You've been on the wrong trips.

The ones where someone hands you an itinerary and the bus leaves at 2:15 whether you're ready or not. The ones where your partner or your friend is standing two steps behind you, arms crossed, waiting while you try to get the shot. Or worse — they're scrolling their phone while you're still deciding if the light is right, because the whole group already moved on without you.

And so you pack your camera away. Again.

And you tell yourself you'll get more time at the next stop.

You don't.

We've all done it. Put everyone else's pace ahead of the one thing we actually came to do. Because our cameras feel like an inconvenience... to everyone but us.

The Yukon Arctic Photography Tour isn't that trip.

10 days. Every woman there pulled over for the same light you did. No one on a schedule but the sun. First deposit extended to July 1st. One spot left.

Ansel Adams spent more time in the darkroom than behind the lens. What he did in the dark is exactly what Lightroom does today.

Our cameras are NOT humans. They can't possibly capture the exact colour, perspective, and dimensions of what our eyes see. And WHO SAID OUR CAMERAS HAD TO?

A photo is the canvas. Editing is the paint.

By the end of a workshop with us, you'll be saying "you've taught me to break the rules, and that excites me!"

Stop apologizing for having a vision.

We'd love to hear if you thought editing was/is cheating and why. Let's break that down together.

This is what creative time actually looks like. Not stolen. Not squeezed in. Non-negotiable.

📷 Save this for the next time someone asks why you need the whole day.

We're back from our photography retreat focusing on CREATIVITY from the long weekend!

This retreat was for intermediate and advanced photographers ready to reconnect or tap into their creative vision. All about creativity, less about photography fundamentals (what aperture, ISO, and shutter speed do).

We got up with the sunrise, crawled around on the forest floor, paddled on mirror-like water conditions, and transformed our personal growth as photographers.

We're excited to be offering a similar creative workshop this fall (October 16-18th) in Frontenac. Co-facilitated with for a weekend of forest therapy and photography!

If you're ready to start looking deeper and seeing differently as a nature or landscape photographer, this workshop's for you!

Yukon Arctic wilderness. 1 spot left. Your camera. 10 days of nothing but working on your craft.

More growth in 10 days than a year of camera club outings.

That's not a sales pitch. That's what happens when you remove every distraction, trade your to-do list for once-in-a-lifetime landscapes at 60°N latitude, and spend 10 full days surrounded by women who are there for exactly the same reason you are.

No one waiting on you.
No one checking their phone while you're still trying to frame the shot.
Just you, your camera, and country that will make you work hard to do it justice.

The photographer you remember being doesn't need another Tuesday night club meeting. She needs this.

First deposit extended to July 1st. One spot. Yours if you're ready.

We had our group of 12 wake up at 4:30am over the weekend at our Algonquin Creative Rebellion Photography Retreat to catch the sunrise.

Some weren't too happy about it at first, but within minutes of seeing this sunrise, there was a resounding "I think I'm a morning person now!"

We paddled, we photographed, we connected.

We'll be offering this retreat again in 2027 and will only be taking 10 women.

Just a few photos from our Algonquin Creative Rebellion Retreat to share.

"I just attended Cobi's Northern Edge Algonquin Creative Rebellion Retreat. Just wow!!!! I love Cobi's approach to photography. Seeing Nature through our own unique perspective versus photographing scenes based on the status quo. She helped me understand that what we capture through our lens reflects how we see our world."

We had an incredible time working on unlocking creativity. No camera basics, just composition tips, critiquing sessions, and workshop sessions with assignments.

We've already secured this weekend for 2027, dates will be announced soon. This one sold out in 6 weeks.

We celebrated the last night with a forest wood-fired pizza party and painting with light!
