Hi, I’m Carlie Oakenshield, a photographer, creative entrepreneur, and retreat enthusiast!

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of hosting and attending several retreats, and I’ve experienced firsthand the power of the deep connections, relaxation, and lifelong friendships they foster.

But I wanted to create something unique—where the productivity of a photography workshop or mastermind meets the inspiration and rejuvenation of a retreat.

At Lens Launch, we blend hands-on learning, brand-building, and business strategies with time to unwind and connect with like-minded photographers. It’s all about creating a space to grow, both professionally and personally.

The retreat vibe is chill, no-fuss, and definitely Pura Vida. Welcome to our team of professional creatives.
