pool for hours on end mermaid that I am. Really, I'm just trying to say you should come chill with me.
So, are you ready?
Let's chat cost! One of the most important elements!
The cost for the whole retreat: your stay in the epic location of your choosing, all food & drinks, catered by a private chef AND your mini boudoir & glam session that includes our most popular collection, The Sophia Upgraded - 8x8" 24 Image Album, 11x14 Dream Print and ALL your digital files, is a grand total of $5000.
A non-refundable $500 deposit to claim your space in the house is required. The remainder of the payment will be set up as a payment plan following your booking- these will be set up during the first week of August, 2023. There are many options for your payment plan: weekly, bi-weekly or monthly payments so that when it's time for this epic vacay, we are ready to bring out your goddess and everything else is taken care of!!
Let's look at a little payment breakdown, shall we? If you want to join us payments can look a little like this:
- $500 deposit on July 25th
- $4500 remainder, minus $250 Christmas in July promo = $4250
- For Mexico in January: Monthly payments of $708 or bi weekly payments of $355 from August 2023 - January 2024

Things to know.
- Your non refundable deposit ($500) must be paid upfront to secure your booking date. This fee is non-refundable, but transferrable to another person if you are not able to make it.
- Sessions are solo sessions only. No couples sessions, no "bringing a friend who lives in town for just a few pictures"- my studio policy does not allow guests. Do not put me in the awkward position of telling you "no" to this.
The total payment of $5000 ($500 deposit and additional $4500) is due two weeks before your retreat takes place. No exceptions.
During this Christmas in July special, $250 will be taken off the remaining balance after the deposit $4500 - $250 will leave your remaining balance at $4250 which can be split into a multitude of payment plans.
These retreats and mini sessions are ONLY being offered for these specific weeks and times. Each experience will be fantastically unique - from location, food, the amazing company AND making a vacay out of your boudoir shoot... not to be missed! With my full sessions, most babes spend an average of $2900 on products! This is the AVERAGE investment, many spend more, or spend less. So, can we say this is a steal!? I think YES!
Think you might want to upgrade to a larger album or add on prints!? Or... it's going to be so hard to choose 24 images and you want more in your album?! Boo, I got you. We'll have options for that once we've shot your session and you see how much you're in love! All of that will come after our amazing retreat!
In addition to my in-house, 0% financing Payment Plans, I ALSO offer financing through Paypal Credit. They offer 0% interest on financing if it's paid within 6 months and have a fantastic program! I can answer any more questions that you may have about anything, since investing in a boudoir session is investing in yourself and offering you an amazing experience to showcase your beauty. Full payment must be completed a minimum of two weeks before your retreat takes place!
Alright, alright....
Last FAQ's!
What type of free time will we have? The beauty of these retreats is in their flexibility! Every single attendee will get to choose a time for their boudoir mini session in advance so that extracurricular planning can happen! All glamour moments/shoots will happen in one set time on the trip. ie: We all check in on Sunday. You choose a boudoir shoot time on Tuesday, and the adventure to reach our glamour location is on Thursday. You can spend Monday, Wednesday & Friday ... and probably a bit of Tuesday out exploring yourself or with other babes.
What additional activities are included in the retreat? While some fun things will be included in the house activities everything that is included will be limited to in the house and on the property - such as morning yoga classes. Beyond that, everyone is free to explore these dream destinations and do some bucket list, extracurricular things!
How does room sharing work? You will receive a questionnaire before your retreat and we will pair you with someone who is a match to your sleep habits! If you and a friend are both attending a retreat and would like to be matched together, that is always an option. All rooms *will* be shared - every Someplace Retreat is like this! Making new friends comes with stepping out of comfort zones! Many of these epic homes only have king beds in each room, though some have the options of being split into twins, and the occasional will have multiple larger beds in a room.
Tell me more about the food! Listen, y'all. I'm a gal who loves good food, and there will be good food! Either a private chef or catered meals will be present every day, but you are more than welcome to eat out and explore *more* local cuisine while exploring! Included in your retreat questionnaire will be dietary and allergy information and *preferences!* to help us best plan for everyone. I personally have Ulcerative Colitis (if you didn't know, now you do!) which means I have specific dietary needs and I FULLY understand how important those needs, as well as preferences are!
What about transportation? For each retreat - getting to and from the actual destination is your responsibility. I currently have flight watches set for each destination and can help with pointers on booking your flights once you've chosen your destination and dates! During the retreats themselves: each location is different! In Bali, for example, we will have a few drivers on call and any group activities out of the house will include transportation to and from those activities! In Ireland, I will be renting a car/van for much of the transportation of the group. In Mexico, Uber is the easiest! This Q of course has a follow up Q of Can I rent a car myself if I choose? and the answer to that is absolutely yes! More details for each retreat will be discussed with the attendees as the retreats themselves are closer.
I'm nervous about getting along with others and being in a house full of women, how do I ease my fears about this?Ā Multiple years and retreats into this, I understand this fear. Many of us have been raised to constantly guard ourselves around women we don't know, but the rules of our Facebook community follow to in person: treat each other with kindness, uplift others, and always - no bigotry allowed. We are here to travel with and experience new things with new people - and each retreat has created beautiful friendships and deep conversations by everyone in attendance moving forward with respect, listening skills and vulnerability. And the straight up answer to this is: I don't tolerate petty bullshit. I do not tolerate "mean girls" or drama, and if someone who has booked is causing waves in an unacceptable way, I will refund them and they will not be attending. These retreats are a space for us to have amazing experiences with other babes and step forward with confidence and love for ourselves more deeply.
I truly can not WAIT for the epic year that 2024 will be... Set that alarm clock for 8 am PST on Tuesday, July 25th to snag your dream retreat space!!
