I teach private landscape photography workshops. My goal is to give you a personalized, hands-on learning experience. My teaching style is “free-form,” and I customize the workshop to your experience level and areas of interest. My workshops are for photographers of all skill levels. I have worked with beginners who are new to their equipment, experienced photographers looking for advanced instruction, and others that have just ventured into this field of photography from another. All are welcome!

My private workshops are ideal for individuals looking for one-on-one training, with personal undivided attention.
