A Stunning First Retreat
Hailey and I hosted our first retreat in Palm Springs and it was so much fun! During our retreats we host multiple styled shoots in beautiful locations including the Windmills of Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, Zion, and more! All of the couples during this retreat were so much fun and so flexible. I love being able to work with such incredible people who share my passion for photography! During the retreat, I met some incredible photographers within the industry and I can’t wait to keep connecting with people and making amazing friends through the future retreats Hailey and I will be hosting!

Hairstylist Saves the Day
One of our couples had dropped out last minute, so we had to find a couple for our session! Our hairstylist, who helped the models for our photoshoots, had modeled for us the first day and told us that her and Mikey would be able to model again if we needed them! The dress we had picked out fit her perfectly and their whole vibe was so cute! We used a vintage car for some of the photos and it turned out to be such a great prop! It brought the whole vintage vibe we were going for together and the photos turned out to be absolutely stunning! If you’re looking for unique ideas to use for your session at the windmills of Palm Springs, I highly recommend using props like vintage cars and fun outfits!

Beautiful Weather in the Windmills of Palm Springs
I have been to the windmills once before and it was super windy, so I was worried it would be windy the day of this shoot. There was not a lot of wind on the day of the shoot which was awesome! The weather actually turned out to be absolutely beautiful and the photos reflected that! If you plan on visiting or plan to take photos at the windmills of Palm Springs, check the weather beforehand to make sure it won’t be windy! If it gets too windy, they will close down the road next to the windmills and it may postpone your special plans! Better to be safe then sorry, but once you find the right weather, it’s an absolute blast and will become a memorable experience that you’ll never forget!
