MONTRÉAL 2025!


MONTRÉAL!

Friends, Montréal details are here! Set in one of Canada's most vibrant cities, we've poured much love into this inaugural Photo Art Tour and are giddy to finally share it with you.

•OCTOBER 8-13, 2025•

Imagine fall in Montréal: golden leaves blanket the sidewalks and the air is so wonderfully crisp you can practically taste it. Café windows fog up with their warmth and the city pulses with stories waiting to be told. Designed for women in their 40s and 50s, this street photography tour invites you to slow down, to explore with intention, and distill real life through your lens.

We’ll be based in Rosemont, a cozy, creative neighborhood close to bike paths, bakeries, and colorful, spirited market life. From there, we’ll wander through Montréal’s most photogenic corners: Petite Italie (Little Italy), Mile End, the Plateau, Mount Royal, Downtown, and Old Montréal.

Expect bike rides down tree-lined streets, curated food tastings, studio visits with local creatives, and quiet time to recharge. You'll be guided throughout by Bobby, who was raised in Montréal and brings a personal connection to the city’s neighborhoods, cafés, and creative spaces.

Throughout the week, we’ll host two street photography workshops (timed to different light and locations), a visual journaling and zine-making session, and guided photo walks-- including one alongside a local Montréal-based guest photographer. You’ll also visit a major street photography museum exhibit, two local artist studios, and enjoy a visit to an especially unique Nordic-style spa.

Montréal’s culinary culture is a big part of this experience. You’ll enjoy curated food stops and casual tastings selected with love-- from old-school bakeries to multicultural gems. Bobby brings her past experience leading food tours to shape a flavorful and flexible experience that honors the spirit of this extraordinary city.

We’ll gather for three group dinners-- including a welcome and closing dinner-- and leave two evenings open for you to explore the city’s food scene at your own pace. Our final night together will be for shared stories, photographs, and deeper connection.
