About

Yellowstone is a magical place of grand, sweeping, mountain landscapes, a super volcano with thermal features that include over half of the geysers on earth, and the best place to view and photograph north America’s majestic wildlife living as they have since the last ice age in a wilderness haven of over 22 million acres.

And of course, all of this makes Yellowstone National Park one of the top bucket-list destinations for photographers and nature lovers from all over the world!

We know Yellowstone and it’s wildlife intimately, and we will do everything possible to support you and put you in the best locations for you to capture the photographs you’ve been dreaming of making, in every season and all kinds of weather. Whether your interests are wildlife, landscape or generalist nature photography, we can help you make better photographs.

Our specialty is working with photographers who want to learn new or polish existing skills while they are here. We can provide expert advice and instruction on everything from equipment selection and how to use your new camera, to advanced techniques for landscape, wildlife, night sky, macro, and travel photography. Just ask!

We will discuss your needs and goals with you well before your arrival to craft the experience of your dreams. We offer nearly unlimited choices for photographers of all skill levels. Based on your interests and available time you can select adventures ranging from a half day to several days in length. Our clients range from professional photographers looking for a guide who understands their needs, through beginners just learning the craft.

This tour is not accessible to wheelchair users, but we may be able to accommodate other mobility limitations, please inquire before booking. We will provide a picnic lunch (full-day safaris), snacks, and refills for your water bottles.

*NOTE: Half-day tours can begin at any time. We will agree on a departure time and tour schedule after you have reserved your tour date.
