San Juan Mountains Landscape Photography Workshop

In 2023-24, I am offering my San Juan Mountains Landscape Photography Workshop year round.

There are photos to be made and sights to be awe-struck by all 12 months down here and with my landscape photography workshop, you’ll be sure to capture some of the most magical sights around!

As a local to these mountains, I know them extremely well! And I know all the best spots for wildflowers, waterfalls and views that’ll leave ya speechless.

I will not be showing you the same stuff everyone else is seeing on workshops down here and we will have a most excellent time!

This workshop is car-based. Jon is our driver and extra set of trained eyes. We will drive together to amazing locations and have a peaceful, inspiring time.

If you would like to spice things up, I have a couple short hikes with views worth a zillion words I’m happy to bring you to. They are strenuous.

We come to you. The San Juans are really big! Wherever you’re staying, we can set up an awesome workshop where you wont need to drive too far.

Upon booking and having a quick email chat, I will get your workshop prepared and laid out in a PDF that you can take your time reading. This will include location details, times, what to expect and other information that is helpful and relevant. If you don’t care for a custom workshop, I have a standard outline for a spectacular workshop and will send you that information so you know what to expect.


Some finer details:
This workshop is roughly 5 hours in length and time begins when you hop in our vehicle and we get going.
Workshops happen even if it’s rainy or storming.
I only offer morning workshops- sorry night owls!
There are always chances to see wildlife on a workshop of course. For this workshop, wildlife is a happy bonus, not our mission and not a guarantee.
If you are flying in, the nearest airports are Durango (small) and Albuquerque (big).
I’m happy to help you with some light planning- where to stay, eat, hike -I’m happy to help!

I feel like I really lucked ut because we saw so much wildlife! It was pretty amazing, actually.

I really loved working with Deirdre to learn how to really capture wildflowers! From composition to settings, she walked me through “making” a photo and these are some of the best photos I have ever made!
