Hello Reader, As the vibrant hues of fall sweep across the land, we hope your hearts and SD cards are both filling up with memories and mesmerizing captures. As we wind down from a season of workshops and conferences, there's an undeniable energy buzzing around here (or is that exhaustion? π€£). Fresh off an immersive session at Yellowstone, we're still awestruck by the myriad of intimate landscapes our group managed to create. The fascinating play of light, shadow, and the autumnal palette made every moment at Yellowstone an adventure, further testament to the unique vision each photographer brought to the table. Sharing and comparing our daily captures was a highlight, showcasing the endless possibilities that exist even when we're all rooted in the same location. On top of that, the recent Out of Moab conference was a celestial treat. Under the vast, starry expanse, attendees were inspired and challenged to capture the ethereal beauty of the night sky, giving a whole new dimension to the stunning Moab landscape. And as we transition into the cooler months, there's no slowing down. Between exciting updates from Nature Vision Magazine and gearing up for our 2024 workshops (spots are flying!), there's much to look forward to. So, grab a cup of your favorite fall beverage, cozy up, and dive into this newsletter. As always, we're grateful for this community and the shared passion that ties us all together.

Yellowstone Workshop TestimonialsJennifer and David's Intimate Details workshop in Yellowstone was outstanding! They have extensive knowledge about the area which was very helpful when navigating the busy park at the best times to avoid traffic congestion as well as diverting to a different location if necessary. In four days we were able to shoot a huge variety of intimate and wider scenes from geysers to waterfalls to autumnal grasses to bacterial mat details. The afternoon post processing sessions were incredibly helpful for me. Jennifer and David have an obvious love and respect for nature. They were very kind and supportive to all of the participants and I could not have asked for a better experience. I will most definitely be doing another one of their workshops!

I have done quite a few photography workshops and what David and Jennifer is offering is so unique and special that is on a whole other level. They truly care about their clients' learning and progress in photography. I did a six day Yellowstone intimate photography workshop and it was the most exhilarating significant experience in my photography journey so far. Their only focus was for each of us to connect to ourselves and to nature on a much deeper level and find ways to express ourselves using nature. They gave us all the tools we needed, the inspiration and excitement before going out as well as the feedback and support we wanted in the field. Their ability to provide the guidance while giving us the space to find our own way and vision was so different than other photography guides. In addition, David provided extremely valuable post processing tips that will make this this part so much easier. I highly recommend them as they give their all to their clients before during and after the workshop.

It's been an exciting and incredibly productive autumn travel season for us. Since wrapping up our first Yellowstone workshop, we've traveled over 5,000 miles, exploring new landscapes and chasing the elusive aurora. We've never covered this much ground in such a short time, and though exhaustion is catching up to us, we're grateful for everything we've witnessed and captured along the way. Our Yellowstone small scenes workshop went exceptionally well, with dynamic weather creating endless...
Greetings from Yellowstone! We're currently between workshops, having just concluded our Yellowstone Night and Day workshop last week with a wonderful group. It was thrilling to introduce night photography to our participants while also showcasing Yellowstone's daytime beauty during mornings and evenings - a unique aspect of this workshop. We had nearly perfect weather, and although we encountered some smoky skies, the wind fortunately kept most of it at bay during our night sessions. The...
Hello Reader, Greetings from Colorado! The first part of July found us teaching a wildflowers workshop in one of our favorite Colorado mountain towns, Crested Butte. We had a wonderful group, and we enjoyed jeeping around the high alpine country, photographing the wildflowers and a few waterfalls. The flowers were beautiful, and we had perfect weather. We were able to share some of our favorite high-alpine locations with the group, and you can see a few of the photographs our attendees...
