Our approach
We focus on:
Simple Learning
Fun
Making Great Photos at Amazing locations
Excitement is in the air as we work out the details of our upcoming workshops.
After experiencing a number of workshops and conducting tours for the past few years, I'm putting what I've learned into making these the most rewarding and fun trips you'll find. Everyone is equal in my workshops; we don't tolerate arrogance. Whether a novice or expert, each photographer will receive a personalized level of coaching to make the best photos on these exciting adventures. These trips are all inclusive-- transportation, lodging, and most meals are included. Non-photography activities are available on some trips for significant others who want to join in the adventure.
Fall in the Columbia Gorge

The waterfalls in Oregon's Columbia Gorge are stunning any time of year and offer many opportunities to learn how to create gorgeous photos of the flowing water. The autumn colors make for extraordinary photos beyond the typical pictures of these waterfalls with the added bonus that there aren't crowds in the fall.

The Great Sandhill Crane Migration
Over 1/2 Million Birds
Roosting on the Platte River and Dancing in the Daylight
March 18th to 24th 2024
When Jane Goodall declares the Sandhill Crane Migration on the Platt River in Nebraska, "the Greatest animal migration in North America," you know it's spectacular. After taking a hiatus during covid, I'm back to offer the Sandhill Crane Migration workshop in Nebraska. Over half-a-million cranes come to the Platt river for a "crane party" of feeding before they go on to their final nesting destinations. The purring bird calls are deafening and the fly-ins and fly-outs on the river are awe-inspiring. Experiencing this changed my life.
We will be shooting from some of the most exclusive locations on the river for close up photos then throughout the day we'll be guided to the best viewing with the help of local spotters.
Stay tuned to learn more. Or email us at [email protected] to be sent details in the coming weeks.
