Sedona Retreat Photographer
Capturing Transformation in Red Rock Country
Professional Retreat Photography for Sedona's Wellness & Healing Community
“Shalista is absolutely incredible! She joined me at my women’s retreat in Sedona, Arizona, and captured the most beautiful moments and memories. She was such a joy to work with—kind, easygoing, professional, and so much fun!
Not only did she take amazing photos, but she came along on our adventures to capture the spirit and vibe of the retreat in such a natural and authentic way. She was so much fun, made everyone feel comfortable, and half the time we hardly even noticed she was taking photos—which made the candid shots even more special.
She is literally a gem! The images she captured tell the story of the retreat perfectly, and I’m so grateful to have them for both personal memories and future marketing. She also took the time to shoot a few specific brand photos for me, which I absolutely love.”
— Chrystal - Wildly You Adventure Retreat

Professional Retreat Photography for Sedona's Wellness & Healing Community
Sedona isn't just another destination. It's where people come to transform. To heal. To reconnect. To create. And your retreat deserves photography that captures that magic.
I'm Shalista, and I've spent over 20 years photographing moments that matter. When you bring your retreat participants to Sedona's red rocks, you're offering them more than just a getaway. You're creating an experience they'll treasure forever. My retreat photography ensures they have images as powerful as the memories.
Why Hire a Professional Sedona Retreat Photographer?
Look, everyone has a smartphone. But here's what you're really paying for:
Knowledge of Sedona's best locations and lighting: I know when golden hour hits Bell Rock. Which vortex sites photograph best at what time of day. Where to avoid crowds. Secret spots that make your retreat photos look like something out of a magazine.
Understanding retreat dynamics: Twenty years of experience means I know how to be present without being intrusive. When to photograph and when to put the camera down. How to capture vulnerability with respect.
Professional equipment for Sedona's challenging conditions: Bright red rocks, harsh midday sun, low-light indoor sessions. I have the gear and expertise to make everything look incredible.
Quick turnaround for marketing: You need photos for your website, social media, and next retreat's promotional materials. I deliver high-resolution images fast so you can start marketing while the energy is still fresh.
Sedona Retreat Venues I Know Well
From luxury Sedona resorts to intimate retreat centers, I've photographed wellness experiences across Sedona and the surrounding red rock areas:
Sedona resort and spa retreat centers
Private red rock estate properties
Outdoor vortex sites throughout Sedona
Sedona yoga studios and wellness centers
Oak Creek Canyon retreat locations
Village of Oak Creek venues
West Sedona creative spaces
Every Sedona location has its own vibe and photographic opportunities. I'll work with your retreat schedule and venues to capture the full experience.
Sedona Corporate Retreat Photography Too
Bringing your team to Sedona for a corporate retreat or executive planning session? The red rocks create a different energy than your typical conference room. I photograph corporate retreats in Sedona that showcase both the professional development and the team bonding that happens in this transformative environment.
Investment in Your Sedona Retreat Photography
Every retreat is different. A weekend women's wellness retreat needs different coverage than a week-long artist immersion or a corporate leadership retreat in Sedona.
Let's talk about your retreat vision, participant count, locations, and what matters most in your documentation. I'll create a photography package that fits your Sedona retreat experience.

Hello!Yoga Retreats Among the Red Rocks
There's something about practicing yoga with Cathedral Rock as your backdrop. The energy. The stillness. The way the light hits the rocks during sunrise savasana.
I photograph yoga retreats in Sedona that capture both the practice and the profound moments between poses. The tears during meditation. The laughter during partner work. The quiet contemplation as the sun sets over Bell Rock.
Sedona yoga retreat photography includes:
Outdoor yoga sessions at iconic Sedona locations
Indoor studio practice and workshops
Meditation and breathwork sessions
Group photos at vortex sites
Individual participant portraits with red rock backgrounds
Candid moments of connection and transformation
Whether your retreat is at a Sedona resort, a private red rock property, or multiple outdoor locations around Sedona, I know the best times and spots for stunning retreat photography.
Women's Retreat Photographer Sedona
Safe Space Photography for Women's Healing Journeys
Women's retreats in Sedona are sacred. They're about sisterhood, vulnerability, healing, and empowerment. As a woman photographer who has specialized in empowering women for over two decades (including 2,000+ boudoir sessions focused on confidence building), I understand the trust required.
I create a comfortable environment where participants can be authentic, emotional, and fully present without worrying about how they look on camera.
Sedona women's retreat experiences I photograph:
Circle gatherings and sharing sessions
Energy healing and Reiki practices
Sound bath experiences
Creative expression workshops
Nature walks and red rock hikes
Sisterhood bonding moments
Personal transformation portraits
My approach is discreet, respectful, and focused on capturing the emotional journey, not just the activities.
Sedona Energy Healing & Spiritual Retreat Photography
Documenting the Invisible Moments
Energy healing sessions. Vortex experiences. Shamanic journeys. These aren't easy to photograph. But after working in Sedona's spiritual community, I've learned how to capture the essence of these transformative practices.
Sedona spiritual retreat photography:
Vortex site visits (Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, Airport Mesa, Boynton Canyon)
Energy healing and bodywork sessions
Sound healing and crystal bowl ceremonies
Fire ceremonies and ritual gatherings
Medicine wheel experiences
Sunrise and sunset intention settings
Individual energy portraits at sacred Sedona sites
I work quietly and intuitively, reading the energy of the space and knowing when to photograph and when to simply hold space.

“Absolutely fantastic! From the minute I walked in the door she made me feel comfortable and so excited to be there. Her hair and makeup woman was great and made me look and feel so beautiful. My session was so much fun and flew by. At the reveal I was so amazed at the way she posed and lit me to look my best. Loved the photos and the whole experience! I couldn't recommend Shalista more to anyone considering a session.”
