Come Photograph with Me!

Come Photograph with Me!

When people see my photos on the web or at a show, they often say they’d love to come along on my photo trips – sometimes even offering to carry my bags (little do they know how much camera gear I travel with!)

In the past, my response has usually been sorry – I travel by myself. And while I’ll continue to take many of my photo trips alone – I am offering three photo trips in the spring of 2016 when you can come photograph with me!

In February, I’ll be leading my Winter’s Beauty workshop at Chincoteague and Assateague Virginia. We’ll spend the weekend photographing along the beach and in the marshes of the Assateague National Seashore and the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. I’m hoping we’ll see another spectacular sunset like we did last year.

All the details about this workshop are at http://beautifulflowerpictures.com/winters-beauty-at-chincoteague-and-assateague/

In March, I’ll be leading my Springtime in the South Photo Tour (yes a tour is different from a workshop – more relaxed, less classroom time, lots of fun) exploring Savannah, Charleston and the South Carolina Low Country. We’ll be photographing every day – including trying for a few sunrises and sunsets. But we’ll also take to time to explore historic districts, and experience the culture and the food of the region.

And finally, in April I’ll be leading my Spring in the Smokies Workshop. April in the Smokies means peak wildflower season, wonderful streams and waterfalls surrounding by bright green foliage and hopefully beautiful sunrises. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is my favorite national park – and April is my favorite time of year to visit.
