Andy Crawford Photography and I are teaming up for his Into the Swamps workshop from November 21 to 25, 2024 on Lake Verret, Louisiana. Join me as I head south and we explore the stunning landscape of the Louisiana swamps. Towering cypresses and wildlife galore mean there is no shortage of opportunities to make amazing photographs.

Private Group Workshops & Tours

Do you have a group of like-minded photography enthusiasts you'd like to work with while honing your photographic skills?
