The Rise Content Retreat was a curated, multi-day experience designed to empower photographers with the tools, inspiration, and content needed to elevate their portfolios and confidently attract dream clients. Held in Guadalajara, Mexico, the retreat brought together a group of creatives for a weekend of purposeful connection, creative exploration, and hands-on learning.

As Event Coordinator and Creative Producer for this inaugural edition, the role involved overseeing all logistical and creative aspects of the experience. From the initial planning stages to on-site execution, every detail was carefully managed to ensure it reflected the heart of the Rise brand — intentional, elevated, and community-centered.

The retreat featured six highly curated editorial-style photo sessions, a portfolio masterclass led by photographer and educator Camila Urrea, Q&A roundtables, and collaborative workshops on directing, storytelling, and visual identity. Styling and creative direction were brought to life by Renata Bricio, with art production by Studio Salamandra, and a talented roster of collaborators across the board.

The immersive experience was supported by standout sponsors including Siete Leguas Tequila, Come Verde, Huizapol Chilitosirilo, Grupo Multiprana, and Embotelladora AGA — all of whom helped enrich the retreat’s atmosphere and participant experience.

Rise Content Retreat wasn’t just about creating beautiful content — it was about building a space where photographers could push creative boundaries, connect authentically, and walk away with a renewed sense of direction and confidence in their craft.
