Arizona Western Photography Retreat
October 9th - 11th
Join us for an intimate photography retreat at a beautifully restored historic guest ranch tucked away in the Rincon Mountains, approximately one hour east of Tucson, Arizona. Surrounded by stunning desert landscapes, horses, cattle, historic adobe architecture, antique-filled interiors, and expansive mountain views, this retreat is designed to inspire creativity while fostering connection with fellow photographers.
Unlike large workshops, attendance is intentionally limited to create a relaxed, collaborative atmosphere with plenty of shooting time at each styled session. Throughout the retreat, you'll photograph multiple professionally styled setups featuring western-inspired couples, individual models, horses, and authentic ranch scenery.
Whether you're looking to expand your portfolio, meet other creatives, or simply spend a weekend immersed in photography, this retreat is designed to provide a unique Arizona experience both behind and away from the camera.

Geminid Meteor Shower Night
December 13th–14th, 2026
Spend a magical night beneath the dark skies of the Rincon Mountains during the peak of the Geminid meteor shower—one of the most spectacular meteor showers of the year.
Far from the lights of Tucson, our historic guest ranch offers an incredible setting to slow down, look up, and experience the night sky the way it was meant to be seen. Settle in for an evening of stargazing, astronomy, warm drinks, good food, and time around the fire before retreating to your room for the night.
The experience will be centered around the Geminid meteor shower, with an astronomer guiding guests through the night sky and sharing more about the meteors, stars, planets, and constellations visible overhead.
Attendance will be intentionally limited to preserve the quiet, uncrowded atmosphere and give everyone plenty of space to enjoy the night sky.

A Note About Stargazing
Astronomy is dependent on Mother Nature. While December 13th is selected to coincide with the peak of the Geminid meteor shower, clear skies and the number of visible meteors cannot be guaranteed. The event will still take place in the event of less-than-ideal viewing conditions, with the evening's programming adjusted as needed.
