A Motherclickers Retreat  •  September 2026

3 Days
6 Photographers
1 weekend that changes
the trajectory.

A luxury cottage on a private lake in Muskoka. Styled shoots, real education.

Dates
Sept 25 – 27, 2026
Location
Muskoka, Ontario

This is a small, intentional weekend designed for photographers who want to grow their business.

We built this retreat because we kept hearing the same thing from the photographers in our community: “I’m learning a lot, but I’m still doing it alone.” So we rented a luxury cottage on a private lake in Muskoka, kept it to six people, and built a weekend that mixes real education with actual rest. Because those two things don’t have to be in competition.

A luxury cottage on a private lake
We’re talking a fully private property about 15 minutes from Rosseau in the heart of Muskoka cottage country. Your own bed, stunning water views, and zero strangers wandering through. This is not a shared rental with whoever else booked the same weekend. It is exclusively yours, and ours, for three days.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don’t.

4 Styled Shoots
Maternity, motherhood, and family, including 2 golden hour sessions
Luxury Private Cottage
Your own bed on a fully private lake in Muskoka, shared room with one other participant
All Meals
Covered for the full weekend, dietary accommodations available, plus one dinner out at a local restaurant
Daily Formal Education
In-depth sessions with takeaway resources you’ll actually use
Collaborative Sessions
1-2 informal, discussion-based education sessions led by your cohort as much as us
Free Time
Actual downtime to relax, explore Muskoka, or just sit by the water and breathe

Photography, motherhood, and the sh*t nobody warned you about. That’s what we’re talking about all weekend. The pretty shots AND the real ones.


For the moms

You give everything to everyone.
This weekend is yours.

If you’re a mom running a photography business, you already know what it feels like to be stretched in twelve directions before 9am. You’re editing after bedtime, answering emails during nap time, and trying to build something real in the gaps between everyone else’s needs. You’re doing an incredible job. And you are also, probably, exhausted.

This retreat isn’t just a chance to level up your business. It’s a chance to put the mental load down for two and a half days. To eat a meal that someone else cooked. To sit by a lake and not have anyone ask you for anything. To remember that you are a whole person with your own ambitions, your own creative vision, and your own need for rest and connection.

You don’t have to earn a break. You don’t have to justify it. You just have to book it.

The work will be there when you get back. You’ll just be better equipped to do it.
