Come Find Your People

Hi, I’m Kena. I’m a photographer, mama, retreat host, and creative mentor living in the wild and wonderful mountains of Montrose, Colorado. I believe in honest stories, golden light, and creating space for all artists and creatives to come home to themselves.

My photography is deeply rooted in connection — the kind you feel in your bones. Whether we’re capturing a family’s quiet joy or a woman’s powerful becoming, I want you to feel seen, celebrated, and at ease.

Through Ivy & Co., My amazing husband Dan & I host retreats for creatives around the world. We slow down, make art, and remember how good it feels to create with freedom.

If you feel pulled toward presence, beauty, and becoming... you’re in the right place.

Retreat Stories

These aren’t just retreats...they’re soft landings.
They’re for the creatives, the seekers, the dreamers, the healers.
The ones who give and give, and need a place to receive.

At Ivy & Co., we gather in stunning places around the world , not to escape our lives, but to come home to them. We slow down. We breathe. We make art, tell stories, eat good food, and sit in a space with friends who just get it. No pressure. No pretense. Just presence.



Whether you're a photographer, a creative soul, or someone who's simply ready to feel again — these retreats are here to hold you. To remind you that your story matters. That you matter. Come exactly as you are. Leave with a full heart, new friends, and a renewed connection to the wild within.

Because you deserve to be seen, held, and wildly inspired.

No stiff poses. No weird prompts. Just the real stuff: how you hold each other, how you laugh together, how your love feels on the inside.

We'll chase golden light and document the in-between moments that matter most.

This isn’t about perfect poses or forced smiles. It’s about muddy toes, windblown hair, arms wrapped tight, and the way your kiddo looks at you when they feel safe and seen. These sessions are playful, connected, and full of movement , just like your wild, wonderful life.

Let’s bottle up your real and keep it forever.
