The Photos
Can you imagine yourself looking & feeling powerful in the water of a glacier lagoon? Or in some of the biggest, most awe inspiring waterfalls in the world? I can’t wait to make this happen for you. These will be the photos you admire of yourself when you need a reminder of who the hell you are.

The Sightseeing
I will take you to my favorite iconic Iceland spots around the south of the island, including the icebergs, black sand beaches, glaciers, waterfalls, and basalt columns. You’ll also get to see adorable free-roaming sheep & Iceland horses! The landscape is like nothing else on earth.

The Friendship
Traveling with likeminded women, while baring your soul (AND BODY!) is transformative. You will leave Iceland feeling more at home in your skin, and a better perspective on loving yourself. We will journal together, have meals together, and of course support one another during photoshoots.
The Details:
Dates: May 27th to 30th. 4 full days, and 3 nights
Where: South Iceland (leaving from & returning to Reykjavik)
Cost: $5400 May be split into 3 payments of $1800, with the 1st due at booking, 2nd due March 1st, and the 3rd due May 1st. Only 5 attendees (2 spots remaining).
Photoshoots: • 4 photoshoot opportunities in different locations with Tamara are included. • Hair & makeup is not included & is not needed. • 25 Retouched High Resolution Digital Images & One 16x20 wall art print are included. • Some flowing dresses, robes, and fabrics will be brought by Tamara. Lingerie will not be photographed • Please note, privacy won’t be possible within our group, but we will do our best to avoid tourists by starting early in the morning.
Lodging: Included for 3 nights in private rooms. The first 2 nights will be at Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon, and the 3rd night will be at Hotel Vík.
Meals: Breakfast is included at each hotel. Lunch, dinner, and snacks will be the responsibility of each attendee. The restaurants for dinner are fantastic and we will have reservations together each night!
Transportation: Tamara will drive an 8-person passenger van to carry the attendees from Reykjavik to the hotels and locations. You are responsible for your flight and any taxis needed before the group meets up.
Need to know: On the 27th we will meet in Reykjavik at 8:30am to drive the 4.5 hours to our hotel. It is highly recommended to book a flight departing the states the evening of the 25th, arriving the morning of the 26th so you can rest for a day and adjust your sleep schedule. We will arrive back to Reykjavik on the 30th around 2pm. Flights out that evening are possible.

There is a reason that this will be my 5th visit to Iceland since 2019…. It is incredible! The landscapes are stunning at every turn, and there is something very special about spending time in quiet, secluded nature. I come back home after every trip feeling peaceful and renewed. Iceland is good for the soul, even when it is raining sideways. Last year, when I took a group of female photographers for my “Rewilding Retreat”, we all felt completely transformed by our last day. We got to bond, cheer each other on, and get vulnerable with one another. If you’re ready for an epic trip, and have thought about coming to Iceland with me for jaw dropping photos, the time is now! In 2026 I will be taking a break from Iceland to explore other areas of the world. I hope to share this experience with you! When you’re ready to reserve your spot, let me know via text at 214-789-9383 or email at info@tamarapaskeyalexander.com and I can send you an online invoice.
F.A.Q.
Q: How cold will it be? A: The weather varies but it is Iceland so it will be a bit chilly. In late May the weather is often pretty mild with temperatures between 39 and 50 degrees. We will most likely have a combination of rain and sun. I will provide a packing list so you can order what you need to stay warm and comfortable. For your photos, we will plan our poses ahead of time, and I will shoot fast! Conquering mind over matter will make you feel powerful after you’ve posed in the cold.
Q: Is there any shopping along the way? A: There is a large store in Vik that has outdoor wear, Icelandic wool sweaters, souvenirs, etc.
Q: Can I bring my spouse? A: While you cannot bring them on our women’s retreat, you can always go to Iceland early or stay a few days after the retreat! Iceland is amazing to explore with your other half.
Q: Is Iceland Safe? A: Iceland is one of the safest countries in the world. The people are very kind.
Q: Do I need to convert my money or learn Icelandic? A: Everywhere accepts credit cards, so you do not need to exchange large amounts of money. If you want to have $100 USD equivalent to Icelandic Krona, you can either order it at your bank, or use an ATM in Iceland. For language, everyone speaks great English! Icelandic is very hard to learn and not expected by locals.
Q: Do I need travel insurance? A: YES! I always recommend it. I use CHUBB for travel insurance. Their options are the most comprehensive and reputable.
Q: What if I get sick before I go? Will I get a refund? A: The fee is nonrefundable so I recommend getting travel insurance that covers events, excursions, retreats, etc.
Q: What if I get sick while I’m there? A: We will get you to a doctor asap. Hospitals are only in the bigger cities, but local doctors are usually within an hour drive of where we will be. (no one I’ve traveled with to Iceland has ever had a problem)
