Northern Lights Photo Workshop

About us

My dream of becoming a professional wildlife photographer began in front of my tv watching Wild Kingdom. Does anyone remember that show? I was about six years old. It was either Lawrence Welk, Hee Haw or Wild Kingdom. For me the choice was easy. Bring on the beasts!!

I've spent the last eight years taking about fifteen hundred guests a year into the wild. When we come out I have guests shooting with confidence. Ignited with a refreshed passion for nature and eager to improve on capturing its magic. That's why I do this. Photography saved my life, and I get to see it make positive changes in my clients. I absolutely love that!!
