Where Should We Go Next?

From wildlife encounters to remarkable landscapes, every Experience offers something different. I keep my groups small so we can spend our time photographing, learning, and making the most of the opportunities nature gives us.

Take a look at what's coming up. I'd love to have you join me.

A Little About Me—and Why I Love Doing This

Photography has taken me to some pretty incredible places, and I've been fortunate to experience moments I'll never forget. But some of my favorite memories come from sharing those experiences with other people.

I love helping photographers recognize the light, anticipate what's about to happen, and make better decisions with their cameras. And when someone suddenly sees something they hadn't noticed before? That's one of my favorite parts of teaching.

My approach is personal, relaxed, and hands-on. We'll talk photography, work through challenges, share ideas, and hopefully laugh quite a bit along the way.

I want you to come home with photographs you're proud of. Just as importantly, I want you to come home feeling that the entire experience was something special.

It Starts Long Before We Pick Up Our Cameras

For me, a photography workshop isn't just about what happens during the days we're together. The preparation, communication, shared experiences, and opportunities to reconnect afterward all matter.

That's why I put so much thought into the experience from beginning to end.

Before We Go

Once you've registered, I want you to feel prepared and excited about what's ahead. You'll receive the information you need for your particular workshop or tour, and we'll make sure you know what to expect before we meet in the field.

While We're Together

This is where the fun really begins! We'll spend our time photographing, exploring, learning, and adapting to whatever nature gives us. I'll be right there helping you recognize opportunities, work through challenges, and make the most of your photography.

After We Return

The photographs and memories don't stop mattering when everyone gets home. Depending on the Experience, our follow-up may include sharing images, reviewing photographs, additional resources, or getting together again for a reunion.

Each workshop or tour clearly explains what's included, so you'll know what to expect.

There's More Than One Way We Can Work Together

Whether we've met at a photography presentation, spent time together in the field, or you're just discovering my work, there are several ways we can connect.

Experiences

Photography Workshops & Tours

Join me in the field for small-group photographic adventures, personal instruction, and incredible opportunities to explore the natural world.

Speaking

Speaking & Education

I love sharing what I've learned with photography clubs, festivals, and organizations. My presentations are filled with photographs, stories, and practical ideas photographers can put to use.

Mentorship

Personal Mentorship

Sometimes the best next step is spending time together looking at your photographs and working through the things you want to improve. I offer individual mentorship over Zoom and in the field.

Fine art

Fine Art Photography

My photography is also available to explore, collect, and enjoy. Browse photographs from wildlife encounters, landscapes, and the many moments that have stayed with me over the years.

Every Photograph Has a Story

Sometimes the photograph is only a small part of what makes an experience memorable.

It's the unexpected encounter. The anticipation. The changing light. The moment everyone stops talking because something extraordinary is happening right in front of us.

I love sharing those stories, along with the photographs and lessons that come from spending time in nature.

Stay connected

Let's Stay in Touch

Whether we've photographed together, met at a presentation, or you're simply interested in what's coming next, I'd love to stay connected.

I'll share upcoming workshop dates, photographs and stories from the field, and occasional photography tips and ideas.

I'd Love to See You Out There.

If you've been thinking about joining a photography workshop or adventure, take a look at where we're heading next.

And if you have questions about a destination, the pace of a workshop, or whether an Experience is right for you, just ask. I'm always happy to talk photography.
