Recap from Scotland retreat is one of those experiences I genuinely don’t think I’ll ever fully have the words for 🥹✨
First of all, getting to finally meet Cassidy after learning from her for YEARS was such a full circle moment in itself. She has been such a huge part of my photography journey and someone I’ve looked up to for a long time, so being there felt really special.
And then… Scotland 🏴 🤍
Being originally from England, being back over this side of the world already felt close to home. But what made it even crazier was finding out we were staying and shooting around the same area my ancestors lived in back in the 1700s. Getting to explore Tweedbank and the surrounding area felt weirdly emotional and nostalgic in a way I wasn’t expecting!
We stayed at the incredible Abbotsford House, the home of Sir Walter Scott, which honestly felt like stepping into another world. Castles, history, countryside, unbelievable views… I was in photographer heaven hahaha
The retreat itself was incredible. Insane editorials, Private chef meals, the sweetest group of creatives from all over the world, so many new friendships, SO many photos, and endless learning. I also got the chance to learn from and which was so cool!
I’m leaving with a very full heart, a very full hard drive 😂 and so many things I’m excited to bring back into my work.
Sometimes I genuinely have to stop and think how wild it is that photography has taken me around the world and given me opportunities like this. Younger me would never believe it! ✨
