2023 SSG Destinations...Banff, Canada
Wanderlust..."A strong desire or urge to travel and explore the world."
Senior Style Guide + Brooke Daniels Photography have ventured to the tropical oasis of Isle of Palms, the fashion-forward city of lights in NYC twice, and the majestic country of Iceland, hit the ranch in Montana and soaked up the rays in Aruba. Criss-crossing the globe to make sure each location is as exciting and unique as the last.
We have received lots of feedback from both High School Senior Photographers and Tween/Teen Photographers about what Destination YOU want next. The trend in senior portraits and tween/teen portraits is leading toward an natural, earthy, organic feel that is surrounded by the beauty of nature with a free-spirited authentic vibe. We have searched the map high and low to bring you the most picturesque and dreamy location with a model team to blow your mind!

This September, we invite you to join us for our 8th Destination Experience as we head to Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park! We will be staying at the beautiful Emerald Lake Lodge. Our base hotel is one hour away from Banff and nestled in between Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. The date for this event is Saturday September 23rd with Sunday September 24th reserved as a rain date. We recommend you arrive Friday and fly out on Monday. This is our first time ever hosting a destination event in the fall instead of the summer because we want you to be able to capture the beautiful fall foliage and enjoy cooler autumn temps.
This is going to be an adventure that you do not want to miss! And for the first time ever…every photographer who registers before February 28th, will have the chance to potentially bring one of their own top models (full details provided upon signup.) We have a professional hair and makeup team onsite to carefully execute Brooke's concept and styling. Models have multiple wardrobe changes as we rotate through several different locations and background settings. We have the lowest photographer to model ratio in the industry because we want to create an intimate environment where each photographer has plenty of time shooting each model. This is not a huge shootout where photographers have to shoot between bodies or are rushed to get the image. You will usually be paired up in a small group and can work with the models individually to get just the pose and look that fits your own brand and aesthetic.
Our attendees will be staying at Emerald Lake Lodge a little over an hour outside of Banff. This property sits on a 13 acre peninsula complete with 24 cabin like buildings. There is a hot tub off of the main lodge which is perfect for all of us to hang out and relax while taking in this incredible view of the property.

Attendees will receive several double page spreads of their work published in print! Talk about the icing on the cake which gives you some major bragging rights and street cred with your potential clients! Some photographers choose to travel solo and room up with another photographer and others love to bring their significant other or entire family along and make a full vacation out of the trip! As a previous Alumni said, "SSG + BDP Destination Adventure was the absolute best family vacation, boost for my business and tax write off I've ever experienced!”
Once you are registered, you'll be added to a private FB group where all of the planning, logistics and details will take place with your soon-to-be new best friends and travel buddies! If you love adventure, exploring uncharted territories, capturing true beauty, and pushing yourself artistically, then this experience is for you, my dear! Seats are very limited and all of our previous Destinations have SOLD OUT.
We look forward to sharing this adventure with you!
xoxo,
Vickie + Brooke
