About

Get personal help in your photography journey Sometimes it's not enough to join a half-day or full-day photo tour with us. You may want personal attention to focus on artistry or technique in your shooting and/or post-processing; organizing your photo catalog; getting out of a rut in your creative exploration and self-expression; or creating a deeper connection with the spirit and emotion contained deep within the subjects you like to photograph. Sessions can be held in the field or online depending on your location and choice of focus.

How we can help

Bonnie & Chris have both been on their own personal self-development and creative artistry journeys since their college years. Their focus for almost two decades has been their passion for Nature and photography. They have studied with numerous well-known and exceptionally creative photographers including people like:

John Paul Caponigro, Seth Resnick, Martin Bailey, Les Saucier, Kathleen Clemons, Tommy White, Alistair Nicol, Glenn Guy, Ron Clifford, Wes Hardaker, Angela Pan, Mark Hilliard, Jamie Konarski-Davidson, Joe Baraban, Lee Varis, The Arcanum, & Brian Peterson School of Photography.

Their post-processing toolkit includes software applications such as Adobe's Creative Cloud with Lightroom & Photoshop; DxO/NIK; Luminar; ON1; Topaz; and others. They can help you discover and learn just the right tools and features to serve your needs without overwhelming you with the kitchen sink!

Through his Self Discovery Through the Lens mentorship program, Chris delivers an online, group program to help empower you with a deeper connection to your own creative power and your ability to express what you wish to communicate in your photographic imagery. Adding a personal session to the mentorship program will further enrich your exploration of photography as a medium for self discovery and expression.

NOTE: Instructor travel time for local sessions (your home or public meeting location) incurs a small additional charge depending on duration of travel. Sessions can also be held ONLINE or at our home office without requiring instructor travel.

Adventure Tips

Bring a sturdy tripod

A tripod will help stabilize your camera for sharp images, especially in low light conditions.

Dress in layers

Mountain weather can change rapidly; layered clothing keeps you comfortable throughout your session.

Arrive early for sunrise scenes

Capturing the soft morning light enhances landscape photos; plan to arrive 30 minutes early.

Charge your camera batteries beforehand

Long outdoor sessions drain batteries quickly; bring extras to avoid missing shots.
