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.

Colorado 2026

june 4th - 7th, 2026
western slope


Colorado's western slope, nestled in the majestic San Juan Mountains, is a photographer's paradise where rugged peaks pierce the sky and ancient mining towns whisper stories of the past. In Ouray, known as the Switzerland of America, you'll find hot springs bubbling amid dramatic canyons, perfect for capturing that raw, alpine glow during golden hour. Venture to Silverton for its Victorian charm and wildflower meadows, or Durango for scenic train rides through pine forests and river valleys. It's the kind of place that makes you breathe deeper and dream bigger.

We're off to the Evergreen State!

Our photography retreat in Washington promises an unforgettable experience for elopement enthusiasts. We will immerse ourselves in the rugged Pacific Northwest culture, embark on a thrilling excursion though Olympic National Park (including the enchanting Hoh Rain Forest with its moss-draped trees, lush trails, and serene rivers), maybe spot an orca or elk along Ruby Beach's dramatic shores, and take in the breathtaking coastal views. Together, we will create and capture a collection of incredible moments.

The Isle of Skye in Scotland is a wild-hearted dream where rugged cliffs plunge into misty lochs, ancient castles whisper legends, and fairy pools sparkle like hidden gems. Imagine capturing elopements amid heather covered hills, with the wind carrying your laughter through dramatic landscapes that feel straight out of a fairy tale. It's the kind of place that reignites your soul, forging connections with fellow creatives who become family.

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.

The kind of photos you can feel
soft, sacred, and a little untamed.

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 is your sign to stay wild

+ stay in the loop.

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.

Families & little ones

What memories do you want to keep

Where the real moments live.

Dan is literally THE MAN. Chef, seam-ster, stylist, chauffeur, comedian, personal bodyguard and a phenomenal photographer. Kena is literally THE BEST. A creative genius, a loving mother hen, the sweetest soul and truly a magician behind the lens.
