2027 & 2028 Photo Tours and Workshops
Our 2027 and 2028 photography tours and workshops span North America and cover a wide range of wildlife and landscape subjects throughout the year. Winter begins in Yellowstone with snowy landscapes and wildlife, followed by multiple bird-focused tours in Florida and Arizona during peak seasons. Spring brings opportunities to photograph the Northern Lights in Alaska, along with birds in the Southwest and the misty redwood forests and coastlines of California and Oregon.
Summer includes time on the Maine coast photographing puffins and seabirds, as well as additional Alaska trips focused on wildlife and dramatic scenery. In the fall, we return to Yellowstone and Grand Teton for wildlife and autumn color, followed by peak foliage in Maine and New Hampshire. The year wraps up in the Southwest with Zion and Bryce, where changing light and fall color add depth to canyons, rivers, and hoodoos.
All tours are instructional and designed for photographers of varying experience levels, with small groups and a 4:1 participant-to-instructor ratio that allows for individual attention in the field.
Space is limited, and many tours fill well in advance.
I am an Authorized Permittee of the National Park.
