Black Friday Adventures for Dreamers: My 2026 Fantasy Photography Offers Unlock Magic, Confidence & Connection

What if the best gift you could give yourself this season wasn’t a product... but a doorway back to your imagination?

Let me guess: your calendar is exploding, your favorite mugs are full of more tasks than tea, and time for yourself feels like a luxury straight out of a fairy tale.
I get it.
This time of year, we’re all sprinting between obligations, trying to find meaning amid “SALE! SALE! SALE!”

But what if play was the medicine you’ve been craving?

This year, I’m inviting you to do something a little different.
Something delightfully impractical that just might be the most practical thing you can do for your soul.

Think castles in the mountains, mermaid tail swishes in Florida springs, and cinematic portraits that feel like stills from the adventure movie of your life.
Whether you’re booking solo or with friends, my 2026 fantasy photography experiences were crafted with magic-makers, mystical wanderers, and brave-hearted dreamers in mind
(yes, that includes you, even if you’re still working on calling yourself “photogenic”).

Let’s explore what’s coming, and how to claim your spot during Black Friday + Small Biz Saturday!

Setting the Scene for Something Magical

If you’ve ever whispered “I wish I could look like that,” or “I’ve always wanted to try something like this, but...,” then this blog is for you.

At Fins and Fairies Fantasy Photography, creating empowering, imagination-first portrait experiences isn’t just my job - it’s my passion.
I don’t believe you need to look a certain way to deserve beautiful art of yourself.
You don’t need to be a professional mermaid, a model, or even sure of yourself.
I’ve seen people bloom during their sessions - laughter, saltwater, fairy wings, and all.

So if you're sitting on a dream that feels “too extra” or you're worried it won't be taken seriously... welcome.
These fantasy photo adventures are serious about playful expression and deeply intentional storytelling.

And with very limited availability (like, mythical-creature-rare), now’s the time to step through the wardrobe.

Dream Destinations for 2026: Join Me On Location

Wish your fantasy experience had the kind of backdrop that makes your heart skip?
I’ve got three luxurious, immersive locations lined up for 2026.
Each one is not only dreamy but designed to help you reconnect with wonder, creativity, and yourself.

🌊 January: “Springs Getaway” in Florida

• Co-hosted with the incredible Kat Murphy from Crafted Depths Photography

• Underwater sessions in Fanning and Rainbow Springs (yes, that water really is crystal-clear)

• Fairy-tale dry-land portraits in magical corners of the Crystal River area

• Optional all-inclusive packages (including Airbnb, art, and a manatee tour!)

This is your time to unplug, float effortlessly in spring-fed waters, and feel like the mystical being you’ve always seen in your mind’s eye.

🐚 Late September: California Coastal Magic with Mermaid Kalynn

• Co-hosted by the awe-inspiring Mermaid Kalynn

• Sunrise mermaid sessions on Malibu beaches

• Underwater sessions in a private heated pool and in Catalina Island’s shimmering kelp forests

• Horse-assisted sessions on the golden coast (yes, actual horses!)

• Plus: Kalynn’s amazing local food recs, mini-sessions in Laguna Beach, and private beach access

This isn’t just a photo shoot - it’s a multi-day, full-soul creative pilgrimage for anyone craving cinematic scenery, deep expression, and sisterhood-level support.

🍄 October: Mad Hatter Cottage Retreat in Georgia

The Mad Hatter Cottage is a gorgeous and beloved Airbnb, but it’s also cozy - just two beds for our group.
This means we’ll be sharing close living space (and likely beds),
making this retreat ideal for those who are comfortable with a snuggly,
slumber-party style getaway and open to an intimate, communal experience.

• Held in Mineral Bluff, GA

• Only three spots available

• Portrait sessions at waterfalls, hidden mountain corners, and in whimsical nooks of our storybook cottage

• No rushing. No distractions. Just forest whispers, creative flow, and abundant self-celebration

This one’s for the souls who want to reclaim a sense of calm creation -
especially if everyday life feels too loud and fast to hear your own dreams.

Why This Isn’t “Just” a Sale

Let’s be real - there will always be deals out there every November.
But what I’m offering isn’t fast-fashion or impulse-buy energy. It’s a portal.

These sessions are about saying yes to your creativity.

Yes to embodiment.

Yes to being seen - fully and unapologetically.

If you’ve been craving a confidence photo session or an artistic way to reconnect with your childhood magic, this is your moment.
Fantasy isn’t some silly indulgence.
It’s a way back to your truth - the one that doesn’t need makeup or credentials to be powerful.

And if you’re whispering, “But what if I can’t afford it?” - breathe.
Payment plans are available, because I deeply believe this work should be accessible.
We can build the magic slowly, together.

Ready to Book a Fantasy Photography Experience?

Here’s what to do next:

• Visit the Fins and Fairies website to explore upcoming sessions and travel dates

• Message me directly to grab one of the extremely limited Black Friday or Small Business Saturday spots

• Ask about artwork bundles and payment plan options, especially for travel sessions or all-inclusive getaways (it’s easier than you think)

Let’s create something unforgettable.
Whether you're diving into the springs, posing like a siren at sunrise,
or twirling through a forest clearing in tulle,
I’ll be right there with a camera and a heart ready to cheer you on.

Remember: you don’t need to “look the part” or have everything perfect.

You just need to say yes.

Your magic deserves to be witnessed.

Come play 💫
