SSG Destinations...Pack Your Bags

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, the majestic country of Iceland, enjoyed the Big Sky Country of West Yellowstone Montana, explored the desert and beaches of Aruba and ventured to the charming town of Dahlonega, GA. Each year, criss-crossing the globe to make sure every location is as exciting and unique as the last. We received lots of feedback from both High School Senior Photographers about what Destination YOU want next. The trend in senior portraits and engagement/bridal portraits is leading toward an natural, earthy, organic feel that is surrounded by the beauty of nature and our next destination gives you just that. Plus, an exotic desert local that will leave you counting the days to explore on our next adventure!

Our destination announcements are always an exciting time for Brooke and me. We have combined our love of travel, adventure and teaching because we have met some lifelong friends over the years. We spend countless hours pouring over locations and carefully deciding what will be the next big adventure. These events fuel our creative hearts and souls in ways you cannot imagine. It is no secret that this destination has been difficult to choose. Especially with the pandemic hindering some locations we have on our bucket list. We actually have a few destinations currently in the works! But since we could only be in one place at a time, we stepped back and made a list of things from past destinations that we loved. One of the most important factors was for everyone to be together at a base camp. We had this luxury at our some of our past destinations in Montana and Aruba and it was amazing. It was one big family reunion and we were all together having the creative time of our lives. Brooke and I loved the idea of finding an intimate venue to encourage more photographers to bring their families for a vacay or a romantic getaway with their significant other. Affordability, diversity of the locations, consistently glorious weather and travel accessibility were also high on the list. Those are a lot of things to ask for but our next destination has provided all of them! So here we go again! Brooke and I are ready to jet off to our 8th SSG + BDP Destination together! So dust off your luggage, pack your favorite sunhat and read on!

Early summer 2022 we will be traveling to the picture perfect landscape of Joshua Tree! Yes you read that right…Joshua Tree! I can't wait to see how Brooke styles this event. If you have sat on the sidelines wishing you could go to one or all of our last eight SOLD OUT destination events, now is the time.

Details...Registration opens Wednesday January 19th.Full Shooting Day is Monday June 20th. 2022. We will shoot for 7 hours with a team of experienced teen (male and female) models with pro hair & makeup, professionally styled to Brooke’s exceptional taste to give your cameras a workout! We are well-known in the industry to have the lowest photographer to model ratio, which is usually 1:1, so you will never have to wait in line to shoot and will be overloaded with a plethora of stunning models to take your portfolio to the next level! This is going to be such an amazing adventure for our attendees!

We will be photographing at the picturesque Castle House Estates! (You of course can stay at other options in the Joshua Tree area but this is the place you want to be! Here is a Trip Advisor Link to other options HERE.)This will also be home base where Brooke and I will be staying and we hope you will be joining us there as well. Joshua Tree is a gorgeous destination so get ready! If you are not familiar with Castle House Estates, it is the ULTIMATE Glamping Experience! This info from their website perfectly sums up the location…

Another thing that sets SSG + BDP Destinations apart, is that every single one of our attendees gets to walk away with way more than just memory cards full of gorgeous images, hands-on priceless education, and lifelong friendships... but also at least TWO DOUBLE PAGE SPREADS of YOUR own images taken at the shoot in a special edition printed magazine publication! Can you say major bragging rights and street cred that will impress the socks off your potential clients and set YOU apart from your competition!
