Photo Workshops NOTE

Our workshops are now participant-only. 

This means if a spouse or friend 

wants to join you on the workshop 

they will need to attend as a participant 

and pay the same tuition.  

This keeps our groups small, manageable and fun!

Session 2 - Jan 13-18, 2024 - 1 spot left!!

Session 3 - Feb 20-25, 2024 - FULL!!


 Yellowstone is certainly one national park that mystifies visitors and offers a wonderful and fascinating playground for the photographer.  Even more so in winter.  The only way into Yellowstone in the Winter is with a commercial snow coach or snowmobile tour company.....so the tourists are MINIMAL!!  Plus, animals are much easier to spot and really stand out from their usual surroundings.  Then add a layer of snow on their coats and you'll get images like no other.  


This workshop will involve three days in our own private snow coach with our driver helping spot wildlife and steering us to amazing scenic areas as well.  We will explore most of the mid to southern part of the park on the snow coach for the first 3 days and then spend a day and a half based on the north end in Gardiner, MT exploring the road through the Lamar Valley to Cooke City.  We will also take some time to play in the Mammoth Springs area.
