The Glam Escape - Costa Rica

A Luxury Editorial Photoshoot Retreat for Women

Welcoming Women, Creatives, Models, and Photographers Seeking a Unique Experience and Portfolio Content in Costa Rica

♥ Signature Retreat Keepsake ♥ Your Experience, Beautifully Preserved.

  

  After the success of previous editions, The Glam Escape returns to Costa Rica for an intimate, carefully curated experience designed for women, creatives, and photographers seeking more than just a vacation - and more than just a photoshoot.

  Imagine five days in a private luxury villa surrounded by tropical landscapes, warm ocean air, and golden sunsets… where every detail is thoughtfully arranged so you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and immerse yourself in creativity, connection, and unforgettable experiences.

  Hosted by Obsidian Boudoir and Fly Free Photography, The Glam Escape blends luxury travel, meaningful connection, and editorial-style imagery into one inspiring journey.

  Whether you’re joining to experience yourself differently, expand your portfolio, collaborate creatively, or simply step away from everyday life for something meaningful - this retreat is designed to leave you with memories, connections, and imagery you will carry long after Costa Rica.

  Participation is intentionally limited to a small group to preserve the intimate and personalized nature of the experience.

Your Experience Includes

Luxury Villa Stay

  Four nights in a stunning private Costa Rican villa (some shared accommodations), offering a relaxed and intimate atmosphere designed for comfort, connection, and inspiration. 

Editorial Glamour, Swimwear & Boudoir Photoshoots

  A series of professionally guided photo sessions with the retreat’s two hosting photographers, created across curated locations and natural light settings. (Additional creatives and photographers may also participate throughout the experience).

  • FOUR photoshoot experiences across the retreat

  • 3-4 styled looks per session

  • 25–30 professionally edited high-resolution images from each session

  • EXCLUISVE - Wrapped Image Folios, featuring your three most favorite images. 

  Unlike a traditional single photoshoot, this experience allows you to grow into the camera over several days - creating imagery that evolves naturally with your confidence. 
  All guaranteed edited images included with The Glam Escape are  photographed and delivered by the retreat’s hosting photographers, Obsidian Boudoir and Fly Free Photography.

  Like mentioned, additional collaborations and creative opportunities with participating photographers or creatives may naturally happen throughout the retreat; however, image delivery, editing, and timelines from other attendees cannot be guaranteed and remain entirely at their discretion.

Private Chef Dining Experience

  Chef-prepared breakfasts and shared evening dinners on November 27–29, enjoyed together at the villa.
(Set menu, cannot accommodate food allergies)

Welcome & Orientation Evening

  Arrival day includes group transportation from Liberia International Airport (LIR), a relaxed orientation, and a welcome dinner at a local restaurant, to begin the experience together.

Curated Schedule with Time to Breathe

  Photoshoots take place during the most beautiful morning and sunset light on November 27 and 29.

  November 28 is intentionally left open - enjoy the pool, beach, local shopping, or join an optional group excursion (details announced closer to the retreat).

Airport Transportation

  Group transfers to and from Liberia International Airport (LIR) on November 26 and November 30.
