Curated Luxury Photography Experiences
Viva La Josie Events brings together prime destinations, top models, and master photographers to create imagery that endures.

Our Story
Viva La Josie Events was founded on a simple belief: that the most enduring images are born when the right place, the right people, and the right moment converge.
We don't organize photo shoots. We orchestrate moments where light, place, and presence align — and the extraordinary becomes inevitable.
Viva La Josie Events began with a vision shared by a small collective of photographers, stylists, and creative directors: that the best imagery is never accidental. It is curated. It is hosted. It is the product of an environment where every element — the location, the talent, the light, the hospitality — has been chosen with intention.
From that vision grew a new kind of photography experience. Not a workshop, not a tour, not a convention — but a fully hosted creative retreat where prime locations, top professional models, and master photographers come together for a few concentrated days of pure creation. Every detail is handled, so the only thing left to do is make pictures.
Today, Viva La Josie Events curates a small, select calendar of all-inclusive experiences each year — from the sun-washed shores of Key West to the neon-lit streets of Nashville and beyond. Each is a finite, intimate gathering, designed for photographers who are serious about their craft and ready to be elevated by it.
What Sets Us Apart
We choose destinations for their light, their character, and their singular beauty — places that refuse to be ordinary and reward those who linger through the golden hour.
We work with curated professional talent who bring editorial presence, range, and a genuine collaborative spirit to every frame — talent that elevates the work of everyone in the room.
Our mentors are seasoned image-makers who guide, challenge, and inspire — turning each shoot into a real creative exchange rather than a passive demonstration.
Our Values
Every location, model, and mentor is hand-selected. Nothing about a Viva La Josie event is incidental — each piece is chosen to serve the whole.
Lodging, dining, logistics, and access are all-inclusive. You arrive with your camera and your vision; we handle the rest.
We keep every gathering small and finite. Quality over scale means more access, more mentorship, and more meaningful frames.
Our work is elegant and refined — sophisticated imagery that celebrates craft, place, and presence without compromise.
