invitation from léanne

My dear friends,

I am beyond thrilled to propose to you a trip together this late Spring! For a while now, I’ve been wanting to meet you in person and share with you my passion for creating, history, culture, love, and art. May this serve to you as a special personal invitation to join.

I am planning a trip to one of my favorite countries, Italy! What is more beautiful than a sunrise in Tuscany with its’ hills covered in dew…I don’t know. This trip will be filled with genuine love and care. I’ve worked with the team to make this the dream trip that I have always wanted! Get ready for historical tours, cooking & art classes, farm to table lunch & dinners, movie nights, and so much more…

If you are interested, you can expect some creative workshops hosted by moi where I will show you some tips on how I prepare and shoot! We even requested a beautiful fiat 500 for some extra fun.

I hope to see you there…and create overlasting memories and genuine connections with all of you <3. I believe this retreat will be an unforgettable experience that will leave you feeling complete and living more present. There are limited spots available so be sure to sign up as soon as you can.

Bisous,

Léanne
