The Dolomites landscape was absolutely breathtaking and we were treated to picture-perfect views while hiking hut to hut. Not only did I get to meet my photography heroes, but I was able to adventure and photograph alongside these inspiring women! Jade & Mathilde beautifully balanced the act of confidently guiding us with their professional knowledge whilst creating a warm, relaxed and easygoing atmosphere. Throughout the 5 days and 4 nights, we created many wonderful memories that I’ll cherish forever! Although we started as strangers, by the end I can say that I’ve found lifelong friends and supporters of my ambitions. This trip was a life-changing experience for me as it reawakened my creative heart and passion for photography! Thank you Jade & Mathilde for providing this unique experience that exceeded my wildest dreams!

I can’t stop smiling when I think back on how life changing my experience was during Jade and Mathilde’s Switzerland workshop! I’ve joined countless retreats and group adventures over the years and this one genuinely was the most life changing for both for my craft and for me as a human. 

The workshop was a rare kind of journey that blends creativity, bucket list adventure, community, movement, and self reflection (with a lot of laughter ) into something truly magical. Jade and Mathilde are genuine, wildly creative spirits who lead with heart as much as skill. To witness their way of seeing the world, and then to learn from it, was such a gift. Even with all the logistics and moving parts, they carried the week with such calm confidence that made everything feel effortless. They were the most relaxed planners I’ve ever met. It was inspiring just to be in their orbit. 

Each day came with a plan yet nothing ever felt planned. The landscapes they shared with us felt like local secrets and it often seemed as if the Alps belonged to us alone. 

And then there were the humans :). The group that came together for this workshop was truly unmatched as every person brought their own story, energy, skill, and flavor. I left with new friends and a photography support system I know will stretch far beyond this one week together. 

Some experiences fade with time, but this trip is a memory I keep returning to whenever I want to remember a time when I felt most myself.

This workshop wasn’t just about photography, it was a truly empowering experience, both creatively and emotionally. More than learning new techniques, I discovered new ways of seeing nature through the eyes of other creative minds. Spending an entire week surrounded by fellow photographers was such a joy. The trip was perfectly organized, and thanks to Jade and Mathilde, we got to explore so many stunning places across Switzerland. It was, without a doubt, one of the best group experiences I’ve ever had, and I came back not only with thousands of photos, but with countless unforgettable memories.

When I signed up for Jade and Mathilde’s Switzerland trip I was hoping to learn some things about photography, see some beautiful sights, and meet some lovely people. As it turned out, my hopes were massively underestimating how transformative and powerful the trip would be. I came away having grown not just as an artist, but as a person as well. The trip that Jade and Mathilde put together is a one of the best experiences of my entire life. From the meticulously planned itinerary to the astoundingly funny, creative, and generous group of people that they curated, it’s hard to put into words how special this experience was. The hikes were challenging, but so incredibly rewarding and led to some of the most breathtaking sights in the world. The photographic storytelling skills that Jade and Mathilde taught us have opened my eyes to new ways of shooting. The trip was an investment that was worth the money tenfold. I can’t speak highly enough of Jade and Mathilde and the trip they made. If you’re considering going on one in the future, don’t hesitate to apply. It will change you.

After the most lovely 5 days in the Dolomites, I wrote in my journal, “nothing could’ve prepared me for how transformative and beautiful this experience was going to be.” Jade and Mathilde cultivated such a wonderful, creative, and dynamic space for like-minded individuals to connect. We woke up at 5AM to catch the sunrise, trekked up mountain sides, endured hail storms, and took thousands of photos. The friendships that blossomed from these experiences are my most precious memories though; hikes were colored by incredible conversations, many laughs, and constant breaks to take pictures of cows :) I was completely inspired by everyone’s creative vision and deep love for nature. It’s an experience I will hold near to my heart forever!

Jade and Mathilde created a beautiful, wholesome environment that encouraged learning and growth (and bravery!). I had expressed in my application that I had felt very intimidated by the photography community and that I regularly had imposter syndrome. Not only did I think I had no chance of getting on this trip, but the idea of traveling with photographers was daunting. And I don't know how Mathilde and Jade did it, but they somehow managed to put together a really wonderful bunch of personalities. It's so lovely to watch us all come together to support each other on social media, and everyone seems genuinely excited to see all the work we've produced. This trip was truly a highlight of my year. They both helped me fall in love with the process again and for that, I am eternally grateful.
