Workshops & Hikes

My workshops cater to all levels of photographers and include classic viewpoints as well as some hidden gems. I'll make sure you're in the best place to take advantage of the light and weather conditions.

Choose a one-to-one workshop (and personalize it to what you'd like to photograph, specific techniques, or how far you want to hike), or join a small group workshop (which is limited to no more than 3 photographers).

I will help you discover new places and improve your photography at the same time. Workshops are relaxed, fun, and based on a series of practical lessons out in the field using your own camera equipment, with you setting the pace to ensure you get the guidance and encouragement you're looking for. Workshops are a great place to refine your photographic skills in terms of technique, composition, and lighting or to work on a new skill that you would like to develop.

Photo hikes are open to any level of photographer - whether you shoot with your phone, a film camera, a DSLR, or a mirrorless camera. Hikes are relaxed and slow-paced, so you can work on specific techniques (using your own camera equipment) while receiving guidance from an experienced landscape photographer.
